Already? 😱 So soon! Since it said after のんのんびより ends, I thought it’d be next week, since this is the last week. But it’s fine, I’m way behind on that anyway. 😅 ---

I laughed out loud so many times reading this chapter. The whole scene with Yotsuba showing off her “recycling” to her dad was just priceless. And that bottom left panel on pg 8 xD ---

It’s quiet in here… All I can say about this chapter is…poor Koiwai-san xD Also, I feel like Yotsuba’s turning into a monkey this volume. She’s like…constantly climbing around and doing weird things xD Was she always this rambunctious? Or maybe she just has a lot more pent-up energy, now that the other girls are away at school during the day? In any case, the visual humor is off the charts (and I mean that in the best possible way). ---
