Horikashi are the best, I can’t wait for more development for them
Just finished chapter 17, I enjoyed the plot overall and in particular the ending where Nozaki wants Chiyo to cover for the magazine cover, and the fact that he went with what Yuzuki did in the end (and how she has no idea what’s going on, lol)
Also just started chapter 18, and I have to say I love this panel:

I thought I was already in chapter 19 but I still have a bit more to go then expected - gotta catch up with you guys!
A little late, but finally done with Chapter 19! I love the part where Nozaki puts everyone together for his reference drawing, but also the part where the random girl asks Mikoshiba to pose like a guy who got rejected by his lover, lol. And also, the extra panel… is this going to become BL? Hahahaha
Now only one more chapter to go and I’ll be done with volume 2! These volumes are more text-heavy then I expected, so I’m happy to be almost done with 2 of them ![]()
General future spoilers since I don’t know when exactly it becomes relevant since the anime didn’t quite get that far and I didn’t get that far when I started reading in English years ago either: Nozaki has a younger sibling who will be introduced within the next couple of volumes I believe, who was originally going to be his younger sister and would be “paired up” with Mikorin the way Nozaki & Chiyo, Hori & Kashima, and Yudzuki & Waka are… until sensei remembered Mikorin isn’t very good with girls and made the younger Nozaki a guy instead, but still kept him paired with Mikorin and kept all the romantic undertones that were originally going to be there had they been m/f like the others. So the “official”/intended couple for Mikorin is m/m.
