This book is the number 9 in this collection, from my point of view drawings and dialogs are the best. The author is continously working in the caracther developmeent, I'm sure the next release will be better

Tina has been hanging out a little too much with Kaoru in Ai's opinion. Is there something going on that she doesn't know about? She might not want to find out the truth about her feelings for Kaoru. Some of the humor is tempered when we found out that Tina is going home to America in a year, so of course she is sad but she doesn't want to tell anyone. She just wants to have good times until then. And Ai has some doubts himself when he receives chocolate from all the girls on Valentine's Day, EXCEPT from Ai! There are some really funny scenes in this volume as the gang goes to play tennis and then later on to a water park and spa, with all the accompanying fan service.

While Ai Yori Aoshi has suffered a lot since it evolved into a harem comedy, it does have flashes of emotion at times. Tina is shown in a bit of deeper light here especially. And besides, the book is funny and romantic! Even though the romance is basically juvenile, isn't that what love is? Something that makes you act like a snot-nosed kid no matter how old you are? Don't expect character development here....ever. Just like real people, they hardly ever change.
