Plot Summary: Kuronuma Sawako is completely misunderstood by her classmates. Her timid and sweet demeanor is often mistaken for malicious behavior. This is due to her resemblance to the ghost girl from "The Ring", which has led her peers to give her the nickname Sadako. Longing to make friends and live a normal life, she is naturally drawn to Kazehaya Shouta, the most popular guy in class, whose "100% refreshing" personality earns great admiration from Sawako.

Watch out Shakespeare, Oh! great is out gunning for you. That's an exaggeration (okay, an outright lie), but this volume does manage to do what the opening volume didn't: it makes you care about the characters.
Distinguishing Ikki from the undifferentiated masses of spunky shounen heroes will never be an easy task, but he displays a gullibility, unconditional love for air treks, and genuine concern for Ringo here that will endear him to all but the most hard-hearted. Ringo likewise is allowed an opportunity to demonstrate the depth of her understanding of and devotion to Ikki that takes her a step beyond her one-note role in the previous volume. Even the ill-tempered Mikan softens her image by dint of her weirdly mean-spirited affection for Ringo and Itsuki.
