I thought this volume was a bit slow until the very end. A lot of the issues have been established already in the first book, so this just adds a little more to it. Pretty good, but a little weaker than the first. I am, however, pretty intrigued with the story. A slight departure from my usual harem anime/manga/games.

There's a mini-comic at the end of the book titled "The Land of Sisters."

8. 夏の休日 (Summer Holiday): It's the dog days of summer. Koshiro is with their father and Nanoka is with their mother. At the mother's request, Koshiro pays a visit to her house. Koshiro and Nanoka go out to the summer evening festivities and come home. Nanoka insists that they sleep in the same room. As Koshiro is tucking her in, he gives her a nice long look.

9. お母さんの恋人 (Mother's Boyfriend): There's been a guy who's been hanging around the mother's hair salon a little too much. So much that rumors are flying that he likes the mother. Nanoka is opposed to it and asks why Koshiro didn't prevent the parents from divorcing. When asked about the supposed boyfriend, the mother comes up with a plan. He dresses up Koshiro and in front of the suitor, exclaims that she already has a lover.

10. かわいいかわいい妹 (Cute, Cute Sister): Koshiro and Nanoka go out eating at a dessert shop which Nanoka talks about at school. Rumors fly as to whether Nanoka has a boyfriend, but the friends find out it's only the brother. After school, she helps out a male classmate so she comes home really late. The classmate walks her home and Koshiro sees them. He gets all huffy and puffy and blurts out that Nanoka might be taken advantage of because she's cute.

11. すき、きらい、すき (Love, Hate, Love): The siblings have little interaction with each other after the incident. Nanoka has to commute to school by herself and gets bumped around in the train car. At school, she's offered a ticket to the school festival for her and her brother; a couple's ticket. The next day, they leave at the same time so Koshiro is able to accompany her on the train. Like a boyfriend, he protects her from the mass crowds.

12. 恋文 (Love Letter): Nanoka gets a love letter from a classmate at school that invites her to the school festival. However, Nanoka is still torn about her brother. She would really love it if Koshiro went, but he has work so he can't go. At the festival, she refuses the boy who wrote the love letter and thinks about her brother.

13. 兄妹になる方法 (The Way of Being Brother and Sister): It's Sunday and Koshiro and Nanoka go out and about. They go to the zoo and spend time in the park. At the end of the day, Nanoka confirms that they have a really good relationship being brothers and sisters.

14. 秋　ロマンチック (Autumn, Romantic): Nanoka tells Koshiro that she loves him.
