Things actually happen in this volume! Pitaten has been pretty flat in terms of plot for the past few books, but finally, something happens to Misha. My curiosity has finally been roused for this series. I don't know, but Misha's speaking style with the "SU" at the end of each sentence does annoy me sometimes when I try to vocalize the text myself.

There's a color first page and a letter from the author on the third to last page.

20. 美味しいカレーの作り方 (How to Make Delicious Curry): Misha's been quite energetic after coming back from her test. However, she gets a letter and becomes more subdued. When Shia needs some help making curry at work, Misha uncharacteristically holds herself back from helping. With some encouragement from Kotaro, Misha joins in. As they're walking home, Misha tells him that she failed her test.

21. 元気の出る怒り方 (How to Have Energetic Anger): Apologies for the poor title translation. Later that night, Shia brings over some PJs for Kotaro. Misha comes over with her matching PJs. She explains that she's working to become an angel to please Kotaro, but he gets angry at her patronizing. That night she has a bad dream. The next afternoon, she reveals to Kotaro that she has grown feathered wings.

22. 天使の見つけ方 (How to Look for an Angel): As she is showing him her wings, Ten comes to the door. Kotaro goes out of his way to prevent him from seeing her and yells at her to hide her wings and to wear some clothes. The next day, everything he sees reminds him of Misha. She goes home to find that she hasn't come home yet, so he goes out and finds her at the park. They make up.

23. 迷子の見つけ方 (How to Look for a Lost Child): Kotaro is supposed to pick up his cousin so Misha ends up going to the amusement park with Shia. However, Shino, the cousin ends up at the amusement park with Misha and Shia, while Kotaro is left waiting. Shino ends up running away as she's particular afraid of Shia, and Misha, using her newly sprouted wings helps Kotaro find her.

24. 学校の歩き方 (How to Walk to School): Shino is supposed to stay at Kotaro's for a while. However, he has to leave her at home while he goes to school. She doesn't like that, so she tags along with Shia as Shia brings lunches to school. Shino then runs around school and as he's looking for her, Kotaro remembers how it feels to be left alone. They eventually find her and he brings her home.

25. 進路の決め方 (How to Decide on One's Future): Ten has gotten the highest marks again, much to Hiroshi's distain. However, he is still at odds with his parents, especially his father. While other's praise him in that he can choose whatever school he wants to attend, he knows that he's still prevented from doing so by his father.
