I particularly enjoyed chapters 39 and 40 as it provided something a little more profound than the other chapters. Everything else is the usually episodic comedy. With only two more volumes to go, I wonder if anything more is going to happen or if it's just going to end at that.

There's a color page, a bonus chapter where the gang is trying to lose some poundage and a few sketches and merchandise gallery.

38. 野性の呼び方 (The Call of the Wild): Hitoshi, Kikuko, and the three AI beings are out skiing. Forty accidentally injures a baby wolf and takes him in to care for him. Later, they hear that there's a reward out for capturing a genuine Japanese wolf and Twenty is up to turn him in to get the 3 million yen reward. However, Forty (male) won't let him go and instead of just releasing him in the wild where he'll be caught again, they figure out a way to transport him out of the area so he won't get captured.

39. 夢で逢えたら（前編） (If I See You In My Dreams, First Part): Hitoshi has been purusing some sketchy Internet sites and downloading the contents. He gets discovered and quits. Later, Twenty starts getting these dreams where it seems like someone is trying to communicate with her. She remembers the URL from her dream and travels there. She finds an old school house and inside, there's a lady that looks just like her. Before she can talk though, she comes out in foreign house where she finds out that the lady, 石橋 (Ishibashi), who she remembers from her dreams has just recently died. Twenty and Hitoshi know that programs can't have dreams and determine that her dreams are because Hitoshi overwrote some of Thirty's files.

40. 夢で逢えたら（後編） (If I See You In My Dreams, Last Part): Thirty wants to find that school house in real life, but has no luck so Hitoshi posts a question on the web. They get a ton of responses, one of which leads them to the school house which they find out is going to be demolished soon. They head over to the school and Thirty finds a diary from the lady who used to be a school teacher there right before the war. Her wish was to be able to have a graduation ceremony for her students since they never had one. Then, the alumni from that school arrive and see Thirty thinking that she's their old school teacher. On Ishibashi's behalf, Thirty gives them their diplomas.

41. 目指せ！格闘王の道！！ (Onward on the Road to Champions): Hitoshi is out of money so he takes up a part time job programming. The girls also work as models and have to be in a convention. When Hitoshi takes over, he accidentally erases the secret fighting game the company has been working on to debut at the convention. With the help of Thirty and gang, he manages to fake out the crowd.

42. マイ・フェア・レディ (My Fair Lady): Cynthia (Cindy) MacDougal comes into to Hitoshi's workplace and asks to buy the most expensive computer. Hitoshi recommends something more model and goes the extra mile in giving her more specific instructions on the setup. Apparently, Cindy is a famous actor and daughter of IBN's chief and happens to be near Hitoshi's house. Thirty bumps into her and they talk a bit before they meet Hitoshi. Cindy asks Hitoshi for more personalized instruction and brings him and Thirty to her house. While giving her instructions, Hitoshi and Cindy accidentally kiss in front of Thirty.

43. フロム・シンディ (From Cindy): In a jealous fit, Thirty sets up a computer and also asks for instructions. After fighting over Hitoshi for a while, Cindy explains that she just wants to email her dad on his birthday (today) and has always been afraid of the computer after she broke her father's. She types really slow and is in danger of missing the midnight deadline. She finish in time, but then doesn't have his email address. Hitoshi help out by having Thirty pretend to be the computer fairy and helps deliver the mail.
