So who's this Asuka girl. It's been a while since I read the first volume and after some review, I realized that there was a new character introduced here. Maybe it's the long delay between volumes, but the stories, while fun to read, don't really click with me just yet. Having read most of Hanaukyo Maid Tai between this volume and volume 1, I can definitely tell the similarities as they're by the same author.

This limited edition comes with several postcards, a postcard holder, and a special cover. There's a bonus chapter inside with the Goko school newsletter as well as pullout poster of the Koi Koi 7.

7. 月読さんの”ゆううつ”って漢字でかける？ (Can I Write Tukuyomi's "Depression" in Kanji?): Miyabi, while admired by many of her classmates and wanted by the Goko club, isn't all that happy. A mysterious girl with an eye-patch appears one day and causes her to collapse and remember events in the past. Later, she's alone with Tetsuro and asks him if he would still care for him knowing her weirdness (she proceeds to inflate her head as that's one of her traits). Of course he says yes.

8. 哲郎受難の日 (Tetsuro's Day of Agony): Yayoi accidentally rips Tetsuro's pants on the way to school, so she has him wear a girls uniform. He's not wearing glasses which is enough for him to go through the day without being noticed. However, that mysterious girl with the eye-patch knows and gives him a kiss.

9. 立て！　「五光会」今は立て！ (Stand!, "Goko Club" Now Stand!): The Goko school is holding another festival and each of the girls is participating to win a vacation trip. As Yayoi is flying Tetsuro in to school, he sees the girls with the eye-patch and recognizes her as Asuka, the girl he thought he had lost in the past.

10. フィーバー！！　ミヤ様、五光会 (Fever! Miya, Goko Club): Yayoi is a little bummed but happy that Tetsuro has found his lost friend. If she is to be destroyed, she wants to be turned into a crab-stuffed bread, her favorite food. Yayoi talks to Asuka and after she receives confirmation that she is who Tetsuro remembers, Asuka slashes Yayoi up with her box cutters. Meanwhile, Tetsuro witnesses a fellow student supervisor for the festival being assailed.

11. 五光会特攻 (Goko Club Suicide): Tetsuro comes to the rescue and with Sakuya's help, they find Yayoi. Fortunately, Yayoi can't die and comes back to life again. Miyabi is outside in the rain dealing with Asuka.
