Doki Doki School Hours is starting to wear off on me. There's only so much that you can do with characters if they never grow old. It's another year at school with Valentine's day gags and Christmas gags. While I'm sure they're unique, it just feels like they've been repeated before as it has the same type of humor that's prevailed in the last 4 volumes.

Limited edition comes with a replica of Mika's school id holder and date book. The book also has some color illustrations only available on this special edition.

The impression I got from this volume was that one of the central gags is the roundness of Mika's face. Kitagawa is one of the main characters to brings up the puns. The only "arc" that I liked consistently was when the class got an exchange student from America. Like all Americans interesting in Japan, he was an Otaku and got along with Watanabe pretty well.
