I wonder if they're going to have one of these every time Ai yori is released so they can include a bonus cover. The cover included this time is very provocative. The other bonus included is a To Heart 2 pencil board.

Like the previous volume, this one is filled with many one-shot and side story chapters. There's Ai yori, of course. Tamami Momose of "Doki Doki School Hours" has a side chapter for her new series. Ken Yagami has another one-shot here. And Yutaka Tanaka of "Ai Ren" (I'll get back to that one of these days) has a one-shot here too.

The Ai yori story focuses on Natsuki in particular when Chika and Chizuru make a surprise visit to her apartment complex and find out that she has a male childhood friend. The two girls get thoughts that they could be lovers, but Natsuki and Keisuke deny it. However, Keisuke doesn't think it would be a bad idea.

Momoiro Sweetie introduces Kado-chan and the people who interacts with as a plug for the first book of the series. It's a 4 panel comic like Doki Doki School Hours.

To Heart2 introduces the characters and follows them as they're preparing for the school festival. Art is really good in this one.

Ami's Tactics is a story about Takeru, a series Shogo player who meets a young girl who apparently is one of his dad's pupils in the game. At first, he doesn't take her serious as she's too carefree to play Shogo, but he learns that he doesn't always need a poker face to play the game.

Motoko's Dearest Lover is a one-shot manga with 5 very very short stories involving a manga author and her editor.
