I’m going to keep trying to finish it though. In fact, I’m growing very impatient with this series. I wasn’t sure how much longer I could read about pointless balls and five thousand different situations that test Mizuki’s ability to cover up the fact that she’s a girl. Thank goodness for something exciting to read about. Looks like there’s going to be a little bit of fighting over Mizuki. Sano soon realizes Gilbert has some feelings for her, and he doesn’t like it. He definitely understands her confessing that she lives as a boy in Japan to Gilbert. So, Sano meets the parents! Mizuki spends half the time trying to keep the conversation in English so the boys won’t find out she’s a girl, but Sano understands more than she gives him credit for.

They sit down and have a bite to eat when her dad appears and invites everyone over for dinner… and to stay the night. They just happen to be in the states for some trip. The two of them are spending a companionable afternoon out when she runs into Sano and Nakatsu. She does run into her old friend (and first crush) Gilbert though. She leaves a little disappointed she won’t be able to spend her break with Sano. She gets called home to visit her family during a break. Just as I was getting frustrated with the agonizing slowness of their relationship development, something cool happens. Nakatsu quickly faints so she gets to dance with Sano. Mizuki attends the Christmas ball dressed as a girl.
