oyceterI read these three volumes very far apart, so I've forgotten a lot.
Sunako and the four "beings of light" continue to live together, and Sunako's aunt randomly pops by or calls every so often and threatens the guys so the plot can move forward. I think she is the Kanzeon Bosatsu of the series, only sadly with less hermaphroditism and sarcasm. Also, Sunako's aunt hasn't read the book ahead of time.
All the incidents are one-shots, which probably contributes to my poor memory of them. I'd like more of an arc now that the series has hit vol. 6, especially since there are quite a few more coming. We did have a surprise visit from Sunako's past, along with a brief flashback to the guys' first days in the mansion, but those were played more for fun than for emotional depth.
I continue to love Sunako's weirdness, but the wacky hijinks of girls chasing after the four guys and the exaggerated reactions are getting a little boring without more characterization.
