I don’t think the anime cut anything out of this volume and it even adapted the colour pages (Haruta’s dream). This volume is adapted in episodes 17-19. (Also, the anime exists and is even better than the light novel.) I will say that, when I watched the anime, I didn’t really understand when Taiga’s feelings towards Ryuuji started to change but I have a much better idea of what happened thanks to getting some of Taiga’s POV this volume so I’m able to understand it a lot better and enjoy it more. It’s not and I accept that but I still wish it was. The reason why I didn’t rate this volume a 5/5 is because, even now that they are becoming more romantic, part of me still really wishes this was more of a platonic love story that challenges the idea that love between people of the opposite sex has to be romantic all the time. It’s a lot of fun, even during the dramatic bits, and Taiga is just so incredibly charming. She claims it’s due to making a mistake in a baseball game, but it’s clear that she’s avoiding Ryuuji. Taiga fucking loves Christmas and has made it her mission to bring Ryuuji and Minori closer together, but Minori herself has been acting depressed. It’s Christmas time and the class decides to hold a Christmas party. Please check it out if you are interested in the series.
