Before I get on with the preview to Today, the Love begin volume 13, lemme clarify that KyouKoi ends at volume 15, not 14. Volume 15 streets in Japan this 25 May. *Nau* let's get on with 3L's preview:
To gain her mother's greenlight to continue dating Kyota, Tsubaki gives the upcoming exams her all and in the end, collapses from exhaustion. How does Kyota react and what does it bode for their relationship? Trouble is definitely looming, especially as Tsubaki meets another super kewl bishie!
Untuk sementara kita menjaga jarak ya?
WHO suggests a trial separation? GET! Today, the Love begin vol 13—but only if you fit the [DEWASA] or Mature profile—for answers.
