I seem to have encountered a long sequence of CLAMP manga where the plot is dragged along with great difficulty to reach its conclusion, with Clover being another example. Precious pages are wasted on bombarding the readers with walls of tiny text that any rational person would simply skip over. At this juncture, I am inclined to believe that Hina is not in her right mind. Nine kidnapping attempts would make any ordinary individual extremely paranoid, and by now, Hina should be an expert at detecting signs that someone is after her, such as her teddy bears being knocked over or shoe prints in her garden. However, no, she blindly trusts everyone she meets. I have no clue as to why she is permitted to take care of herself at this stage when she clearly needs a parental figure to tell her that she is being foolish. Touko continues to be my favorite character as the resident voice of reason, but that's not exactly a glowing endorsement, as she doesn't really do anything. She fails to explain to Hina why it's inappropriate to like her teacher in that manner or why she suspects him; she simply lets it go. The plot in this volume is简直就是个笑话. You could remove half of the scenes, and you wouldn't miss a thing. In fact, you might as well just throw the book out the window and engage in something more productive with your time, like staring at a wall for an hour.
