    Kiss Vol. 2

    Summary:
    The chapter opened with a flashback to 7 years old Kae going for piano lessons reluctantly for the first time. She met university student Goshima who was to be her piano teacher. Although hating her lessons at first, she grew to like it and listening to Goshima play Canon brought a skip to her heart. At present time, a 16 years old Kae decided to play Canon for the next recital.

    A new character - Tamaki appeared at the music school looking for Goshima. Having similar disposition and mannerism, Tamaki turns out to be his cousin. That night, everyone went to watch Goshima's performance at another pub. Tamaki made a surprise sit-in by playing the saxophone which complements perfectly with Goshima's piano. The both of them made a striking pair, and Kae was jealous because she felt like a kid next to Goshima. The next day Tamaki teases Goshima for his feelings and protectiveness over Kae. Unfortunately, Kae walked right into them while they "seemingly kiss". An angry Kae toss her papers at them, crying. 

    Kae fell sick with the flu, and when Goshima visited her, she kissed him, announcing that he better get sick as well and she will kill him if he passes the flu to Tamaki as well. Kae got better in time for the recital, while Goshima really caught the flu from her. Kae told Tamaki that she envied her and Tamaki just replied by kissing her kiss between girls!!! kyaaa!!! hehehehe saying that she is returning Goshima's kisses. Tamaki really like teasing Kae as she felt envy herself that Goshima managed to find a someone  that he cares for whereas Tamaki doesn't.

    April 1st arrived and Kae's waiting for Goshima for a date, but he couldn't make it. Instead, he sent  his younger brother, Nobu, to inform her. The two ended up spending the whole day chatting about Goshima. Nobu observes that Goshima is very protective of Kae even though she doesn't realize it and that Kae's his main weakness.

    Kae's birthday arrived, and Goshima gave her perfume Estee Lauder's Pleasures! I have that perfume!! it smells wonderful. He caught her dancing alone with his coat, and teases her about it, but still dance with her in the end. They attracted alot of people and Uchida observes that Kae is getting prettier and that many guys are going to fall for her. This observation came true as a couple of guys started approaching her. Goshima had to "exert his influence" to make the guys back off actually he's not even exerting any influence. he just glared at them!!! Naturally Kae got mad at him as she felt he was acting like her father.heheheeh, Goshima's worried bout her getting caught by another guy, and she's worried that they're not equal because of his maturity.

    The final chapter closes of with Goshima getting sick again and Kae visited him. The sick Goshima dreamt about his parent's final days before the plane crash and when he woke up, he started wondering about death. Kae left the house to buy more medicine, and Goshima's inner heart worried non-stop about what if Kae also left him because of an accident. However, Kae's safe return brought him back to reality and he smiled and said that she is his biggest failure in life.

    Review:
    Unlike Volume 1, here we get to see much of Goshima's own insecurities regarding this relationship with Kae. Although he still acted cool and nonchalant, it is not all that simple. Kae is very attractive, eventhough she doesn't realize it, and always intrepret his protective actions wrongly.
