And on the April 2022 catch up is... this!.
Kinda interesting seeing so many familiar names commenting as I scroll through.
If I hadn't just finished reading Volume1, that'd be a decent recommendation in itself.
Concerning the use of 'Dear' as an affectionate form of address:
I guess it may be a generational/cultural thing, as while I haven't heard anyone use if that way for some time, that has to do with the folks I recall doing so being long dead or not seen in 20+ years.
My grandmother, parents, and various aunts would use "Dear' in various ways that seem to have fallen out of fashion in recent years.
"Be a dear and hand me that"
"Thank you, dear"
"Dear, could you [request]"
"Yes, dear"
"Be right with you, dear"
Not my circle, but in others you might hear the use of "Dearie."

This was a most enjoyable read.
It was interesting how the true details behind the interesting events at his former school were gradually revealed.
I was most pleased when the idiot was basically told that since he'd given up on the project, he could kindly shut up until the presentation was over.
He never did catch on that Akane was interested in him that way in addition to her interest as a mentor.
I'm honestly torn as to which Team to sign up with.
It's a heck of a lot easier to convince folks you've given up on an activity if all of your storage spaces aren't filled with your ongoing attempts. Just sayin'.
Anyway, onwards!
Oh, right.
Yes, this was another financially successful catch up for J-Novel; both volumes purchased.
