Books like Hot Gimmick, Vol. 6

This falls under the heading of 'why why why do I keep reading these...'Sigh.Ryoki is SO freaking manipulative. He treats Hatsumi horribly so when he wants to take her somewhere for New Year's of course he orders her. It never even occurs to him to ask! Argh. Yet the other guys in the story...Azusa is just messed up. Stay away. Then her so-called brother? Creepy?Hatsumi needs to meet some new guys in the new year. That's all there is to it. All the ones she knows are just too toxic for words. Yet I give this three stars why exactly? OK, maybe some warm fuzzies on the Subaru side plot.
