SOUP FOR THE SOULMATE When Chihiro is slammed by work in Tokyo, Kenta pays her a visit to boost her spirits with food. The thing is, she only has one bed to share between the two of them.

Summer serves up a series of highs and lows for the Fukuyamas—Chihiro most of all. Rainy-season blues leave her cranky and craving spicy curry to burn off a sour mood, but when she meets Mochizuki’s adorable new girlfriend, her excitement boils over and earns her an earful. And after being roped into Yu-chan’s midsummer mission to fight a frightening enemy on her walk home, Chihiro helps the little mischief-maker face her fears and turn a bitter day into a sweet summer memory.
