Fly me to the moon vol 14 by kenjiro hata

Nasa's students begin filming the horror movie in the abandoned mansion, but Nasa and Tsukasa are mostly there to check out the furniture. As soon as the door closes and the lights go out, the students are freaked out by the headless suit of armor and giant worms chasing them, but Tsukasa is cool as a cucumber. She grabs a sword and starts fighting back! She nearly ruins the movie except for her unbelievable swordsman skills, and her dual with the mastermind behind all of it. After their harrowing adventure, Kaname convinces Tsukasa that she has to match Nasa in showing affection, including being able to say "I love you," which Tsukasa thinks is the height of embarrassing.

This volume is a huge departure from the other volumes, and I absolutely adored it! I loved seeing Tsukasa in action with her fighting skills and being able to save Nasa, but I also appreciated the second half of this volume focusing on her as well and her difficulty with matching Nasa in affection. We spent a lot of time with Tsukasa in this volume and in signature Hata form, got some interesting breadcrumbs as to who she is, but also rooted for her as she was vulnerable and super cute with her husband. Hata continues to bate us with adorableness between these two lovebirds while getting us to stick around for something we know is going to be juicy and worth the payoff.
