re: I know volume 2 won me over, but I can't remember what did it - it was Kaede thinking that Rintarou was better than a science experiment. (I am such a pushover for nerds.)
Even though I was lazy and lumped volumes 2, 3, and 4 together with the same score, I do think 2 wasn't as good as the other two volumes, largely due to the chapter with Rinatarou's friend, because that is one of my least favorite plot devices. (Plus all the good things that you mention about 3; Sentarou will never not be hilarious, and I LOVED Kaede's determination to make Rintarou angry. Kaede, never stop being such a dork.)
