I'm getting the feeling that this is one of those series where the creator found his original run unexpectedly extended and started vamping a bit to fill out the extra volumes. The mission to redeem the pep squad and baseball pitcher have been completed, but suddenly a minor character is pushed forward as a villain and the closing pages promise the start of a drama club arc. Mission creep has our time travelers needing to assist another down-on-its-luck school club? Oh.

Fortunately, the art remains good and the energy is high, with some exploration of the love triangle taking up the center of the book as our time-displaced protagonist goes on an awkward date with one of his romantic interests. ( )
