Sweetness and Lightning Vol. 9 (Kodansha, 2017)

First grade is a time for new adventures for Tsumugi-from cutting her hair, to meeting a new relative for the first time, and even trying her hand at cooking all by herself! Tsumugi seems eager to try new things on her own, but Kôhei can't help but feel anxious, wondering if Tsumugi is growing up too fast. And when Tsumugi asks her father if he is ever going to get remarried, how will he respond? Does this mean Tsumugi is ready to move on from her mother-and if so, what about Kôhei?
