Thinking "How is that sweater not torn yesteryear?"

Same here, Volley-bu-chan. She probably met Bruce Banner off-screen and got a top that would never tear no matter the movements.

Seems more like Volleybu-chan had a split-second realization that this is a once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity for capturing gloriously epic bouncing breasts action in video form, as indicated by the "Newtype flash" in the background of the last panel and her raised smartphone peaking from the corner.

Speaking of VB-chan, apparently her hair is somewhat longer now.

Ah, pollen season. Apparently particularly bad for a number of people in Japan, ever since some politician decided to replace a huge number of their forests with nothing but cedar trees, resulting in an incredible overabundance of cedar pollen.

Over here in Jersey, I have to put up with callery pears every spring. The smell is revolting and I happen to have one of those damn things in front of my house. The city had the bright idea of planting small ones on almost every street, so not only is the pollen more abundant, the stench of rotting fish and spunk is everywhere.

Volleybu: I'm totally gonna film me some sneezing puppies

Back around 1900 their were ads to come out West, to California and Arizona, to get healing air and all that sort of miracle health stuff. People moved out and enjoyed the air and sun....and brought their trees with them...than started having the same damned allergies and ailments they had left the East Coast to get away from.

Leave your damn plants at home!

The decision to plant lots and lots of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica, translated "cedar" but an unrelated species) and hinoki (Japanese cypress — both trees are native) came about because the forests in question had been, during WWII, over-harvested for the war effort and then firebombed by the US, so they pretty much had to start over. The specific species were chosen because they're a) fast-growing and b) useful to industry. And it was a really good idea — except for two interlocking things. First, the economy developed to where they pretty much stopped logging, letting the forests age and grow uncontrolled. Second, once those trees reach about 30 years old, their pollen production goes nuts. So hay fever first became a thing in the mid-1960s, and became endemic in the '70s and '80s.
