Also, Yoshino in that witch cosplay (HNNNGGGG~).

...The revelation about Natsumi has to be a shock for most people. I bet they were expecting something... more to their tastes.

Nonetheless, I'm expecting a lot of hijinks in the next volume. Turning the cast into 9 year-olds has two implications: either they revert purely physically or both their memories and appearance regress. If it's the latter, there's more potential for comedic mess-ups and a little bit of an insight to their childhood memories. If it's the former there's still potential for entertainment, but little else.

Anyway, I look forward to digging up more information for the latest volume... sometimes you have to look for it to affirm some of the spoilers.

Spoiler:

That's the power of love for you. Theirs is clearly not inferior to Kotori's in any way.

I get the feeling Miku would also have been able to figure it out... if she hadn't been the one captured. This, no one expected either. And the 9 year olds still need to rescue her too?

The curveballs the author threw... man, he really likes to troll.

@Birdway: Spoiler tags please.
