i love confession arc and the first day of being in a relationship arc so much because it's just pure joy from both of kaoruko and rintaro 🥺 and the backstory of kaoruko liking him way before they even know each other? PEAK i love some she fell first but he fell harder trope

SCREAMING, CRYING , THROWING UP WITH HOW WHOLESOME THIS WHOLE VOLUME WAS. SIX STARS, NO SEVEN. THIS WHOLE VOLUME WAS ROMANCE PERFECTION AND I THINK THE MOST ROMANTIC PIECE OF MEDIA I HAVE EVER READ IN MY LIFE.
That festival was beautiful. Kaorus AND Rintaros confession had me in tears. The flashbacks to how Kaoru fell in love was so close to you coded. That song is hers and hers alone. I didn’t think anything would top it but then their date after their phone call happened and everything changed. I WAS SQUEALING THE WHOLE NEXT CHAPTER. THAT DATE WAS SO SO SO ROMANTIC. RINTARO IS THE STANDARD AND KAORU BEING NERVOUS AND THE OH ITALIC MOMENT, IT WAS ALL SO MUCH TO COMPREHEND. THEY DID THE OH ITALIC TROPE SO MUCH JUSTICE. AND RINTARO IS SO ALDO CODED WITH HIM WANTING TO LEARN MORE AND MORE ABOUT HER AFTER BECOMING OFFICIAL. THEY ARE JUST TOO CUTE. THEN THEY TOLD THE GANG AND THEY WERE SO CUTE WITH HOW HAPPY THEY WERE FOR THEM. I JUST LOVE THEIR FRIENDSHIP SO MUCH. USAMI IS TOO FUNNY WITH ANNOUNCING A SURPRISE WITH THE BIRTHDAY BOY IN THE GC. TOO FUNNY. CAN’T WAIT TO READ NEXT VOLUME. SO MANY QUOTE GEMS FROM THIS ONE ALONE.
AGAIN SEVEN STARS

Well, extremely teenager declarations of the eternal nature of relationships aside, this is cute. Very, very cute. Everything is so stupidly adorable from confession to embarrassment afterwards to enjoying that new dating smell.

The revealed backstory of just how little Rintaro actually had to worry about his declaration is very sweet and gave a lot of depth to Kaoruko’s own feelings towards him, which turned out to be even stronger than first glance.

Sometimes a story needs just that little extra push to be even better than it already was and all this with Kaoruko is the perfect example. It really developed her character a lot and showed just how equal their feelings were; I thought it was a very delightful addition.

(Although when she says ‘I love you, Rintaro’ it’s hard not to imagine that she’s just earned her place with 20 other girlfriends.)

Everything else just pays off in small, but satisfying, ways. The first date is incredibly charming and the low-level flirting and playing around is very believable. They’re so nervously into one another that it’s hard not to enjoy it.

That makes up the bulk of the volume, plus the usual supportive friends and plans for even more dating going forward. It’s just a real pay-off volume for anybody who was waiting for them to get together and it rewards that reader extensively.

4.5 stars - let’s just give it the full 5 stars because I’m a big old softie who likes stories about two wacky kids in love. Sometimes that’s all it takes.

LO BONITOS QUE SONNNN

[cio · Rating 4 out of 5]

We finally got that big moment between Rintaro and Kaoruko and it was everything. Him actually taking the time to explain why he said “I love you” before anything else just melted me. He didn’t rush, he didn’t make it awkward, he was so open and sincere and then Kaoruko’s huge, glowing smile when she told him she loved him too? I swear my heart grew three sizes. Their date after that was just the cutest thing ever, full of those little moments where you can tell they’re still giddy about officially being together.

I also love how thoughtful they are, even about telling their friends. It wasn’t just a “we’re dating now, deal with it” vibe, they actually considered how it would affect the people around them, which just proves again how grounded and mature Rintaro is.

no, im not jealous. i’m not jealous of fictional teenagers in love and being so sweet and cute to each other and so embarrassed and so eager and still finding out new stuff about each other. in fact, i think it’s too sweet. (im a BIG liar)

This volume was great. It had heart, confessions, teenage angst, and his hot dad.

I am excited for the next volume.
