There's nothing really special about this series, but it's just so darn readable.

Another super fun volume, though I will admit, it wasn't QUITE as exciting as volume two!
And I ONLY say that because I REALLY dislike the inkling of a love triangle, even though I 100% know it's not going to go anywhere. LOL! I just really really loved the v-e-r-y slow romantic development between Kujou and Yanagi last volume and was hoping it would be more of the focus, not Kei starting to seem like HE is genuinely forming feelings for Kujou throughout this volume. Like noooooooo! Please don't! Please don't mistake her kindness for something more because it's purely just kindness and desperation to get advice on how she is starting to feel for Yanagi because…
YESSSSSSSS!! Kujou IS feeling that something IS different, but she doesn't know what it is just yet. Thankfully one person stepped in and told her not to worry about it and find/explore a new "normal" with him, which was MUCH better than a certain character saying it was all an illusion. :p I was really excited to see when she had her moment of seeing Yanagi as a man even if he feels she doesn't see him that way. (Hang in there Yanagi!)
Speaking of Yanagi, I feel bad saying this, but the most delightful part of this series is seeing Yanagi's feelings totally dictate his actions He is always overthinking, taking in situations A LOT differently than what they are in reality, and other chaotic things that just make this series always so much fun to read!
While I'm a little bummed about the love triangle angle, I am looking forward to reading the next volume! This series continues to be so much fun and I hope that Kujou will continue to realize that she feels something deeper for Yanagi than just "friends"!

Kujou and Yanagi fight to get Kujou to recognize her emotions while Souma seethes in the background. From club trips to the dreaded Manga Cold, it’s time to face facts. Or ignore them completely. It’s a tough call.
Now that we’ve settled into a routine, it’s pretty clear that this is a classic manga love triangle, except the No Hope Rival is also a conniving jerk who keeps making things worse for everybody, including himself. I don’t love Souma, but watching him screw up as much as Kujou and Yanagi is pretty amusing.
Kujou is really, truly the best part of this series - she’s just so methodical and her pace so glacial that she makes the migratory patterns of Arctic terns look like a stroll down the block for a bag of milk. There’s a reason I say it every time, but it take skill to write somebody this deadpan and not make them boring.
Her demeanour is so not the norm that she makes for a real breath of fresh air. Every time she manages a smile it’s like Moses parted the Red Sea again. She is most certainly in love, but without knowing what that means to her she is constantly friend-zoning Yanagi even as they are getting closer and closer.
And Yanagi just doesn’t have any chill left, I think he ran out back in the first volume, so he sees everything Souma is doing to Kujou with an unwarranted sense of jealousy and paranoia, plus he’s also grappling with having been given most everything in life, even if he doesn’t actually act like a rich snot.
It makes for some fun times - Souma’s also really actually starting to crush on Kujou, even as he mostly keeps pushing her towards Yanagi as he tries to mess things up.
This isn’t a bad little series - it’s become nice and comfy, plus the chemistry and interactions between the three main characters tends to be a lot of fun. It just had a vibe that it has settled into and it’s not especially interested in going beyond it.
Which, hey, not a bad thing. A comfy shojo is always a good find and all, but as it has settled itself in, it has very quickly sanded off the edges that made that first volume spectacular and the second volume pretty darn great.
That happens a lot with long series, but it comes on so fast here that it is a little shocking at its speed. I’m still going to read and enjoy this to bits, but it will be on its new terms, which aren’t as strong as its old ones.
3 stars - super solid; not much by way of its old brilliance, but it still has enough lustre to recommend it, especially if you enjoy spending time with these characters like I do.

It's just so cuute--- I don't why I enjoy this so much, but I do. I just love Yanagi ^^ Also like Souma is SO ADORABLE here, and I love the illustrations, some of the Kujou scenes are just too cute >< Having fun re-reading this series, before picking up the final volume!
(This book contains romance, (mild) references that are easy to miss- (like in a kid’s movie, and are used not seriously.) There is also alcohol and mild language. I would give this book an age rating of 13+, but it’s pretty chill!)

It is a very heart warming manga. The story is about Yanagi who is always first in everything plus he is a Rick and handsome brat. But suddenly a girl named Kujou is transferred to his primary school and turns out she is first in everything. So to defeat her and come first he start persuing her and they have a last game.

Things are finally starting to move, and I love how she navigates her feelings—it’s honestly so cutesy in the best way. The male lead is still hilarious (and charmingly arrogant), and now the sister? She’s such a character—definitely adds a new layer to the story. This part feels fresh and keeps the momentum going. I’m enjoying the ride.

Mikoto is slowly getting there… slowly but at least there’s progress?! As much as I would like someone to just point it out to her, I would prefer her to figure it out on her own… It’s more fulfilling!!!!

C’est sympa mais le rythme est un peu lent quand même.

This is a very nostalgic manga series for me. In this volume, Kujou starts feeling differently about Yanagi, but can't quite pinpoint what she's feeling.

Still enjoying it, even if I don’t really feel like we need that extra love triangle character. I guess he adds drama/hilarity. 😅

EVERYTHING ABOUT THESE GUYS IS PERFECTION! THEY ARE SO CUTE AHHHHH 🥰

Quite a fast read, no boring moments.
Comedy is quite gold.
Koujo slowly noticing Yanagi.

This was fun, I like the progression and low key triangle vibes. I do get a little confused sometimes between the verbal and thinking thoughts.

Another competition for Kujou's affections have arrived- Typical. Kei, who shares a lot more in common than Kujou in his background. However, his relationship with Kujou is interesting since her she depends on his advice to get closer to Yanagi which results in a serious misunderstanding. The tension is not dark but is rather cute.
After the astronomy club goes to Kei's house, they drink all night. Kei starts realizing his feelings for the main character( typical, again, but this is much more sad.. always the fate of the secondary male character.. let's hope you find another girl fast... but not happening.. is it?) Yanagi decides to take Kujou home by using a excuse while the rest of the astronomy club decides to stay at Kei's house.
" Yanagi, you were crying all night" LOL!!! Poor Yanagi, he cries when he drinks. " Kei, I understand your feelings. *bawling*" Alcohol....
After Yanagi gets involved in a mixer, his "friends" start talking behind Yanagi's back since all the attention of the girls are directed at him. Yanagi is both uncomfortable and aware of these feelings but is both too decent to mention it and is rather used to it( Poor Yanagi...) However, Kei, who works at the resturant where the meeting takes place dislikes them and stands up for Yanagi....whom hears everything and leaves the meeting in high spirits( budding bromance....?) But they end up getting involved with Kujou on the way...
