Review for the complete series
Yukina's classmates avoid her for the cold look she gives everyone. And that suits her just fine: she loves to observe people as it gives her ideas for the novel she's been writing under the penname Yupina. Yupina's novel has become widely popular but there's one thing her readers are in want of: romance. As this is new terrain for Yukina, she decides she needs some first-hand experience. Coincidently, she finds out that her popular classmate Shigure isn't as nice as he lets on. Yukina decides that he will be the one to teach her romance through her missions of love or else she'll let the school see Shigure's true colours.
Missions of Love is an engrossing and addictive manga whilst also being problematic: people who like to crush things by pointing out all its social and moral impropriety will have a field day with this one. My personal main issue with it, though, is that it suffered from its length. I am very sure that this manga was dragged out after the first volumes proved to be such a success.
This manga starts off very strong in which Yukina and Shigure playing out a perfect high school enemies to lovers scenario. Both of them are strong characters and they're constantly trying to get the upper hand in their power struggle which is also filled with lots of chemistry and tension. At times they are perfectly mean to each other, at other times true feelings start to surface and they begin to care. Rivals are thrown in one after the other and while a lot of people might not like this, I believe it was rather necessary in this particular case as neither Yukina nor Shigure would be willing to confess how they really feel without some jealousy or sense of loss involved.
Tōyama has the tendency to make rival characters come across as creepy psychopaths, it's actually something I never liked about her works. Be that as it may, the first two rivals are Yukina's cousin Akira and Shigure's childhood friend Mami. They are both rather possessive and for the most part feel like meddlers. As the story progresses, though, both of them become more fleshed out and start to move away from their obsessions. This turns both of them into likeable characters who actually have really cute and warm sides to them. Mami in particular really grew on me once she stopped being the little psycho she was introduced as.
I would have much preferred this series to have wrapped up with just those characters and with only half the amount of volumes it actually amounted to. The story seems to progress naturally when suddenly the kindergarten teacher arc is introduced: Yukina's former teacher has left her with insecurities she still struggles with today. Although this was already mentioned early on in the series, the appearance of the teacher seemed to derail the plot. That whole arc feels random and cutting it out wouldn't change the outcome of the series one bit. It almost feels like Tōyama was trying to create new tensions, realised it wasn't going well and opted to drop it in favour of a different plotline. It was over and done with as fast and sudden as it came. I faintly remember even thinking of dropping the series at that stage during my first read.
However, while not as strong as the first volumes, Missions of Love catches itself again and makes a turn for the better - mostly in any case. Another rival character is introduced and it adds both pros and cons to the remainder of the story. Hisame is Shigure's younger brother (through marriage, non-blood related) and boy do they not see eye to eye. This adds some much-needed insight to Shigure's life and why he is the way he is. The problem is that Hisame is yet another psychotic little jerk who, unlike Akira and Mami, stays that way. Sure, he certainly does have a few nice moments and cute scenes, but ultimately, he's a creepy little shit.
Putting aside Hisame's creepy ways, the latter volumes mainly deal with the characters' inner feelings which is particularly important in regard to Yukina. She is a tricky character in the sense that a lot of her behaviour seems odd. I can easily see her coming across as a character who is impossibly oblivious to love when it's standing right in front of her. You could read this manga and ask yourself time and again, why is she being so dense? In that same sense, you might wonder how she can share intimate moments with multiple characters without understanding why it's wrong or why it would bother others. While it's never actually spelt out, it is highly implied that there is more to it than just poor characterisation. I don't know much about the different sexual identities, so I won't go ahead labelling Yukina as something I know nothing of, but it's clear that while Yukina feels sexual attraction, she struggles with the concept of love. She is genuinely trying to understand what's inside her heart and beats herself up over not succeeding. She loves different people around her but she doesn't seem to understand the differences between the love one has for friends, family members and the romantic type.
People who have only read the first few volumes and criticise this manga over Yukina blackmailing Shigure into playing love games, this problem does actually get addressed in the latter volumes. Although Yukina is generally speaking a confident girl, there is something about her that prevents her from reading certain social cues, and I suspect it's the same that prevents her from understanding the different kinds of love. Yukina is often seen doing things that either stand out or just makes others around her feel awkward. She herself doesn't feel any of this awkwardness and it's usually done out of complete innocence. Once again, I am no expert, but there is definitely a complexity behind why Yukina is the way she is and a lot of this manga's ultimate question is whether or not Shigure can love and accept her for who she is.
Missions of Love does have a couple more things sprinkled throughout that rub me the wrong way: I can't get my head around when Yukina, Shigure and Akira get intimate at the same time, I wish there would have been more closure to what became of Mami and Akira (I can't say I care what became of Hisame) and what is it with Yukina's breasts?! I love Tōyama's art but can we take a moment to look at how material hangs over breasts - Yukina seems to have rather large ones but it doesn't mean her clothes should stick to her.
Drawing 101:
Here I'm just nitpicking but Yukina's breasts are definitely drawn like the former.
Missions of Love has it's issues - no doubt there. But it's nicely drawn and really brings out what you'd expect from an enemies to lovers plot. For the most of it, it's an enjoyable read and one that you don't put down easily. I'd definitely recommend it to romance lovers who can turn a blind eye to the issues that come with Yukina and Shigure's story.

Non so cosa mi avesse affascinato di questa serie, quando l'ho letta la prima volta. Fioccavano un sacco di stelline all'epoca.
Forse conta il fatto che la sto leggendo seguendo il ritmo di pubblicazione, mentre quando l'ho letta in tedesco avevo diversi volumi a disposizione da leggere tutto d'un fiato.
Ci sono sempre giochi di potere e gente che comincia a provare qualcosa per un'altra persona ma non può dirlo.
I disegni son favolosi come al solito, bisogna ammetterlo. Però sì, dovrei tirar fuori il coraggio e mettermi a leggere tutta la serie in tedesco...

Honestly, when the characters get perverted in their actions, it’s too obvious with the authorial push behind the situations. I know it’s someone MAKING these characters do something rather than an organic extension of who they are and how they would act accordingly.

A bit cliche but still entertaining. I can't wait to see what's next.

I feel so ooooold (kinda).
I spent most of this volume grumbling about how these children need to act like children.
Except Mami
She needed to grow up a bit.
I ship her and Akira though.

Da der Klappentext ziemlich ausführlich zusammenfasst, was im fünften "xx me!" Band passiert, brauch ich darauf ja nicht im Einzelnden eingehen.
Das Cover drückt wieder ein bisschen mehr aus, als die Geschichte hergibt. Es geht nicht um diese Art von körperlicher Zuneigung, auch wenn die Charaktere sich langsam steigern und mehr über das Thema Liebe herausfinden.
Was als Erpressung von Yukina an Shigure begann, entwickelte sich zu einem Machtkampf, wer es eher schafft, dass sich der andere in ihn verliebt. Und durch das kleine Liebesviereck kam auch ordentlich Pfeffer in die Party, denn Yukina wird von ihrem besten Freund und Cousin Akira angehimmelt und Shigure's Sandkastenfreundin versucht ihn auf eine recht intrigante Art für sich zu gewinnen.
Für Yukina's Recherchen scheint es aber nur Shigure zu geben und was eigentlich nur ein Spiel sein sollte, entwickelt immer mehr ernsthafte Herzrasereien und das beste daran ist, dass man mit den Charakteren diesen Gefühlen auf den Grund gehen kann. Die Unbeholfenheit haftet ihnen allen an und es ist irgendwie sehr unterhaltsam und nervenaufreibend gleichermaßen.
Auch wenn Mami als intrigant bezeichnet wird und ihre Aktionen wirklich nicht nett sind, kann ich sie irgendwie nicht hassen. Sie macht stets den freundlichen Eindruck, lächelt immer und das zieht mich mit. Sie ist für mich sehr glaubhaft und fordert Yukina's Naivität heraus, was in der Geschichte so langsam zu einem Wendepunkt führen kann, denn Yukina ist sehr unerfahren, was Freundschaften und Liebe angeht. In Band fünf bröckelt diese Naivität ein wenig und ich bin gespannt, was Toyama noch aus dieser Protagonistin herauskitzelt :)
Für mich ist Akira zu einer Lieblingsperson geworden und deshalb fand ich es schade, dass er in diesem Band nur noch eine kleinere Rolle hatte - was sich nach dem kleinen Cliffhanger aber im nächsten Band wieder zu ändern scheint. Ich hoffe es, denn er erfrischt die Story ein wenig. Wo Yukina kalt und naiv rüberkommt, bringt er Licht und Wärme. Dafür, dass er die Handlung komplizierter macht, ist er selbst als Figur recht unkompliziert. Das gefällt mir irgendwie. Seine Ansichten und Gedanken lassen sich sehr gut nachvollziehen.
Shigure... Was soll ich zu ihm sagen? Ich mag ihn immer noch nicht, aber auch bei ihm ist in diesem Band einiges in Gang gesetzt worden.
Her mit der Fortsetzung!

Synopsis:
A DAY AT THE PARK
Mami invites everyone to the amusement park for fun, thrills, and intrigue. She has devised a plan to make Shigure stay away from Yukina permanently, and it involves a carefully orchestrated ride on the Ferris wheel. They say that any couple who kisses on the ride will be together forever...
My Thoughts:
Mami is determined to get Yukina out of Shigure's life. She sets things up so that Shigure thinks Yukina and Akira are kissing on a ferris wheel so that they can be together forever. It really only seems to upset Shigure. He does confront Yukina about it, but when she tells him that a kiss on the lips should only be shared with the one you love and that she didn't kiss Akira, he calms down a bit.
There's still a lot of unrequited feelings in this manga. Yukina's feelings for Shigure are certainly real, but she just doesn't seem to understand that. She knows her heart beats fast and that her heart aches when she sees Shigure with Mami, but she doesn't seem to equate that with the fact that she's falling in love with Shigure. I like Yukina a lot, but I need her to understand herself better. I really do.
Shigure seems ready to admit his own feelings, at least to himself. I don't think he truly intends on telling Yukina how he feels for her until he knows she's fallen in love with him. Good luck, Shigure. Yukina is dense as hell. You've got to really hang in there.
Akira is determined to wait for Yukina to return his feelings, but I feel like he'll be waiting for quite some time. Still, he does seem determined. I can't decide if I want to root for him or not. He's a really good guy and I think he'd be great to Yukina, but I also think that he needs to be exposed to more girls. I think his love for Yukina really is more than just the love between cousins, but maybe he could feel that way about another girl? At the end of this volume, he seems to have discovered Mami's secret. Not that I think it's much of a secret. Unless it's something besides the fact that she's in love with Shigure. What will Akira do with this information?

There keep being pleasant little surprises in these books, and I love how Yukina-chan is portrayed as having plenty of agency and desire of her own, not just in response to male characters.

~3.5-4/5
Mami is just causing trouble now. She is really trying to work against Yukina, which makes me frustrated and dislike her, and then at one point she does a whole 180 turn and makes me feel a little sorry for her. I mean, she’s going about it the wrong way, but she really only wants to be with Shigure. That doesn’t mean I like her, though.
Yukina was finally starting to catch on near the end, though, given that she was very oblivious before that. I kind of hope that she retaliates, although she does get a little bolder with Shigure.
Akira is still a sweetheart, whom I feel bad for. He really cares for Yukina, a lot, and really only wants her to be happy and safe, and with him. The cliffhanger makes me intrigued, or at least wanting to find out what really is behind Mami’s manipulation.
This series is definitely getting more exciting, and making me want to read more. I’m enjoying the characters, their development, as well as their interactions. The romance is getting quite smutty at this point, and I’m really loving that. I’m looking forward to getting the next volume.

While this installment of Watashi ni xx Shinasai! irked me in some instances, I'd say that this is better than the previous one - seeing that the rating I gave it increased. The reason for my irritation was mostly Yukina; as usual, her stupidity never abated, and unfortunately, it even heightened, if that was even possible. Seriously, what I really hated about this volume the most was that the majority of the characters all seemed so stupid: even Mizuno and Shigure. Although Akira isn't necessarily my favorite character, I feel a bit bad about him. The chapter about that forceful kiss mission was very off-putting.
September 26, 2014
i feel kinda bad for akira. it's like no one's explained to him the weird relationship rules everyone else is playing by. he thinks honestly stating his feelings and not kissing yukina when she doesn't want him to is the way to go and like. sure! in normal people land. but my dear friend you are hanging with people who appear to legitimately think love is like mono: you catch it off kissing. basic emotional intelligence is not the name of the game! bizarrely twisted sex chicken is. 2 stars

Wow, this one had some hot scenes but...i HATE how Shigure acts. He's such a kiss up to Mami, seriously acting like he doesnt know what shes capable of, which I find ridiculous if they've been friends "since childhood". He acts all high and mighty then doesn't care if he hurts Yukina's feelings, but still gets in Akiras way. Ahhhh!

Why does the cover look so slutty? O.o
It isn't relative to the story.
Anyway, this volume was A LOT better than the previous ones. I can see some improvements in the story. yay! :)
