No idea why I'm still reading this but it's kinda addicting. It must be because it's too damn ridiculous. Even for a shoujo manga...

What, not revenge on Mami for tricking her and getting her in trouble at school? Is Yukina nicer than she seems, or just distracted?

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.

Eh, the situations in this series feel prolonged for no reason, and I don’t understand how this manga is 19 volumes long. I already feel a bit bored.

Synopsis:
When Akira helps Yukina recover from a bad cold, she realizes that the two of them share a much deeper connection than she will ever have with Shigure. She tries to further understand that connection so as to win more readers for her novel, but Shigure is not amused.
My Thoughts:
This volume picks right off from where the last one leaves off. Akira does not like the prank Mami pulled on Yukina and he confronts her about it. That and whatever he's discovered about her, which must be her feelings for Shigure. It seems that he tries to help her out. It seems to be working, though not in the way that I think Akira and Mami were expecting.
Meanwhile, Yukina is feeling kind of down. Every time Shigure runs off after Mami and Akira, she feels sad. Of course, she doesn't understand why, so she asks Shigure about it. And when he describes the bond between him and Mami and that he needs to protect her and he really cares about her, it makes Yukina feel down again. She realizes that she doesn't have a bond like that with Shigure, but she does have one with Akira... When Shigure hears that, he doesn't like it at all. Especially since she says it right after he asks her to be his girlfriend. Yukina is so dense she doesn't realize that he's serious. Silly girl... She keeps missing all kinds of opportunities with him.
They do get a little closer, though. In some ways, so do Mami and Akira. Akira tells her that Shigure will never get how she feels unless she tells him and that once he told Yukina how he feels about her, they got closer. Right after Shigure tells Yukina how he plans on making a deeper bond with her, Mami confesses her feelings. What will happen now?! Will Shigure stop doing Yukina's missions and date Mami? What will Yukina do?

Ich finde es sehr schön zu sehen wie sich Ema Toyama in "xx me!" von Band zu Band steigert und die Gefühlspalette stetig wächst. Seit dem ersten Band wo die Hauptperson Yukina das Gefühl der Liebe für ihre Handyromane erkunden möchte, hat sich viel getan und trotzdem ist sie noch sehr ahnungslos. Ihre Missionen, die sie Shigure auferlegt, toppen im sechsten Band wieder alles, angefangen von "Sei mein Krankenpfleger" bis "Küss mich gegen meinen Willen".
Yukina's Charakter rückt in diesem Band auch ein wenig in den Hintergrund, finde ich. Dafür finde ich Akira's Pläne und Mami's Fragilität viel interessanter.
Dieser Band knüpft natürlich am letzten nahtlos an, wo Akira Mami etwas ins Ohr flüstert. Er hat ihre Lügen und Intrigen erkannt und versucht das zu seinem Vorteil zu nutzen. Denn wenn er mehr mit Mami macht, wird Shigure bestimmt unruhig - schließlich fühlt er sich für Mami verantwortlich - und lässt von Yukina ab.
Akira schafft es wirklich, dass Shigure sich ein wenig mehr um Mami kümmert, aber auch Yukina bemerkt die Veränderung und dieses kleine übliche Machtspielchen wechselt wieder ein wenig zwischen ihr und Shigure hin und her. Er sagt etwas, sie tut es ab. Sie sagt etwas, er tut es ab. Das ist zwar spannend für die Handlung, leider aber auch ein wenig nervenaufreibend.
Band sechs bietet außerdem deutlich mehr lustige Momente und ich habe ziemlich oft grinsen müssen.
Diese Vierecksbeziehung wird immer undurchsichtiger und wird sich wohl erst richtig klären, wenn den Charakteren klar ist, dass Liebe kein Spiel ist.
Bis dahin werde ich mit den weiteren Bänden hoffentlich noch ein wenig Spaß haben.

~3.5-4/5
Strangely enough, I’m finding my feelings toward the boys changing. Now, even if I do think it’s not going to happen, I’m leaning toward Akira. I really like him. He’s a sweetheart, and I really like his feelings for Yukina, his insistence and devotion without being pushy. He’s so sweet.
I still think Shigure is the one, though. And I do still like the intensity between him and Yukina. I like where their relationship seems to be heading, how they’re starting to accept their feelings for each other. The cliffhanger in this volume definitely throws a snag in that, but still. However, Shigure is a little too confused and oblivious right now, not noticing what he should. It’s starting to make me want to smack him.
Meanwhile, I’m intrigued by Mami. I’m interested in her, I definitely don’t dislike her, and I feel bad for her. I’m not a huge fan, but I know that things are not looking good for her right now, and I feel bad for her about that.
I’m rather enjoying this series. There’s some drama, some hot scenes; lots of good stuff. I’m looking forward to the next one.

This is a shoujo manga isn't it? But please tell me why the female characters are so damn stupid? I really wasn't much fond of Mizuno, but even she was showing more traces of idiocy. And needless to say, Yukina too (that's a given, is it not?). But I think I'm way too harsh; I still give this three stars because it really made me so excited because the scenes were too sweet. That's what I'm looking for, anyway. I think Yukina and Shigure were making a big deal out of eyeglasses. Like seriously - for me it's way too shallow and they were making it appear very special and all that.

I love how Akira using Mami to get the knuckleheads Yukina and Shigure jealous, though....it was more Shigure. Seems he just doesn't want Akira with anyone lol
He is so dense, but I'm glad Yukina finally noticed Akira's care and kindess. She still yearns for Shigure but now she knowd Akira is special to her too. Mami was still annoying, but with Akiras help it was less annoying lol
More hot teasing too, which nobody hates hahaha

Mami is one of the craziest, psycho jealous side characters I have ever read...seriously. Personally, I think if she is so sickly and is always missing school then she should just stay home and never leave...dying would be okay to at this point. Just saying...

2013 dachte ich, dieser Band vier Sterne verdiente... 2020 bin ich nicht so sicher... Ich würde jetzt wahrscheinlich nur zwei Sterne geben...
