October 30, 2024I forgot how absolutely wild this series gets. Funny haha manga gets random dark moments then back to funny haha. I don't want to spoil it, be aware the author goes off the rails for the backstory of a character in a manga about gender bendy basketball hijinks.

Cerita Yura ternyata sangat gelap. Dia punya ingatan fotografis. Itu membuatnya jadi genius. Namun, akibatnya dia sering di-bully. Saat SMP, ada teman setim basketnya yang menolongnya dari perundungan. Yura pun percaya dan berteman dengannya. Namun, ternyata temannya itu hanya pura-pura baik padanya agar bisa memanfaatkannya. Yura tak sengaja menguping pengakuan ini. Yura lalu memberi "temannya" ini jus yang diberi sedikit racun. Mengira dirinya akan mati, "teman" itu pun mengakui segalanya di depan Yura. Karena itulah kini Yura tak mau lagi percaya kepada siapa pun.
Chiharu salah paham pada Kyo. Ia mengira Kyo lebih suka bergaul dengan Yura. Ia pun menolak bicara dengan Kyo dan bahkan pindah kamar meski harus sekamar dengan anak dari klub lain.
Ketika Yura dirundung oleh teman setimnya, akhirnya Kyo menyaksikan sendiri betapa mengerikannya amarah Yura. Anak itu menghajar tiga orang sendirian. Setelah semua lawannya tumbang, Yura bertanya pada Kyo: "Ini semua salah mereka, kan?"

According to the reviews I didn't think I'd like this issue, but it ended up not being half bad. I think I'll end up checking the other 5 books in the series out at the library and finish this series. I didn't know it was only 10 books long - that's a doable amount. Plus at this point I'm vested into the main characters to see what ends up happening with them.

HELLO YES I AM HERE FOR YURA. This boy has ~issues~ and I wanna see all of them.
The fight between Kyo and Eniwa is really annoying tho, god. Haven't we been through this before? Just COMMUNICATE I'm gonna punch a wall.

Hilarious. I’d recommend more for comedy and gender/identity shenanigans than romance.

Hello, everyone and welcome back to Katie’s Corner! Today I have another work by Seino Shizuru. The first one I covered was Love Attack and you can find the review on my blog. I’ll be covering 2 more works, but that’s for future. However, let me tell you one thing that I have found out about Seino Shizuru’s works. All of them or mostly all of them are linked. If we take this one as a core, then its spin off is Love Attack and that has a sequel of its own, and after comes another spin off from Love Attack. I’ll read and find out how Heaven foes into my theory, but I’ll think about when I read.
But let me return to the story. I liked it, but it wasn’t something unique. It reminded me of Rumored Midori-kun by go Ikeyamada, though the circumstances of the female leads were totally different.as I already mentioned the story is not all that unique, a girl has to cross-dress because her dad wants her to become a basketball player. The story started very well, but I somehow lost the thread because the it somehow lacked something. If you ask me it just plain lacked romance in every of its essence. However, I would have been fine with that if the story took a different pace, but even in that section it disappointed me. There were no “Big” or major games and such stories at least need those to justify themselves. But let me stop with all of the things that disappointed me and focus on something good.
Well… I wanted to say humor, but in that Ikeyamada-sensei bested this story. I guess I liked it enough to finish it and have some positive emotions at the end. The story does radiate good feelings and makes you like the easy going character. There are some characters that are broken and have a bad past, but in the end they do come to the “good side”. If you are a fan of basketball, some dormitory school life, and cross-dressing than this story is for you. Have fun reading and don’t forget to share your thoughts below. Stay tuned for more reviews as well as promos. Don’t miss your next favourite book or manga! Happy reading!

yura has such a dark twisted past it really brings things into perspective. time and again in animes and mangas i feel as if im a witness to the extent of human cruelty - how twisted we can be - how we can psychologically break a person down....leading them to destruction. and you know its the littlest remarks we make so carelessly which can start it off...

I loved the dark twist in this volume! I love that this series isn't overly fluffy and takes a turn for the dark in the volume. Felt like I was pushed into reality. Yes, it was unsettling, but I LOVE reading this manga. So many sides and layers to it. :)

Got soo interesting I already read through it....

I'm not a big fan of the Yura plotline, but I do like his character enough to put up with it.
He doesn't replace Chiharu though!
4/5

This volume was a little less interesting. It is worth reading if you plan to continue the series but it is not as packed with entertainment.

Di sini diceritakan kenapa Yura jadi seperti itu (kejamnya). :"
Ah, Yuraaa~
Tapi kasihan juga.
