This volume changed my opinion of this series from "meh" to "really? wtf?" Romantic farce is one thing, but ludicrous dramatics? No thank you. I'm out.

[Natalie S · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bit of an unbelievable storyline.. but still fun.

[Tib · Rating 3 out of 5]

This got overly serious and dramatic for no reason. Gotta love early 2000s shojo 😂

WTF. That got hella dramatic so fast… I thought I was watching a lifetime movie

[Liza · Rating 1 out of 5]

Yeah, uh no.

This is a comedy, it shouldn't have crazy levels of drama like this. Also, no, you do not be friends with the person that drugs you and tries to blow you up.

[Megan Krogh · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yoooooo. Yura is fucking PPSSYYYYYCCHHOOOO (that says psycho if you couldn't read that) I would not be his friend, I don't care how sad his life is. He fucking crazy.

This is literally me the entire book:



And this is me thinking about Yura:



Although, I am happy Eniwa finally came back into the picture. I Iove him and also laugh when he and Kyo bicker back and forth. I hated in the last book we hardly heard from him. Oh well, at least he's back again.

[Christine B · Rating 2 out of 5]

I do not understand why the author suddenly changed the purpose of the book with Yura. He simply does not fit and is taking all the attention on himself. This volume was pretty boring and seemed to add drama (and not the good kind) for no reason. The only thing that saved this volume was the end. It was very well done and moved the series along the lines it originally was again. Worth reading for the ending!

[Kereesa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yura goes nuts in this volume. REALLY REALLY BLOW-EVERYONE-UP-WHAT-DOES-THIS-HAVE-TO-DO-WITH-THE-STORYLINE NUTS

And the rest of us wonder...does this series ever go back to being about basketball?

Or was it never about basketball to begin with?

The mysteries of GIRL GOT GAME!

3.5-4/5

This got weird.

[Harumichi Mizuki · Rating 2 out of 5]

What's with Japanese's glorification of the power of friendship? Kalau pas masih remaja mungkin buatku cerita Kyo dan Yura ini keren sekali. Tapi kalau sekarang? BLEH!!!

Kyo rela dipukuli teman-teman setim basketnya agar mereka tak lagi mengganggu Yura. Chiharu menjenguk Kyo dan malah bilang kalau Yura boleh memakai tempat tidurnya yang kosong di kamar Kyo. Kyo pun berteriak, "Memangnya yang milih Yura siapa?!" Begonya hal itu kedengaran Yura, dong. Kepercayaan Yura pada Kyo pun runtuh.

Kyo berusaha membuat Yura percaya lagi padanya. Yura malah membuat Kyo pingsan dan membawanya ke sebuah gedung tua, lalu menaruh bom agar mati bersama. Chiharu yang melihat Kyo diculik berusaha mengejar mereka. Hamaya menemukan arah menuju Kyo dengan bantuan... dua batang sedotan. Kepercayaan Jepang kuno menggunakan dua batang tongkat kecil yang bengkok untuk menentukan arah demi menemukan air maupun roh. BWAHAHAHA comedic story needs comedic solution.

Pada akhirnya Chiharu berusaha menerobos gedung yang terbakar demi menyelamatkan Yura dan Kyo. Tapi waktu diselamatkan, Yura malah menolak dan lari menuju api. Edan. Pada akhirnya mereka bertiga menyelamatkan diri dengan lari menuju atap dan lompat ke bawah sebelum gedung meledak seluruhnya.

Now. Tentu saja ada batasan dalam menolerir perbuatan teman, mau sedekat apa pun kita dengannya. Dan perbuatan kriminal jelas enggak termasuk di dalamnya! Pengalamanku membuktikan bahwa orang brengsek enggak akan berubah jadi baik hanya karena engkau baik dan bahkan berkorban untuknya. Perbuatan Yura yang sudah termasuk penculikan dan percobaan pembunuhan jelas seharusnya ditangani dengan melibatkan polisi. Peduli setan ama janji. Wong yang nerima janji enggak tahu diri, kok.

This one went dark. It dealt with students attempting suicide. I did not particularly care for this volume, but am continuing the series as now I just want to see how it ends. Hopefully it goes back to a more cheerful note in the next book.

[Francine · Rating 1 out of 5]

What is even happening anymore?? Where's the basketball?????

Feels like the mangaka was getting bored with this romcom sports manga and just dumped a thriller drama in there to spice things up for herself, but sweetie. That's a bit rude to the reader innit.

[Emmers]

Y'ALL!
I forgot how absolute OFF THE RAILS this gets. This was Seino's first manga and girlypop really said we are going to go full drama in the *checks notes* silly hahaha gender bendy manga. I am talking attempted murder suicide as;ldfj;lsdjf so ridiculous

[Scarleth · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ahhhhh!!!! este volumen se puso muy loco!! Por qué la trama cambió tanto???? Esto está muy emocionante!

[Nav · Rating 4 out of 5]

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

[GG · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wtfff is happening not Yura trying to kill Aizawa to prove his friendship 💀💀💀I do love some good plot lines that only work in a manga world and would be so psychotic irl

[Minty-chan~ · Rating 3 out of 5]

a sweet way to end this volume i must say! OMG! just hurry up and get together! although it is funny to see you both squirm muwahahaha!.....oh god i think im sexually fusterated....oops i mean frustrated- no wait i mean i wanna be in love!!! oh fuck it....

[Sylvia]

Even though I don't like sports, this is one of my favorite manga series to read.

[Chelsea · Rating 5 out of 5]

This volume was so good! It did a great job of explaining Yura's character better and why he is the way he is. I look forward to seeing how things go in the next volume.

[Eka Masih SMA · Rating 1 out of 5]
