I continue to absolutely love this series, with this volume being so so so wonderful!

I cannot get over how smitten these two are, especially Sena! When they went on their date, and we see two passersby's thoughts on how smitten he is, I could not help but agree because YES! I know I definitely was squealing a lot because of it!!

Truly, these two are so very wonderful, and I wish I could say more, but I worry I will go into spoilers?

I guess I COULD say that I LOVED the beginning because of a sports match in my shoujo?! YES PLEASE!! (Sena looked SO cool and could understand how Aoi felt!)

I also really like how Sena can see that Aoi is slowly working up to being able to say they are in a relationship! He's been SO supportive, and it deeply warms my heart to see, especially when Aoi shares later how she likes how she can be herself! We truly love to see it!

There were LOTS of very sweet kisses, and I couldn't help but get giddy over all the sweet, intimate moments!

EAGERLY looking forward to the next volume because I have no doubts I'm going to love it just as much as I've loved this volume AND the previous volumes!

The issue with doing the pedestrian well is that you run the risk of being pedestrian, even at your best. As much as I liked the last volume of this series, I have to admit that this one didn’t leave a big impact.

A lot of this volume covers traditional dating stumbles, with Aoi being apart from Sena for long stretches due to his basketball practice, and then the student populace getting wind of Sena having a girlfriend at all and the hunt for the truth of who it is.

I’m not saying this is bad. I still like Aoi a bunch, even if she is a little too down on herself still. She and Sena have a reasonably good relationship and they definitely don’t lack for physical affection.

The way they hide out in the stairwell to get a little time together feels like something a new couple would do. They have a particularly sweet date as well, though Aoi’s glow-up could probably be a touch more pronounced.

Aoi’s friends are still great at being there for her, and we’re still waiting for the next overboard declaration from Itsuki in his pursuit of Koto. It’s not like any of this isn’t working as a shojo story.

Still, it feels a bit less than last time. The ‘who are you dating’ gossip is a bit of a dull plotline, plus the resolution at the end where Sena stands up for Aoi feels utterly unbelievable and kind of corny. It’s part and parcel with the confession from last time, but it fell flat for me.

I guess it’s not that it’s doing anything wrong, but what it does right isn’t as good. It’s still mostly well written and charmingly old-school at times, but I just felt the lack of a little oomph to make it really stand out. Good main couple, but there’s very little friction of any sort and not enough charm to cover the gaps.

3.5 stars - I’ll round it up because I respect what it’s up to, but it’s very close to not getting it this time. Just a little more basic than I like from this and a touch dull.

Són moníssims i m'encanta que la noia mantingui la seva personalitat, cosa que no sempre passa en els shojo. La prota és tímida, insegura i li agrada passar desapercebuda, amb la qual cosa és un repte sortir amb el jugador de bàsquet més popular del seu curs, però són taaaan cuquis!!! ❤️ Aquesta sèrie és un retrat superentranyable del primer amor d'institut!!! En el seu dia vaig escriure: Últimament, l'algoritme de Twitter em mostra uns comptes que fan unes recomanacions de shojosei 100% ON POINT ♥ Aquesta sèrie és la típica història d'amor d'institut entre una noia molt introvertida i poc sociable que té un germà estrella del bàsquet i un any més gran ben popular. A més la mare és mangaka de shojo d'èxit i a la família són força cursis i romàntics, però la noia no viu bé estar a l'ombra de dues persones tan talentoses... El germà i un company de l'equip de bàsquet de la mateixa classe que la germana decideixen ajudar-la a tenir més confiança en ella mateixa i l'animen a buscar xicot (mmmm well...). Sorpresa, sorpresa apareixen feelings inesperadament Molt cuqui!!!

So much cuteness in this volume that I couldn't contain my giddiness. Aoi and Sena are the cutest and we get more development in this volume. Excited for the next volume.

4.5 stars. This volume was squee inducing, leg-kicking cuteness. They are so adorable together. This creator does such a good job at slow developments and beats in the romance, I'd be happy to have another volume just like this.

This volume was pure molasses… so sweet. Honestly, I had such a good time reading it.

There’s very little to complain about here, even though there isn’t anything particularly new. We get many of the familiar shoujo elements: missing your boyfriend because your schedules don’t align, the anticipation and nerves before a first date, the classic “I need new clothes for this,” that slightly awkward moment when you first see each other, and of course the usual progression of restaurant, cinema, and so on. At least we were spared the aquarium or theme park this time. Instead, we got something refreshingly simple and charming: a stationery shop. And really, who doesn’t love a stationery shop?

What surprised me most is that, even though the volume follows such familiar beats, it still works incredibly well. That is mainly because Sena and Aoi are just so endearing. Their dynamic feels natural and heartfelt, and the moments they share are what truly make the story shine. It’s the kind of sweetness that never feels forced, just genuine and easy to enjoy.

I also really appreciated Itsuki in this volume. As usual, he brings a bit of comedic energy, but this time we also see a deeper side of him. When he steps in to deal with other students meddling where they have no place, the moment really stands out. He protects both his sister and his best friend, not by showing off, but by putting himself in a position where he could be judged or misunderstood. That willingness to make himself vulnerable made the scene especially impactful.

And honestly, yes to siblings like that. You might argue, clash, and be completely different people, but at the end of the day, no one else gets to mess with them but you.

Overall, this was a warm, comforting read that leans fully into what the series does best. Even if it follows a somewhat predictable path, it remains enjoyable because of how well the characters are written. As long as they continue to grow, I have no problem with the slower pace.

Keep them coming!

Sto usando questi giorni di ferie per cercare di uscire dal blocco del lettore che non mi abbandona da inizio anno. Siccome non voglio rischiare di fermarmi ancora, sto provando ad andare per gradi, puntando prima sul recupero delle numerose serie manga che nel frattempo si sono accumulate 😱
I primi volumi di "Diary of a Female Lead" li avevo letti lo scorso anno: mi era sembrata una storia molto carina e tranquilla, non il massimo in termini di originalità, però ho letto di peggio. Adesso che ho recuperato il volume 5 mi sento di confermare quella prima opinione iniziale - in certi momenti si raggiungono livelli di dolcezza da diabete 🤣, però la storia continua ad essere piacevole. Non siamo ai livelli di "Credimi , è amore", perché lì il percorso di crescita di Risa è decisamente più profondo e molto meglio strutturato, però diciamo che anche Aoi sta cercando di uscire dal suo guscio. Adesso l'obiettivo è riuscire a rendere pubblica la sua relazione con Sena (a parte che la gente potrebbe pure farsi una carrettata di cazzi propri, eh) senza andare in iperventilazione. Vabbè, baby steps e andrà tutto bene.

This series goes from okay to good to me for the most part. But this volume was perfect. We got a supportive friend group, she is pushing herself socially for herself but for him too, he is so accepting of her shyness, and I like her brother and her mom. Their date was cute and her friend outing to get ready for it was perfect too. I hope it keeps being so cute!!!

The art isn't bad but its not my fav flowery shoujo art.

Ahhh I reread this and had to change my review… I love this series. I relate to Aoi, being shy with affection..especially in front of others. I love that Sena loves that only he gets to see that side of her.
