Winter vacation arrives and that means it’s time for Christmas dates and shrine visits and everything else we associate with the season. But will any of the other potential couples step up to the plate?
It still amazes me that this was not only in Shonen Jump, but that it was successfully in it for some time. This is the perfect amount of sweetness without turning cloying. I love the melodrama of good shojo, but these kids get the balance just right for romance.
Which doesn’t leave me much to say except pointing out some highlights. There is nothing more enjoyable to me than when this story focuses on Azuma and Taira. The way her friends lay into Azuma’s terrible taste in men at the start is more than just a way to show that she and Taira belong together.
No, Azuma’s entire attitude towards guys and attention is really obviously what leads her into the awful relationships she keeps lamenting. It’s also problematic when Taira digs into his own past and his woefully low self-esteem. These two are literally keeping themselves apart.
But problems were made to be overcome (hopefully). Needless to say, there’s at least one moment this volume between them that made me very, very happy.
There are a few other instances of just pushing things along until later - one first kiss and a confession both spring to mind - but I will actually allow it because of how incredibly charismatic this whole cast is.
Even if I don’t remember every name, I can tell you pretty much everybody’s whole personality and their particulars even having not read a volume since the last release. That means this story is, to me, just that good.
It says a lot that the main pairing is not my favorite part, but they’re completely awesome anyway. The way that Tani and Suzuki think about one another is very, very sweet and has a great balance between romance and hormones. That little moment with the snowfall is terribly cute.
There’s also the dialogue, which has a ring of truth to it, focused on kids being kids, yet with the hints of adulthood and maturity slowly beginning to creep into the mix. I guarantee I have had that conversation between Tani and Suzuki about the baguette with my wife.
Even better, it doesn’t neglect regular friendship or anything else. The way the guys are there for Taira or the girls make sure to plan to hang out are just some of the little things that add up to such a great big picture. It’s low-stakes, in one sense, but to this cast it’s clearly high stakes and that comes through. It’s very clever.
5 stars - there’s no part of this I would change and absolutely nothing I didn’t enjoy. If that doesn’t make for a perfect volume of manga, I’m not sure what does.

要約男女朋友來家裡
還要先問過家長同意
我實在太喜歡這種平實風格了!!

Moníssims tots i una relació protagonista d'allò més madura per tenir només 17 anys en què la comunicació és essencial ♥️ els secundaris també van fent a poc a poc i bona lletra :3

I AM OBSESSED.
Seriously though I love this story so much. Give me everything. I'm also really starting to enjoy Taira with whom I struggled with at first. The stories are just pulling on my heart strings and I cannot wait for more.
I'm so sad that this is coming to an end soon. I just found myself rereading certain parts because they just made me smile so much.

I love everyone's awkwardness in this vol so damn much!
Taira was a character I wasn't that fond of, but with each chapter I really feel like I'm rooting for him more and more. He's been so, so hurt and I feel like he's feeling growing pains worse than everybody else. I hope he can be happy and supported and feel content and confident! I really like watching him grow!

How is this seriously this cute? I love it. They are so cute and a little awkward but so honest and kind to one another. The art is cute as well. I am here for our second couple becoming official, I need that ASAP. The third one, I am hopeful in growth feeling good and comfortable with themselves. And our main couple, crushing it as always! SO SWEEEETTTTTTT.

OMG!!! Suzuki and Tani are so cute together!
OMG!!! Nishi and Yamada are so cute together!
OMG!!! Azuma and Taira need to admit that they like each other already… it at least they need to find some middle ground where they’re not super awkward.
This series has 8 volumes.

I love how lots of characters are getting to shine, not just Suzuki and Tani (though I love those two as well). I really like how the story shows a bunch of kids being realistic kids, not just shoving people together and saying, “Fall in love now.”

Another cute addition to the series and I see that things are coming to a head for certain characters that I’m excited to see how it pans out in the next volume.
