Kyotaro’s broken arm means that he can’t exactly do a lot of what he’s used to, but Anna is more than willing to use that chance to get a little closer to him. But Kyotaro and Anna have one unfortunate thing in common and it’ll take some growing up if they’re ever going to get past it…
The aww-inspiring antics of Anna and Kyotaro continue and, while they aren’t making a lot of movement this volume, we know where this is eventually going. It’s really just a question of how much they’ll screw it up on the way there.
Being open with people brings the possibility of hurting and being hurt. That’s just a fact of life, but dealing with that while you’re young and accruing a pile of hormones that will slowly drown you in other thoughts besides what’s for lunch is not easy.
And it’s clear that Anna is more physically developed than Kyotaro, but the extent of this becomes slightly more obvious this volume when his voice starts changing. It’s a perfect use of puberty as a storytelling device, but also something that so many manga could have used that I’m shocked this is the first time I’m seeing it.
This story has thrived on dealing with complicated emotional immaturity by showing how that can eventually grow to something like maturity and it’s why this manga is so captivating. There’s been a real, painful progression over time, especially with Kyotaro. His turn from not liking Anna to liking her so much that he thinks he’s not good enough has been well portrayed.
Yes, it is full of cringe, but it’s cringe that shows two people falling in love who can’t quite put themselves out there to let it happen. Anna is scared to death of the people who love her no longer doing so, but Kyotaro can barely handle the idea of putting himself out there. The number of times he bottles what he wants to say because he hates himself is depressingly believable.
And there are also the messy social mores and the fact that Anna and Kyotaro occupy very different spheres. Which means absolutely nothing to Anna, but Kyotaro is acutely aware of constantly. None of which also takes into account the dreaded blending of the genders - this has one of the most awkward chocolate baking scenes in manga history.
It’s a good, fun time. There’s a lot of cringe (there’s that word again!) this volume and Anna gets hurt again and is really obvious again and Kyotaro is accidentally hurtful and apologizes and all the dramatic stuff you’d want from this ongoing train wreck.
Moeko turns out to be exactly the wingperson that Kyotaro needs, but even her shrewdness only goes so far when Kyotaro’s second visit to Anna’s house goes from awkward to more awkward to absolutely super awkward because a little white lie to save the day only saves the day if people know it’s a lie. The way Kyotaro occasionally steps up really makes his character so much more than he started as.
I guess the big downfall here is that the movement remains very, very slow on the dating front. There’s a certain sameness to this, which bugged me enough to prompt a second skim through the pages, but this gets the balance of heartfelt to teenagers being dumb (I’d love to throw Adachi through the wall) and the agony of adolescence pretty much bang on, even with the occasional focus on literal boobery.
5 stars - know how I can tell when I like a book? When I have stuff to say about the characters and am not reliant on hashing out what was good about plot points. These two are a messy pair that it’s hard not to want the best for and that’s a good story right there.

This Manga series is a sweet take on juvenile love, how it’s not so different from the love we carry into adulthood. It’s funny and a nice awkward twist from the usual tropes seen in young love mangas. Excited to read part 6, July 18th!

I love this series. The two MCs are fantastic. Seeing them grow, mature, and develop is a treat. Yes, it is a bit campy at times but it also feels very real and genuine at other times. The humor also hits very hard at times. I laughed out loud on several occasions with this one.

OMFG this is megacute.
From going to her home, to admitting when he made a mistake, to not wanting to lie, to meeting parents, this volume is so dang cute. Helps I'm watching the anime with the wife and we're having so much fun. I NEED MORE!

it has its ups and downs but overall keeps on being light-hearted for the most part, which i love. also, i've started loving ichikawa, even if he's a failure for most of the volume.

Contrairement à ce que je pensais, l’histoire ne tourne pas du tout en rond. On ne se lasse pas de notre lecture et j’apprécié vraiment ce point là en tout cas. C’était vraiment une crainte que j’avais au début avec les premiers tomes mais ce n’est pas le cas et c’est tant mieux! Plus on avance dans l’histoire, plus la relation entre les deux évolue et surtout plus ça devient intéressant. J’ai déjà hâte de découvrir ce que la suite nous réserve, je sens que ça va être palpitant en tout cas!
Dans ce cinquième tome, après les différents incidents survenus lors des vacances d’hiver, voici que commence le 3e trimestre ! Déstabilisés par leurs rapprochements et les changements d’environnement, Ichikawa et Yamada n’en continuent pas moins de progresser sur le chemin de la maturité.
On continue d’avancer dans la relation entre Yamada et Ichikawa. Doucement mais surement comme on dit. Tout ça s’intensifie au fur et à mesure qu’on découvre les tomes. J’ai trouvé que dans ce tome, ça avait encore une fois, franchit un cap. Ichikawa a clairement avoué à lui même mais aussi à sa soeur qu’il voulait avoir une relation avec Yamada. Mais il m’a fait de la peine en réalité. Il se dévalorise tellement, il a l’impression qu’il n’y a aucun avenir possible entre elle et lui et ça m’a fait de la peine je dois bien avouer. Par contre maintenant je n’ai qu’une envie c’est de les secouer les deux! Tout le monde le remarque qu’ils ont des sentiments l’un pour l’autre, même la mère de Yamada l’a remarqué mais cette dernière ne semble rien comprendre on dirait! Tellement hâte qu’elle s’ouvre un peu plus et qu’on découvre le fond de sa pensée mais aussi la puissance de ses sentiments. Dans ce tome on découvre le père de Yamada et pardon mais il est terrifiant ce monsieur! Bon quand on le découvre un peu plus on se rend compte qu’il n’est pas méchant mais son apparence est vraiment terrifiante en tout cas!
Un cinquième tome aussi bon que les précédents. Je suis contente d’avoir pu enchaîner les cinq tomes les uns après les autres, c’était chouette. J’adore cette histoire, j’ai très envie de voir l’adaptation en anime en tout cas. Hâte de voir tout ça à l’écran. Plus j’avance dans l’histoire plus je m’attache aux personnages, ils sont vraiment super adorables je trouve. Et j’ai très hâte d’avoir le prochain tome maintenant!

เรื่องนี้เป็น Slow burn romance ที่ดีต่อใจมาก ไม่ช้าหรือเร็วเกินไป เคมีระหว่างพระ-นางดูเป็นธรรมชาติ เหมือนได้เฝ้ามองเด็กสองคนที่ไม่ประสีประสาเรื่องความรักค่อยๆขยับเข้าหากัน เติบโตขึ้นไปด้วยกัน ดีงามมากอะ ยกให้เป็นมังงะแนวรอม-คอมในดวงใจอีกเรื่อง โดยเฉพาะเล่ม 5 นี้อ่านไปยิ้มแก้มปริทั้งเล่ม

Aww, this is just adorable. I love them slowly getting closer to each other; also really makes me glad to not be a teenager anymore. :)

The relationship development in this series moves at a clip, and I like that a lot. It’s cute

They make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when she clumsily wants to take care of him; when awkward misunderstandings arise. Some scenes, however, are not always easy to understand.
