The school festival was nice (until it wasn't), but this volume was mostly build-up and ended with yet another cliffhanger. The cover fucking slaps, though.

[Mika]

Just read it and it didn't feel like 100> pages. It was so addicting and the whole small yashiro thing? Love, just love it. And when Tsukasa did that thing with Yashiro when she couldn't move? Gross and disrespectful. Caught me so off guard. Poor hanako-kun. As always a great volume, excited for the next one!

[Lucy (the invisible life of a reader)]

this whole volume was honestly just build up for what is about to happen. until the end of chapter 104, i can't say something interesting really happened.

[Rebecca]

Oh, Tsukasa, you evil little imp.

[Diana]

these volumes just feel way too short!!! So much exposition for everything’s about to happen 😭

[Reese]

La scena in cui Tsukasa e la piccola Nene cantano Over the Rainbow non me la aspettavo 🥺
Per un attimo Tsukasa è sembrato più umano e meno demoniaco

[Keylen]

[Sheepy]

This school festival has been really good so far and so much more to come in feel!

[⋆｡˚꒰ঌ worm ໒꒱˚｡⋆]

Genuinely what is up with Natsuhiko??? Perhaps it's just because I don't like him as a character, but I do not understand his purpose- is he like the exorcists'? ALSO the second half of the book!!!

[Carlo]

tsukasa yo te amo

[Elsa]

Tsukasa was insane for that😭

[Ana]

the art style is as breathtaking as always, the usage of predominantly black for all the ghosts/“evil” characters and predominantly white for Nene and other main characters is so cool. that is even more prominent because of the harsh lines that the artist uses, it is simply so cool. also, all the backgrounds have sooo much detail, i’m always impressed about all the little things that you can find out and all the different attributes that they give to the extra characters. and the cover for this volume might have become one of my favourites; the bright colors, the facial expression and the background full of different hearts make the cover so attractive.

as for the story, this last arc is so intriguing. i didn’t expect Natsuhiko to actually have such a cool ability. little Nene was a menace lmao i wasn’t expecting to see her as a child but it was entertaining and a change from seeing always just Hanako in his childhood. finally, the ending with the second clock keeper made me so excited for the next volume ✨

[angie]

un festival escolar!!!

[LittleMockingbird]

I love how from a cute story you thought you knew what it was going to be about, we came to this.

[Carlee]

Every manga from this series is amazing! I felt bad for Hanako in this one 😭🥹💔

[julia🪿]

give me the next one NOOWWW I NEED IT NOWWW

[Rex Inanis]

I love this so much, even though it's something like a filler volume! I kind of like the slow pace and the build up that's going on. I can enjoy the characters a little longer this way, before this manga actually comes to an end.

// CONTENT SPOILER WARNING //

Natsuhiko is growing on me lately. At very first I thought he was an annoying side character, but he actually is really fun and cool?? The origami swan thingy was super interesting, especially the teasing way he's treating Teru made the whole scene perfect.

Now that we're getting closer to the end of the series, some big secrets are being unveiled. With that I mean we get to know who Sakura is (kind of), we get to examine the clock and Sakura's motives are slowly clearing up. I'm eating all of this information up, even though it makes me a bit sad knowing that all of this is leading to the finale.

Kou and Mitsuba being blatantly gay also had to be part of this volume, obligatory by now.

The Teru palace caught be me off guard bro. I was laughing so hard. Especially later on when Tiara had those Teru plushies in her hand - what kind of SCHOOL festival stall is that?!? Tiara was super cute in general. As well as Mirai. I'm mad about the cliffhanger as always, but oh well...

Nene and Tsukasa singing nearly made me tear up. It made Tsukasa seem so human and this fragile side of him is so precious. I hope we get to see some more genuine scenes of him...

Overall a very fun volume as always, although I'm looking forwards to more stuff happening next volume!

EDIT: I NEARLY FORGOT TO MENTION THAT TSUKASA KISSED NENE WTF. That was seriously messed up and wrong. Poor Hanako couldn't move to protect Nene. Him crying is so valid man...

[Natalie]

I really do love a school festival…even though they always seem to go wrong in this series 😂

This volume was primarily set up for what will likely be a much bigger confrontation in the next volume. As always, Tsukasa is scheming in the background with his two helpers and just creating chaos wherever he goes. The truly foul thing Tsukasa did in this volume, however, was kiss Yashiro while she was frozen in time! Absolutely rude and unnecessary. Even poor Hanako ends up crying about it 😩 Only for foul Teru to make fun of him for it! (If Teru has no haters, I’m dead. Can’t stand that boy!)

It was fun, however, to see Yashiro turn into a little girl! She had tantrums and everything 😂 Tsukasa had no idea what to do with her and her irrational kid brain. I had a blast with that, ngl.

The domain of the Clock Keepers in general is really cool, so I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more of it in the next volume!

P.S. It really broke my heart to see Mitsuba’s mom, though, because Mitsuba is no longer attached to the memories of his human life…so he’s curious about her, but she’s not truly meaningful to him 😭 my poor heart

4.5 stars
Das war ein ganz schön überwältigender, emotionaler und spannender Band. Nicht nur kommt ans Licht, das die Gegener mit der Uhr vorhaben und was sie dafür in Kauf nehmen, um ihr Ziel zu erreichen. Tsukasa provoziert auch Hanako erneut und am Ende landet auch Nene wegen ihm in einer scheinbar prekären Lage. Hoffentlich treffen Akane, Teru und Hanako rechtzeitig ein, denn ansonsten könnte auf Nene ungewollt eine ganz schönes Schlamassel zukommen. Wenigstens haben wir als Lesende aber Hanakos Gefühle für Nene erneut bestätigt bekommen, bedingt durch seine Reaktion. Ich frage mich aber schon, wie das gut ausgehen kann jetzt und gleichzeitig bin ich unsicher, wie lange diese Story sich noch halten kann. Ich denke, es wäre in gewisser Weise für den Spannungsbogen und auch, dass sich die Handlungen nicht zu sehr wiederholen gut, wenn es bald zum finalen Klimax kommt. Andererseits müssen wir auch noch Hanako und seine Hintergrundgeschichte besser kennenlernen … bin gespannt, wie sich das weiterentwickelt.
