I thought this sequel was only about Kusakabe and Sajou, but turned out there was a story about another couple (whom I don't really know who they are because I haven't read their stories yet) as well. Only reading my soft bois' parts tho, so this rating only stand for that.

Me gusta mucho esta historia.
En este tomo vemos como es la relación de Sajô y Kusakabe, este último ha mantenido su promesa de visitarlo y también vemos que Sajô es un poco más desenvuelto pues ha hecho ambos y habla abiertamente de su relación.
Me sorprendió la historia de Komatsu, ojalá y el también encontrará un verdadero amor.
Hibiki es una fuente de coraje para Arisaka, como saldrá su reunión ?

Continuación (si puede llamarse) de "En la misma clase" con algún personaje nuevo. Debería haberme leído los primeros capítulos en internet para saber que toda la trama son capítulos extra sin relevancia, espero que en el segundo tomo sí haya para conectar con "Blanco" al menos... :/
(No me leí el último capítulo porque implicaba un profesor f*llandose a un alumno menor de edad, de verdad, qué manía la de esta autora).

(This review is about both OB 1 and OB 2 because I got them as a 2 in 1 volume)
This manga really is the perfect encapsulatipn of Nakamura as an author. She's manages to write Sajo and Kusakabe, probably my favourite romance in manga, to be so tender and sweet but with some realistic tensions and incompatibilities they have to work through. Then I turn the page to read one of the messiest "romances" I've read in a while. She really seems to only be able to write fucked up relationships with the aforementioned couple as the sole exception. This choice works great for works like Utsubora, which is about shitty people who fuck each other over but are interesting characters. It does not really fit in here, though, where three of the four stories are framed as romances with a somewhat happy ending when two of those romances are teacher/student relationships that are real iffy. I'm all for reading about a miserable middle-aged gay man finding love later in life, but not so much if he finds that love in a 16-year-old kid, even if they do hold off on sex until said kid is no longer underage. Literal grooming framed as a romance where the teacher in the end does deserve love and acceptance is not my favourite... The way she equates being accepted as gay and being accepted as an old man who dates teenagers is also pretty icky. Like... there is probably more emphasis on the gender of the partner than on their age when these men worry about whether or not to tell their families.
The art is still beautiful and I'd probably read anything Nakamura puts out just for that but it's not for everyone.
If you liked Doukyuusei, I do still recommend you pick this one up because the Sajo/Hikaru chapters are still really sweet, but it's definitely not a must-read and can easily be skipped. I read Blanc (volume 6) before this one no problem and that one is a lot better, mainly because of way less Hara screentime but also because it has more of a story.

"Aunque tengamos dificultades, voy a hacer todo lo posible para estar a tu lado. Aunque nuestra relación sea inmoral, déjame estar en tu vida, al menos un día más. Aunque todo el mundo arda y no sepamos que va a suceder a futuro, por favor, no sueltes jamás mi mano."
Continuamos con el desarrollo de algunas de las parejas que han sido presentadas a lo largo de los tomos anteriores mediante esta recopilación de mini historias del día a día de los personajes. En este caso, se deja un poco a la pareja principal y nos centramos más en personajes secundarios importantes tales como Hara, el profesor de este o los nuevos amigos de Sajo.
Y es que aunque parezca que no van a tener nada que aportar a la trama, Asumiko Nakamura nos da con un canto en los dientes al usar el formato de mini historias para contar más cosas de los personajes que conocemos y presentar nuevos. Y consigue todo esto mientras mantiene el carácter cuki y realista de la obra.
También se mantiene el ritmo de la obra, lento pero constante, donde lo importante es la evolución tanto como pareja como personal, plantando un poco las bases para construir de manera amena y realista el futuro de todos ellos. Esto no quiere decir que este tomo no intente añadir algo de drama, pero como siempre, el tipo de dificultad que presenta es una dura realidad, y el desenlace a la misma se hace de forma madura y con sentido común, algo que en este tipo de obras brilla bastante por su ausencia.
No soy muy fan del formato historietas, pero en este tomo me ha convencido, y seguramente opine lo mismo del segundo tomo de esta parte de En la misma clase, obra que ya se está convirtiendo en uno de mis mangas favoritos.

Although this volume features a lot couples other than Kusakabe and Sajo (main reason why I even bought it), I didn't find myself hating it. To my knowledge, these couples were new characters, and their stories were incredibly interesting and really portrayed the struggles of being in a gay romantic relationship.
(Also, can we talk about Kusakabe and Sajo's cuteness in this volume?!!) I really enjoyed how the author portrayed every aspect/possible situation when being in a relationship (hookups, divorces with kids, minimal time for a partner, the stress, etc.). The struggles, the happiness, the ups and downs, the letting go---every story in this volume showed it. What made it even better was the characters struggles with coming to terms with who they are, what they want, or being gay and decide how that was going to determine THEIR future and the future of their relationship. Was it going to end? Were they going to make it work?
Overall this volume portrayed love of all kinds, how being in a romantic relationship affected the characters each in their own way, how it bettered or worsened them as a person, and I loved it ❤️
Let's forget about the teacher though.

Despite really not enjoying the last book (I just can’t with the student-teacher thing), I found it in myself to pick up this one. Thankfully Haru and Sora feature much less frequently in this book, and although I still don’t like them because of how they started (I’m sorry, but a teacher getting into a relationship with a student, even an ex-student, gives me the absolute ick) at least this time round everyone was appropriately aged - age gap itself doesn’t bother me, but I do feel that any age gap story should be between consenting adults at least.
Luckily the focus was more on Hikaru and Rihito this time, who - let’s be honest - are the reason I’m following this story at all. Glad to see them back and hoping the following books continue to keep the focus on them.

I'm surprised that Sajou let in Kinosaki and Miyamura with his relationship with Kusakabe.
The dynamic between Kusakabe and Sajou makes my heart hurt. I LOVE THEM.
These chapters with Sajou and Kusakabe is giving me life. I don't really care about anyone else.
The side story with Satoshi and Hibiki actually made my heart hurt a little.
omg Sajou saying that when they turn 20 to get married my fucking HEART.
So Cute.

La variedad de historias la hacen una saga muy interesante. Obvio todos amamos el ship Kusakabe-Sajou, pero el resto de las historias son muy buenas! Este tomo acaba con un buen cliffhanger, que bueno que conocí esta saga cuando ya estaba acabada, qué desolador sería esperar años para un tomo nuevo 😰
January 1, 2021
las escenas de sajou y kusakabe fueron lo más bonito que hay pls :( también añadieron otras parejas que la verdad casi no entiendo nada. no llegué a leer el tomo del profesor porque me llega al poto ese hombre, pero parece que tendré que hacerlo para entender lo otro ://

Cómo siempre, amo el arte de Asumiko Nakamura, y acá me gustó más conocer de la relación entre Kusakabe y Sajou, ver como van creciendo como pareja, y no sé! Además fue lindo ver a Sajou en otro ambiente. Conocer a las demás parejas también me pareció interesante.

Este primer volumen me gustó, pero hasta ahí. Me gustaron los capítulos de Saijo y Kusakabe, pero esos son la mitad de los capítulos que conforman el volumen, luego el resto de capítulos son de personajes que te importan un pingo y la verdad me dieron totalmente igual.

read this because i missed these gays so much.
the other stories with the other couples didn't interest me and i didn't like them (the rating of the manga is strictly linked to the relationship between sajou e kusakabe)

This one is different than what I was expecting. It's more of a mix of short stories, about different characters in the same universe. It's still very sweet and heartwarming.

Me gustó mucho poder leer un poco más a cerca de los personajes que ya habíamos conocido en compañeros de clase y Sorano y Hara.

Está muy hermoso. Lloro. Me encantó volver a encontrarme con algunos personajes. Conocer más de la historia de algunos y cjgdkdksk.
El final todo loco, quiero saber que pasará.
