New needles drama ahead
A lot dedicated to the side characters in this volume. Normally it would have bugged me but since we're on #14 I didn't mind. Rather if was a nice pallet cleanser for the upcoming drama.

Based on how the previous volume ended, I didn't think this volume would be really "smooth-sailing," but some of those panels of Hananoi HURT!I felt that was definitely true; the closer it got to the end of the volume, the more I felt crushed for him because he's the only one who really has memories of Hotaru's grandpa.
On a lighter note, when the blurb said there was a new adversary, I was VERY shocked! I mean, they obviously don't stand a chance against Hananoi (LOL), but the fact that there seemed to be some kind of challenger was surprising. Thankfully, it wasn't a love triangle kind of thing, and I think everything with that character sort of points out that Hananoi and Hotaru have grown in their relationship, but they still have more growing to do. I don't mean that in a bad way because I love them both, but I could see things said in this volume really affecting their future.
Hibiki and Keigo's chapter was SO good! I find it hilarious that Hibiki and Hananoi are so similar! LOL!
I hope that we continue to see more of Yao in the series! I know there were moments I wasn't fond of him, but he really is the MVP for this series because the way he has cheered for Hotaru and Hananoi's relationship is amazing!
Another gripping volume!

This volume mainly focused on Hananoi’s internal struggle with realizing that his dear friend is also Hotaru’s grandfather. The poor boy needs a massive hug and a therapist for him to internalize these terrible coincidences and feel like things are a bad reflection of whatever he’s doing or has done…There was also a lovely section involving Hibiki and Keigo navigating their own relationship problem, a new older and punk-looking coworker, and Yao getting a farewell party for his last day at work.
I really like that the new coworker brings a fresh and non-bias look to the story and specifically a certain moment between Hananoi and Hotaru that happened around Yao’s farewell party. I also really enjoyed seeing that moment between Hibiki and Keigo since they’re a side couple I really enjoy, both together and when both parties are interacting with the main couple. Seeing everything surround Yao in this volume was bittersweet since I’m not entirely sure how often he’ll be around in the story now. Although, with the tense cliffhanger involving his younger siblings and Hotaru I’m nervous for everyone with whatever happens in the next volume.

Llegamos al momento cumbre de este manga. Finalmente Hananoi le contará a Hotaru sobre cómo conoció a su abuelo y cuál fue su relación con él. Confieso que tengo miedo 😞

I didn't realize that this was already released, I am SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw people saying this volume had some tragic themes but I was hoping it wouldn’t be too bad. I was wrong. There was so much tension this whole volume, it felt like I couldn’t get a chance to relax. It felt like a lot of their progress was coming undone and the cliffhanger at the end?!?! Hopefully the next volume has Hotaru and Hananoi finally talking.
Hibiki and Keigo’s side story was cute. I’m not sure how I feel about the new guy though.
Re-Read #2: I wanted to re-read this one before I jump into the next volume. Hananoi is making me nervous, I feel like this is becoming really sad but I have hope that they will get back on track with their communication. I feel like they overcame so many issues and now they're taking two steps back. Hopefully they will sit down and have a conversation about everything in the next volume.
I am sad that this is probably my least favorite volume. It just didn't hold up to the rest of the series for me.

Trois pas en avant deux pas en arrière, voilà mon sentiment après avoir refermé ce tome intense en émotion mais aussi assez perturbant quant à la psyché d'Hananoi.
Ce dernier pense avoir découvert un lourd secret dans le tome précédent et il ne sait qu'en faire. Il pense en effet que le grand-père qui a longtemps été son seul ami était en fait celui d'Hotaru mais qu'elle ne le connaissait pas. Alors que ça ne devrait avoir aucune incidence sur leur relation puisqu'il n'y a eu aucune conséquence ou drame à cela, étrangement, ça le ronge, montrant encore combien il est psychologiquement fragile et c'est bien le souci.
J'ai eu l'impression d'une grosse régression d'Hananoi dans ce tome. A leur travail, arrive un nouvel employé : plus âgé, tatoué, à l'allure un peu rebelle et effrayant, mais qu'Hotaru va prendre sous son aile. Hananoi en est terriblement jaloux et l'on va repartir encore une fois sur ce thème-là... J'ai trouvé ça bien dans un sens car ça montre bien tout le travail qu'il doit faire sur lui et que ce n'est pas inné de ne plus l'être quand on se sent aussi peu en sécurité affective que lui. Mais, en même temps, c'est un thème qu'on a déjà vu et revu, et je préférerais qu'on passe à autre chose. Je suis donc partagée... En revanche, l'autrice met joliment les pieds dans le plat concernant les hommes jaloux qui vont jusqu'à empêcher leur compagne d'avoir des amis garçons, et je trouve ça bien d'en parler !
D'ailleurs, je trouve de plus en plus, si ce n'était déjà le cas avant, que l'autrice aime faire des oeuvres sociétales. En plus du thème de la jalousie et de la confiance dans un couple, elle aborde avec le chapitre sur les amis d'Hotaru : Yao et Satomi, la question du désir et de la première fois. J'ai beaucoup aimé ce chapitre qui met en lumière Satomi, une jeune fille blessée dans sa première relation amoureuse, qui est pleine de fragilités depuis et qui aimerait ne pas passer pour une nymphomane parce qu'elle aimerait aller plus loin. J'ai trouvé, derrière l'humour distillé, qu'il y avait une belle justesse et émotion dans ce moment d'échange entre elle et Hananoi à qui elle se confie, parce qu'au final, ils se comprennent dans leurs insécurités et l'expression maladroite de leurs sentiments extrêmes. Être blessé, être rejeté, ça marque pour toute future relation.
J'ai donc trouvé ce tome rempli de moments touchants. Et si je regrette ce retour un peu en arrière concernant Hananoi, j'aime beaucoup l'écriture psychologique fine du personnage et l'attention portée aux personne autrefois blessée et fragile. A tes côtés est vraiment un titre plein de tendresse et d'attention à côté duquel il ne faut pas passer car il ose pointer du doigts des maltraitances et souffrances trop banalisées.

Crap a cliffhanger…. Spoilers below of the entire series plot, so I can hopefully just read this rather than reading the whole series again like I did for this volume.
Girl sees boy get dumped and lends boy an umbrella in the snow which makes boy confess his love for her the next time that he sees her. Girl doesn’t know what love is, so they start dating on a trial basis but she slowly falls for boy who LOVES her (yandere style). He would say yes to anyone that asked him out because he wanted to feel the love unconditionally (his parents suck so trauma). Also, he was alway dumped because his is intense.
Boy knew girl when they were in elementary because he would sit on a bench in the park and “read a book” (watch her) with a kind grandpa that would keep him company. Boys parents are never home because they rather help strangers in other countries so the grandpa became boys safe space. Boy and girl go to different middle schools and junior highs and meet up again at the same high school. Girl doesn’t remember boy due to wrong name said.
Also, girl has trauma because friend cut all her hair off as retaliation for stealing her man when they were graduating elementary, so girl keeps her hair short. Normal high school stuff happens and girl and boy get job a bookstore. New employee comes to the stage and it’s the boy (2) that the one friend had a crush on, so trauma is rehashed. More stuff happens and the friend that cut girls hair off moves back and the boyfriend wants to scare her yandere style. Boy confesses to girl that he knew her when they were younger and the two heal from the trauma of the haircut.
For volume 13 and 14, we learn that girls grandpa who passed is the same grandpa that would sit with the boy when he was younger. Boy wants to reveal to the girl that he knew her grandpa, so vol 14 ends with them about to meet up. However, girl runs into the siblings of the boy (2) and the two siblings are trying to get on a train otherwise their mom will die…. Meanwhile, the boyfriend is waiting at a gate with no knowledge that the girl is probably gonna be late.

It seems like there has been a major resurgence of Saki’s possessiveness. I’m not quite sure why, but maybe it’s been too long since I read the first volume. I was a little confused by Yao-kun quitting, and the implication that it had anything to do with Saki. I was also baffled that Hotaru wanted to get his phone number but then decided that would bother Saki too much. Wasn’t she already sending him messages when they went to his house to see his dog?
I did go back and read volume 13, and it feels like there needed to be better pacing or transition between the volumes. I didn’t expect Kou to be fighting with her bf over “rejecting” her…that had been several chapters ago.
It’s too bad that Saki had to find out his friend died, and that it was on his birthday. As if he didn’t already overthink things, now he’s blaming himself for not being there. Hopefully Hotaru reminds him her grandfather already had a terminal illness and that he’d lived past the projected time. It’s also a little sad to think of him going to the park to see his grandchildren from afar - it’s also interesting that he knew they were there. If contact broke off before Hotaru can remember, it doesn’t seem like her mom would talk to him.
The new guy at work is interesting…I’m glad he has very distinctive hair, because otherwise I find his face to be too similar to Saki. He seems semi-observant, or at least able to read the people around him even though he’s not too sociable. It will be interesting to see what role he will play for our couple.

se pasó volando pero aaaaa. seguimos en la zona de tensión y realmente espero que hotaru no se tome mal lo que hananoi le tiene que contar pero aparte de eso, me gusta la dinámica que trae el nuevo, sé que va a seguir haciendo que hananoi se calme un poco más con ciertas cosas. lo que más adoré fue ver como se formo la relación entre keigo y hibiki, son adorables.
May 12, 2024
This volume was sooo so good! Hananoi was really struggling with knowing that Hotaru’s grandfather was his friend from when he was little. I enjoyed Hibiki and Keigo’s scenes, their struggles during the relationship and having to discuss an important topic, it was awesome! I want to continue seeing more of Hananoi’s relationship with Hotaru!

I’m not really a fan of where this story is going with the grandpa plot. My “noble idiocy” instincts are kicking in.
March 5, 2025
It's a bummer this is the last volume I have access to because I want to see how things shake out with Hananoi talking to Hotaru about her grandpa.
March 23, 2025
That ending left me SPEECHLESS!
July 4, 2025
Hananoi just keeps getting lots of things to truly stress him out, and yet, he’s definitely gotten better at realizing and expressing himself.
October 4, 2025
Pretty good volume! I really liked the conversation between our side couple, really sweet.
November 10, 2025
heavier volume - honestly I'm not sure I love this grandpa arc lol. but we got some great focus on the side characters/relationships that was fun and insightful!!

This volume went by way too quickly and I’m just feeling like this is heading down a sad path??? Like Hananoi is going to feel like he’s a burden on Hotaru?? I really wonder how this series will end…

I LOVE THIS BOOK VERY MUCH
Cannot wait for the next volume (if there will be)
I love how they lifeline already connected and it’s time to unfold that

Cap 54 - 57. Ya se siente que nos estamos acercando al final.
Me gustó el personaje nuevo, al parecer es lo que necesita Hananoi para terminar de bajarle a las red flags. Amé la historia de amor del par de amigos. Y en cuanto al tema del abuelo no creo qje Hotaru se lo tomé tan mal, es más probable que confronte al papá que a Hananoi.

The new guy at the bookstore is hard to get a read on, but seems to just be into his music and otherwise not have much of an interest in people. He can be social, but just chooses not to be it seems. Meanwhile Hanananoi seems to be having a breakdown of his own between learning Hotaru didn't ask for Yao's number most likely out of consideration for his feelings even though she wanted to keep in touch with her friend and worrying over if his old friend was Hotaru's grandfather and how she would react to it. She still doesn't know, but now we've got Yao's younger siblings in a panic at the train station. Hopefully Hanananoi won't be waiting for too long.
