This continues to be a solid series for fun, lighthearted high school love and friendship stories. The artwork picked up in this one, so that pleased me. No major Drama and a fun, quick read.
3, solid I recommend this series when you want a high school not too heavy with the Drama, stars.
My thanks to NetGalley and VIZ Media LLC for an eARC of this book to read and review.

I love this series. The overall vibe and energy of You and I Are Polar Opposites is wonderful. The main characters continue to be extremely loveable. Their story is so cute, and I appreciate the low drama. The surrounding cast might up the drama a bit, but it works well around the central figures. There is so much to like about all the characters. Some readers might find the artwork to be a bit busy or overstimulating, but I think it expresses the age and feel of these characters perfectly. Sometimes I just need to slow down and take in all the little details happening around the page. With that said, every new volume of this series is a joy. I cannot wait for more.
Tani and Suzuki continue to hit new relationship milestones in volume 3 of "You and I Are Polar Opposites". Suzuki tries to introduce Tani just to her mom. Suzuki notices something is up with our possible second couple. The topic of jealousy and trust in relationships is briefly discussed with other people instead of just being an overthought internal monologue. In the cutest mini-arc of this volume, Suzuki does her best to plan for Tani's birthday while taking what he would like into considerations. Healthy relationships in manga, such a novel concept. (I received an ARC of this title from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.)
More Suzuki and Tani! More of them getting closer together. More of Tani taking charge.
I think that's one of my favorite things about this. You'd think Suzuki would be the more forward going on but Tani is usually the one who reaches for Suzuki first and I am here for it.
I really liked getting more of Azuma in this volume. It really brought Taira's character out more also, which I appreciate.
I also do like Yamada but Nisshi is still meh for me.
Overall, I still enjoyed every moment of this book and it's so cute! Please read this book if you like these types of stories. You won't be disappointed.
Nishi struggles to make a connection with Yamada, but they’re trying and making progress anyway.
Taira is his moody self. Azu has some issues with some exes. But, Azu and Taira seem to be getting closer… in their own way.
But Suzuki and Tani are still both so cute! They keep finding little ways of being happy together, like taking pictures or going to the museum. (I wish I could do stuff like this, but all the good stuff is expensive and/or really far away)
Still going strong for this series! I liked that we checked in significantly with some of the side characters we were meeting before while still focusing on our main couple. I also thought the way certain tropes were played with but then inverted was really fun. It's still a quick read, the art is easy to follow, and the characters all feel like they have individual personalities.
I like that we got to check in with the side characters, and develop the (potential) side couple a bit more. I found Tani's unease about 'not reacting the correct way' to people (showing enough emotion/gratitude) the most relatable he's ever been, yeah I feel you bro. The ending of the birthday date was very cute as well.
They're so stinking adorable. I'm really enjoying the pureness of their relationship and getting backstory/solo interactions of their classmates/friends. Reading this series reminds me of all the random fun I had in highschool (when I wasn't in class).
Thanks so much to Viz and Edelweiss for the DRC. So happy I can catch up with the series.
The nice slow developments have been really good, plus involving the rest of the characters has been good also, when a series like this moves away from the main characters it can sometimes drop off but I don't feel this one does, so far at least!
Una sèrie que es llegeix la mar de bé, sense drames ni complicacions innecessàries i amb un ventall de personatges secundaris que també aporten a la trama. La parella principal va a pas de tortuga, però no em molesta el slow burn en aquest cas :3
I just love high school romance manga where there is a friendship group and we learn a little about the friends as we follow the main characters. I like the art. The main couple is so cute. They really like each other.
We were cheated though! I wanna on page peck on the cheek!! Too cute
I love them so much. I think this is such a good representation of real high school level shit. Like kissing on the cheek for the first time is big, super cute!!!
