These volumes can be very dense reads, but dang do I ever love them. The story has neatly split into three separate couples, or at least potential ones, and each of them is a lot of fun to spend time with. That’s a rare feat.
My absolute fave is still the hopelessly shy Nishi and Suzuki and Tani’s friend, Yamada, who make such an adorable couple that they could lead this manga and I wouldn’t even mind.
Between Nishi continuing to push outside her comfort zone, Yamada’s ongoing acceptance of her exactly as she is, and Nishi’s friend being all too happy to play wingman, this is so much greatness in one package.
Their tale sprawls all across this volume, culminating in a really sweet date that inadvertently ends up intersecting with Suzuki and Tani while they’re also having a little moment of their own.
The silly ways that Tani and Suzuki manage to work even though they don’t have a lot in common is still another part of the three-pronged approach that makes this so good. They’re good for one another, yes, but they aren’t out to change one another and that’s really key.
Tani’s still the quiet one, but he’s slowly coming out of his shell and it’s very sweet seeing them keep landing blows on one another. This definitely catches the mood of a particular type of young love.
And then there’s the super-self-conscious Taira, whose glow-up didn’t really lead him to the high school life he envisioned. Except he and the jaded Azuma have such a good time together and Azuma is practically blossoming through her interactions with him.
It’s not the madcap antics of Tsuredere Children, but between the art style and the sharp writing this manages to capture the usual manga high school experience while making it feel fresh and unique. I’ve seen Nara’s deer dozens of times by now, but this still has something new to do with them.
There aren’t really high dramatics, but there don’t need to be. Every time this switches to a different perspective or couple it stays strong and keeps on going. It’s many things, but always interesting.
4.5 stars - I mean, it’s not doing anything special, per se, but what it does it does so well that it’s hard to resist. Wonderful stuff.

For the first three volumes of You and I Are Polar Opposites, it was easy to give a glowing five star review. The characters, the writing, the art... it was all fantastic. It was funny and touching and honest. It was a bit chaotic, but in a way that makes sense. Volume 4 is still pretty much all of that, but I am getting lost in the characters now. This is probably more my fault than the series itself. I still had a great time with it, I just wasn't always sure I knew which characters were doing what, which got me lost in some of the story progression. That took away a little bit of the enjoyment. I would gladly recommend this series even with that though. I am so stoked that they announced an anime version of the series coming in 2026.

為什麼龍套都要姓山田
躍動青春的龍套山田外型跟這部好像喔
不過這集的山田戲份好多

YES WE GET THE FIELD TRIP ARC!!!
There are a couple of things that are a must in these types of manga.
1. Beach episode
2. Field trip
And this volume brings us to the field trip. And I loved every single moment. There was so much that happened and it all worked so well. This definitely had to be my favorite volume as, finally, ALL of the characters are developing.
And then the last chapter of this volume. Ugh, the torture of having to wait! I seriously love Tani and Suzuki and reading their relationship grow. Suzuki being more straightforward in exactly what she wants and Tani catching on to her.
I think I like how much Tani's character is really growing. He's being more talkative and really trusting his instincts more.
This is definitely the best and I cannot wait until we get the next volume.

Everyone is gearing up for the class trip and all the couples are growing closer... in their own quirky little ways.
But the absolute best part of the whole book is Yamada and Nishi's date. It's so cute and then the next chapter reveals that Suzuki and Tani also had a date at the same time in the same place and BOTH parties were trying to ninja avoid the other. It's equal parts sweet and hilarious.
This series has 8 volumes.

Se esta convirtiendo en uno de mis mangas favoritos. Es taaan entretenido y enternecedor. Pasas de echarte unas buenas risas a sonrojarte por cualquier momento ñoño. Sus personajes son unos amores, a cada tomo, mas me los quiero (y mas me representan, todos y cada uno de ellos JAJAJA)
Es una joya de slice of life. 🥹❤️🩹
PD: Mis tomos favoritos hasta el momento son el 2 y el 4. 🛐💖

Time for a school field trip! Less focus on our main couple, I feel, as we got more of the various (potential) side couples! My favourite chapter was the one where one couple was on a date and tried to avoid the other couple on their date, watching them be so embarrassed was cute.

Loved it 1 fer sure couple,1 budding couple, and 1 potential. I love the art. I really like that the overly shy character has such a supportive female friend to push her along. I love the strong friend group and kindness

Aggghh this book was so much fun! I enjoyed it so much!
Honda’s face she makes when she’s trying not to laugh literally cracks me up every single time, I can’t 😭

Suzuki and Tani make it through the class trip without kissing at all. Azuma might be catching feelings for the over-thinker Taira.

That moment of introspection that made you realize you need to care about how you feel about stuff ❤️

I guess their opposite natures but similar attraction to each other is kind of cute…

todo esta avanzando un poquito mas
tani se esta amigando con los chicos
nishi y yamada se estaan acercando y nishi esta con momento de debilidad por pensar que yamada es asi con todas las chicas
viaje escolar primero
azuma esta mas linda que nunca pero le esta constando llevarse con los demas compañeros, aunque esta más integrada de lo que seda cuenta en el grupo de la susuki, ya que fueron las 4 chicas juntas de un solo y eso desconcerto a la azuma que pensaran en ella automaticamente
tani y susuki avanzan poquis uno otro intento de beso, pero interrumpido por los sugros (padres de ella) y luego la pena de que los regresaran a casa juntos
cita yamada x nishi y tani x susuki tuvo un mini crossover aunque todos menos tani se dieron cuenta y los primeros huyeron cuando se dieron cuenta
cuanto estuvieron en el viaje escolar yamada tramo para que se topara "naturalmente" con nishi y le dijo que si se podian ver
tani estuvo raro en el viaje pero se le pasa con aire fresco y su novia y el taira se preocupa por el y le compra una coquita pero como llego la novia primero ella lo endulza
