To quickly explain the rating here: even if the other couples weren’t interesting, and they are, I would totally give this book 5 stars just because of the ongoing mess that is Azuma and Taira’s relationship.
I’m not sure why I like them so much, but the tale of a mopey kid who tried hard to glow up for high school and failed and the girl who has godawful taste in boys coming together (maybe) has completely taken over this story for me.
These two are such a disaster that I was ecstatic to see so much of the volume devoted to their trials. We already knew about Azuma’s issue with guys, but it’s now compounded by her having a real crush for the first time ever.
Azuma finding that a crush is making her more easily frustrated with Taira and keeping her from being as up front as she used to be is a welcome little detail that really drills down into the fraught relationship between two people not in a relationship.
Taira is basically Eeyore, but the poor guy won’t let himself actually like Azuma. Or at least acknowledge it. The reason why is better than you’re thinking, I assure you. Yes, a failed relationship is involved, but I so appreciated how he saw that breakup. It’s a whole other thing and really explains Taira in general.
Oh, they are so fun, but Yamada and Nishi are a blast too. It’s been many a jellyfish since my first manga aquarium date in Bloom Into You, but these two have a darn good one here.
Nishi is always enjoyable because she is such a shy character, but she keeps putting herself out there anyway. That takes a lot of effort and it’s reflected in her demeanour and inner monologue.
And, since I just wrapped up Don’t Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro, let me just say that this is how you do a first kiss properly.
Which then leaves us with Tani and Suzuki, who have become more supporting players in their own story, but that’s okay. I like the plethora of polar opposites we have here, plus Hon’s disinterested snarky commentary off on the side.
Tani and Suzuki do festival things and celebrate Suzuki’s birthday, all with an eye on the future and what course their lives will take. There’s a lot of soul-searching on Tani’s part, while Suzuki hopes to figure herself out as she goes.
And that’s all really good too; these two are great together and all this future stuff is leavened with them enjoying the time they have left. The story’s trademark wild takes and silly antics are still present in force, yet the spectre of having to grow up now looms over it with everything that entails.
5 stars - I mean, I already explained it. This series has been a consistent favourite and I’m hoping it ends as enjoyably as the rest of it has been.

4.5 stars. This is still great and enjoyable, but slowing down. The story feels like it's coming to an end soon as we fly through spring and summer of 3rr year. There is still the running joke of the existence of a character. The 3 couplings are dealing with different stages of their relationships and different personalities. I do miss seeing the group as a whole hanging out together, but new classes and 3rd year exams are no joke. It feels bittersweet and less enjoyment of youth, so I get the drop in the rating. Still enjoyable with a special spark, even if not quite as bright as ealier volumes.

I want to give it a 5 honestly but i just can't. This has definitely been one of the most consistently good series I've read but really dropped the ball with the final chapter not resolving in my opinion the most important relationship to resolve.

接在愚者之夜後面看
心情有點調適不過來
進度跑好快
一下就直接進入高三考生篇
不太像傳統拖台錢的愛情漫畫耶
這集配角戲比較多
雖然還是比較夢幻
但劇中的高中生煩惱還是挺實際的
不知道何時才會看到台版結局呢~

I've got to be honest, I find Azuma and Taira the least interesting as a romantic couple.
I was kind of relieved when the pacing picked up so much speed in this volume - it seemed like it was skimming past Azuma's "oh maybe I like him?" realization and focusing more on the next steps of the two main couples and everyone's university plans.
Tani seems to be starting to worry some about the longevity of his relationship with Suzuki - she seems confident that if they get into their top choice universities, they'll still be close enough to hang out, but he's been giving some dour and unsettled looks. Meanwhile, Nishi has some secret problem she's trying to figure out without hassling Yamada about it.
So really, I would've much rather spent more time finding out what those things are, and then hopefully seeing them all in college in the final volume.
I did love the bits we got, especially the Yamada and Nishi dates, which were adorable and still filled with so much wonderful communication and boundary respecting. Nishi continues to surprise her much more extroverted boyfriend with the big leaps she makes in their connection, and it's wonderful to see her blossoming and becoming so much more comfortable with him. She's still shy, but that isn't stopping her from confronting her feelings and sharing her thoughts with Yamada.
And then we spent half the volume with Azuma having a crush on Taira that honestly makes her...so much less interesting as a character...
I'm kind of disappointed by that whole arc.
Their friendship was really good, and special because they connected with each other without needing to make it romantic. Azuma even says herself that she's never had guy friends before, which means this is a really important turning point for her! She's finally forming solid, lasting friendships that're a lot more balanced and a lot healthier, without it all centering around dating.
Unfortunately, she decides that it is a crush, and she starts acting...kind of not like herself? And once Taira finally clues in on what's going on, it throws him into a spiral and starts to ruin a pretty great thing they had together.
There's no "love" from his side, at least not right now. He appreciates Azuma's friendship and support and has felt comfortable and safe around her because there were no complications and expectations. He doesn't really seem ready for a relationship yet, and I do think he's the kind of guy who needs to get out of school and get a truly fresh start in university, focusing on himself before he starts up any sorts of relationships.
I'm just bummed the story went this direction. And honestly...if there was going to be a romance for Taira, I felt more chemistry with him and Honda in a few pages than I have with Azuma in this whole series! Azuma and Taira both have way too much insecurity complexes and self-image issues to date each other. I like the idea of Taira with someone as blunt and no-nonsense as Honda, who sounds like she's going to end up at his university, too.
So I liked the first half of this volume but wasn't a big fan of the second Azuma angst-fest. Why isn't she enjoying more of her time in school with all these friends she's made? That was the thing she'd realized she'd been missing, and instead she's just fixating on romance as her primary connection again. It's backwards progress.
Also: I don't know if this was just an issue with my copy, but the pages were weirdly faded for the last chapter. I'm going to see if I can swap my copy out for one where the printer wasn't running out of ink, because that made it pretty frustrating to read, too...

3.75 stars rounded to 4
another great volume, but you can feel the series is coming to an end from how the author suddenly rushes the story. this volume started in spring and it seems to be autumn at the end of the volume. the author also just mentioned some events, another field trip, for example, but doesn't really show much about it. i know it's hard to cover a lot of events in a volume, but i think it would have been better to not mention some events unless the author can cover them properly. the story doesn't flow naturally because there is a time gap between each event, so it feels a bit choppy.
when it comes to azuma and taira, i really like them and i like the maturity and emotion this potential couple expresses. unfortunately they don't have as much time as the other 2 couples to develop, so their feelings and everything feel a bit rushed.
but these things don't stop me from liking the volume. the characters are amazing and they save this volume
yamada and nishi have my heart

This series is really hitting its stride as most of the characters shift from will-they-won't-they to budding relationships. I continue to be shocked at the level of emotional maturity this series offers...especially for something being published by Shonen Jump. In this volume we have very relatable depictions of anxiety (specifically relationship anxiety) and frequent moments where the characters model very mature and healthy relationship communication. It's wholly unique from the way that most SJ manga handle these topics. It's also very funny but without trying too hard.

Since I read v.7 and v.8 back to back, I didn't have to suffer too long for how v.7 ended. It was cruel! But also shows just how far she was thinking about things. It felt kind of refreshing for there to be this sort of conflict that is very common for many.
I don't want to believe that the series is ending but I'm really enjoying the side characters/couples and how they're all navigating. Even while "lovestruck" they're still managing to have a life outside of their relationship, which is beyond healthy.
Thanks so much to the publisher for the DRC.

És un manga que se'm fa sempre llarg de llegir perquè té molts capítols amb força text, però aquest especialment perquè no es resol l'estranya relació entre el Taira i l'Azuma (parella coberta). Slice of life que progressa molt lentament, però que té algun encant desconegut que fa que vulguis continuar.

This series always brings me joy from just how cute all the characters are!
This one though finally got taini and azumi closer! and she admits her crush to herself which was fantastic!
also got a cute date between my fav couple at the aquarium and I just adored the amount of adorable hugs they had together! so sweet!

Our characters final year of high school is here, which means college exam season! That’s pretty much all that happens in this volume, and everything else that “happens” is centered around quick montages.
Around 3.5 stars for me actually. There isn’t too much truly happening in this volume for me, and you can tell the series is coming to a close, but it’s still a pretty cute slice of life!

This one focused on the third couple the most which is fine but they are my least fav. Still got first and second couple cuteness. I saw that the next volume is the last and that does make sense but I wish there were two more so we could’ve had a really nice epilogue which are my fav endings.

Azuma and Taira are such a MESS, I love them. They're awful. They spend so much time worrying about their relationship that they don't have a relationship but they do have a relationship just confess already come onnnnnn.
May 23, 2026
Taira and Azuma are easily the most exhausting couple. In a way they’re the “realest”, showing the most complicated parts of having a difficult past and overcoming that to find joy in people, places, and time, but man they kind of make me want to tear my hair out a little bit.

amei o último capítulo em específico, saber o que se passava na cabeça do tani durante aqueles primeiros momentos (e antes) foi muito bom

HNNNGGGHH! SO MANY EMOTIONS IN THIS VOLUME! I'M GETTING SO EMOTIONAL!

I respect Taira being a lot more self aware but this one did kinda drag on-it’s definitely longer than the other volumes. I’d like things to focus a bit more on Suzuki and Tani.
