I wish half the series I’m reading were as thoughtful as this one is. From its very gentle look at friendship and utter lack of prejudice to those who are different to its quietly understated romance and wonderful lore this is a winner.
This is still a very typical story that becomes a very special story in its small details. The little things like how does somebody with super-acute hearing handle fireworks or how do you watch a movie if you can see in the dark make this come alive.
There’s a level of charm smeared all over this. Tsumiki’s odd interpretation of math problems is genuinely funny. There’s one guy who comes to realize that he is not the main character, yet wants to date Tsumiki, who keeps getting sadder that really gave me a good laugh too.
It tackles some things of actual substance as well, like somebody realizing their definition of love isn’t like others’ and dealing with that. There actually is a little lesson about prejudice, featuring Senga the vampire, who is becoming a fantastic side character. Social anxiety and introversion get their due too.
Amidst all this, Yutaka and Tsumiki get a little closer, although not before a little rough patch where Yutaka thinks he can’t say hi if he doesn’t have a reason. He comes out of his shell quite nicely this volume.
It’s all very innocent stuff - there’s absolutely nothing here that should worry anybody. The closest it ever gets to thirsty is the whole brushing thing, but having seen my cat get brushed I completely buy it.
If I was going to ding this it would be that it is completely colouring within the lines in terms of its plots. All the summer hits are here, from festivals to the beach. Still, I appreciated that they went with the secondary beach plot where somebody’s relative runs a restaurant though (and whoever thought to name an obnoxious streamer Snider Prick deserves like two raises).
But the point here is: do the basics well and you’re fine and this is fine and a half. It makes something pedestrian into a really special experience that is never less than enjoyable. Such a great time.
4.5 stars - slight nudge down for being a little obvious, but I love these characters so dang much that I feel the five-star is only a matter of time.
