Yamada and Sasaki smoke into the new year, now with a slightly expanded cast and another romantic entanglement.
There’s nothing here you won’t like if you enjoyed the first two volumes. It continues to be interesting and sweet with minimal changes of scenery and only a couple hoary cliches.
Similarly, it won’t wow you if you didn’t like the first two volumes. The novelty has definitely dropped a bit and I’d be remiss if I didn’t continue to point out that this story glamorizes smoking in a way that Joe Camel wishes he could pull off.
There are at least two sequences where I thought the story sold me on the appeal of smoking, at least in fiction, and I’m a health professional. So, maybe don’t let anybody impressionable see this one.
I like that this is a story about communication and connection. This time out we get the brief possibility that Sasaki is married, which really grinds Yamada’s gears (not because she’s attracted to him, of course, no no).
Naturally this turns out to be a misunderstanding, one borne from assumptions. Talking clears everything up and, at the same time, it shows the way that deepening bonds open you up to being hurt. Which makes talking things out even more important.
So, minus the needless deception at the heart of the series, this shows people getting closer to one another and the problems that causes them, in addition to all the joys.
Lots of slow movement there makes for a reasonably good volume, but we get a ton more from the other employees at the store this time, including the hapless Obata.
He’s an awkward giant with a crush on the manager and, while I didn’t love his introduction, the way that he tries to put himself out there despite his anxiety really made me warm to him (and relate to him).
His presence also sets off Yamada when he smokes with Sasaki, and it’s become very, very clear that Yamada’s tough exterior is a defence mechanism against being easily hurt. It makes her such a good match with Sasaki being such a thoughtful pushover. He worries about what he’s doing, in a good way.
Not the best volume, but still good. It definitely needed an expanded cast and they make themselves known without getting in the way of the main plot (which pretty much everybody is aware of, amusingly).
As a final aside, you really would be surprised how much easier it is to swallow a questionable romance with a massive age gap when the people in question are at least adults well above the age of consent. What a wild idea.
3.5 stars - very much enjoyable, but I worry that it might run out of ways to iterate on the central conceit and get stale. Still, a problem for subsequent volumes, not this one.

A little slower than the previous volumes, but still really darling to read!
I enjoy the introduction of another character, a slightly jealous Yamada, the wife debacle, the new years, and the old senpai conversations.
Sasaki is so dense, I hope he doesn't change and that he does lol.

creator afterword:
"it's great when a relationship reaches a place where it's clear that you're a couple, or friends, or close friends etc. But I think it's worthwhile spending time together when you aren't quite sure what you are to each other too"
the whole point of this marvellous magna us to see where Yamada and Sasaki end up...so the plot can wander if it wants to.

Despite the smoking and the age gap, this remains an anticipated, warm and fuzzy comfort read for me.
All the moments in this slow burn are little, but you can feel the heat building with every chapter.

Smoking is very bad for your lungs. Millions of young Americans lose their future to smoking a year. Do not smoke. Do not smoke when narcotics are an option. Why eat at McDonald’s when there’s a Cracker Barrel right down the road? Live, laugh, love. Live strong, live fast, die hard. Nothing in life is worth your lungs’ safety.

one of the reasons why i don’t like romance is that it makes me feel fucking lonely T-T ~♡

Искреният усмихнат, позитивен японизъм, за който споменах при по-първите томове, продължава :)
Сасаки се откроява малко повече тук като че ли, докато Ямада все още ми е героиня в сянка. Или е така просто защото той е прозрачен като цяло и не е трудно да го разбереш с всичките му нелепици, които понякога бълва :D Наред с това обаче живее в реалността, осъзнавайки напълно идиотиите, които могат да ти се стоварят на главата, благодарение на ежедневието. Никак не е трудно да се повярва, че е човек от реалността.

Avec ce troisième tome, Jinushi continue de tisser une romance du quotidien toute en retenue, en silences et en petits instants suspendus. Ce volume marque un tournant plus émotionnel, plus fragile aussi, où les personnages commencent à effleurer ce qu’ils ressentent sans encore réussir à le formuler clairement. On reste dans cette ambiance douce-amère qui fait le charme de la série, mais avec une tension nouvelle, plus intime, presque mélancolique.
Dans ce troisième tome, l’histoire avance à pas feutrés, fidèle à l’esprit du manga, mais les émotions, elles, gagnent en profondeur. La scène sous la pluie, où l’admiration nostalgique de Tayama transparaît enfin, agit comme un révélateur silencieux : quelque chose a changé, même si personne ne met encore de mots dessus. Sasaki, de son côté, commence à faire des liens entre ce qu’il ressent pour Tayama et ce qu’il éprouve pour Yamada, ce qui le plonge dans une forme de confusion très humaine. Il doute, se questionne, et surtout, il a peur de dépasser les limites, de s’immiscer dans une vie qui n’est peut-être pas la sienne à comprendre. Le manga explore avec beaucoup de justesse cette zone floue entre affection, admiration et amour naissant, là où les sentiments existent avant même que l’on en ait pleinement conscience. Les thèmes du temps qui passe, de la solitude discrète, des attentes sociales (comme la suspicion de mariage autour de Sasaki) viennent renforcer ce malaise doux, presque étouffant, mais jamais dramatique. L’arrivée d’un nouvel employé au caractère affirmé apporte un contraste intéressant : il agit comme un miroir, mettant en lumière l’immobilisme émotionnel des personnages principaux. Et puis, il y a ce début d’année, porteur de renouveau mais aussi de bouleversement. La nouvelle que reçoit Sasaki agit comme une secousse silencieuse, fragile, qui ne brise rien immédiatement mais fissure l’équilibre installé entre lui et Tayama. Ce tome montre surtout à quel point ils comptent l’un pour l’autre sans le savoir, et c’est là toute la beauté et la douleur de ce volume : aimer sans comprendre encore l’importance de ce lien, avancer sans réaliser que chaque petit moment partagé est déjà essentiel.
Avec ce troisième tome, ce manga confirme toute la délicatesse et la sensibilité de son récit. Jinushi réussit à capturer ces moments minuscules mais décisifs où les sentiments évoluent en silence, sans grandes déclarations ni scènes spectaculaires. Ce volume laisse une impression douce et mélancolique, presque fragile. On referme ce tome avec le cœur un peu serré, conscient que quelque chose est en train de naître, ou peut-être de se perdre, et avec l’envie sincère de continuer la lecture pour voir jusqu’où ces liens, si discrets mais si profonds, vont mener les personnages

Another Heartwarming Installment
This series isn’t anything super serious so it’s easy for me to give it a 5 star rating for its warmth and charm. I particularly enjoy watching Yamada slowly realize her feelings and motivations - those pointed out by Sasaki and those that dawn on her during self-motivated reflections. While I’m still pretty young at the time of my reading this (33), it’s so nostalgic to see Yamada pine and get frustrated, to be anxious over every little thing. 24 seems so long ago! Jinushi captures that young but maturing mentality so well. In regards to Sasaki…what a cutie! His unassuming demean and earnest sincerity are both refreshing and comical. It’s very sweet to read how considerate he is about every little thing and, unlike our heroine, it’s so easy for him to just be honest about his thoughts and feelings. How nice it must be in your 40s and let go of all the bravado. It’s so clear how they influence each other for the better while sharing comforting and joyful moments. The final chapter of this volume was so satisfying! Looking forward to the next.

I like that sasaki is not a chikan in anyway. He is just really appreciating both tayama and Yamada and the friendship and joy they bring to his life. We get a new side character that was enjoyable enough, I’m most glad that he isn’t some kind of competition in any way.

Immer noch sehr süß <3, und es kommen neue Charaktere vor, yay.
Einen Stern Abzug, weil wir ein wiiiiiirklich ausgenudeltes Missverständnis-Trope benutzt haben.
