THIS VOLUME WAS SO GOOD!!
I was squealing so much, which made me happy just in the sense that the delay it took for me to get my preorder was ridiculous! But again, it was so worth it because I loved every single page!
Seeing these two come together and have such joy on their faces made my heart feel so light! Aoi has grown SO much, and admired her courage in speaking her heart, despite that she felt she had no idea what she was doing. Her brother called Sena sincere, and I feel that is 100% accurate because he was so gentle but completely giddy at Aoi's words. (Well, giddy might not be quite the right word, but as another character said, he IS smitten!)
I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing their growth and was proud of Aoi's brother as well! I was unsure of what was going to happen once he found out, and was surprised by how he initially reacted. Thankfully, it was short-lived (though the humor was on point LOL) and very interested if the next volume will have some focus on him because of the way this volume ended! I definitely wouldn't mind, but I need to see our leads flourishing together, so hopefully there will be lots more to come!!
Overall, I feel this might be my new favorite volume in the series! It once again reminded me how amazing shoujo is and why I love it so much! <3

This series is so straightforward, but it is luxuriously so. Doing the traditional romance without making it feel like it’s utterly old hat takes some effort and this story has only gotten better as the volumes have gone on.
The development of Aoi and Sena’s relationship may have taken a more usual sort of path, but it only takes one moment where it veers off that route to jolt this thing to life like never before.
Oh, yes, the world’s most obvious weather pattern might have leant a hand there, sure, but Aoi does the truly heavy lifting and seeing her change over these last couple volumes has been utterly charming. She’s not the type of inexperienced girl who lets that stop her or won’t ask for help.
There’s a lot going on this volume, as this is all precipitated by Aoi fighting past her social anxiety to spend time with her class. She’s very relatable in her ‘boy I wish this was cancelled’ energy and I love that Sena picks up on her mood.
Let’s not move on without acknowledging how great Sena is for Aoi. This is not one of those series where you wonder what these two are doing together. They are both way into one another and act appropriately. Especially when they’re let loose via dating one another. I appreciate the heck out of any manga that writes the actual dating stuff rather than just the courtship.
If I have one mild complaint, it’s how overboard the phrasing of said confession is. I mean, we’re dealing with teenagers, so you expect a certain amount of overkill in this respect. Yet I think the more traditional ‘I like you’ would have worked a smidge better.
Now, Sena is also best friends with Aoi’s brother, Itsuki, and I like that the story does acknowledge how potentially awkward the new relationship is, since it runs the risk of getting in the way of the old one.
This might get resolved a little more easily than I would like, but I am glad it didn’t just keep going for the heck of it. The side gag where a bunch of the girls start going crazy (with joy) because they think Sena and Itsuki are sleeping together is also a great gag about this sort of shipping (guilty as charged).
We also get some fascinating potential for a second coupling and that’s looking to be a fun side story in and of itself, but the main couple is absolutely the star of this particular show. That’s not something I say often, but this portrayal of figuring it out together really works.
The romance is on point in these chapters and is actually romantic - you can feel the warmth in those hugs. These two might be moving fast, but it’s a speed that feels appropriate. Mix in the usual excellent friend antics and you have something that might be the best of the series to date. It even observes some of the odder social things that I have noted in life as well, such as your appeal as a romantic partner suddenly going up once you are dating somebody else.
4.5 stars - this is like a hamburger made of out of really expensive beef. The basic design is pretty pedestrian, but it hides something truly special inside. Such a great volume.

Diciamo che quello che si vede in questo volume era abbastanza citofonato 😅 se non altro la cosa è stata gestita senza creare troppo drama gratuito. E sebbene Sena abbia un carattere più espansivo e sia sempre circondato da amici, nemmeno lui può vantare chissà quale esperienza in campo sentimentale: sa cosa prova, si è fatto un'idea abbastanza precisa delle emozioni di Aoi, però l'imbarazzo c'è sempre.
La nostra Aoi, dal canto suo, sa benissimo che deve essere lei a fare il passo decisivo - uno sviluppo non da poco per una ragazza che, fino a poco tempo prima, passava le sue giornate sempre sola, senza amici. E alla fine sono una coppia molto carina. Anche, se almeno per ora, il numero di persone a conoscenza di questa relazione si conta sulle dita di una mano (e potrebbe avanzare pure qualche dito) - un gruppetto ristretto che comprende le due amiche di Aoi e suo fratello che, dopo un iniziale momento di imbarazzo, decide di dare la sua benedizione. Sono curiosa di vedere se, una volta che la notizia diventerà di dominio pubblico, si farà avanti qualche fan gelosa di Sena. In quel caso, Aoi sa che può contare sul supporto di Sena stesso e della sua piccola, ma determinata, rete di supporto: le vecchie abitudini sono dure a morire e probabilmente la ragazza vivrà ancora momenti di dubbio in cui il suo complesso di inferiorità si farà sentire, però la vedo abbastanza decisa a proseguire nel suo percorso di crescita.
Tutto sommato spero che la storia continui a rimanere così leggera e tranquilla, senza troppo drama, però mancano ancora 8/9 volumi alla fine e quindi conviene non farsi troppe illusioni in merito.
P.s.: sono curiosa di vedere se ci sarà qualche sviluppo tra Itsuki e Koto 🤔

Últimament, l'algoritme de Twitter em mostra uns comptes que fan unes recomanacions de shojosei 100% ON POINT ♥ Aquesta sèrie és la típica història d'amor d'institut entre una noia molt introvertida i poc sociable que té un germà estrella del bàsquet i un any més gran ben popular. A més la mare és mangaka de shojo d'èxit i a la família són força cursis i romàntics, però la noia no viu bé estar a l'ombra de dues persones tan talentoses... El germà i un company de l'equip de bàsquet de la mateixa classe que la germana decideixen ajudar-la a tenir més confiança en ella mateixa i l'animen a buscar xicot (mmmm well...). Sorpresa, sorpresa apareixen feelings inesperadament Molt cuqui!!!

If death by cuteness was a thing I need to be reborn. It was all so cute and I like that he acknowledged he should have asked before their first kiss but did before their second. I like that she wanted the kisses! Her brother is so cute too, I like that it wasn't anything weird just he has to catch up to how his sister has grown... that's cute. And her friends, love that.
