"If they're someone you like spending time with...that's what a friend to me."

I love this series so much! 😭😭😭😭

What a very wonderful volume! I loved seeing Hotrau share her feelings and being the one to "initiate." You go, girl!! However my favorite chapter might have been when Hananoi makes his "first friend." That double-page spread of him and his friend laughing together was so touching! 😭😭😭😭 Beautiful beautiful developments when it comes to relationships AND friendships!

And speaking of friendships, seeing Satomura again and her getting a whole chapter to shine was wonderful! I truly hope for happy and wonderful things for her, especially with Yao!

That last chapter stirred some nostalgia(?) for the first volume and how far these two have come together. I really really loved it, though THAT CLIFFHANGER!!!! AHHHHH! I NEED the next volume because I never imagined that Hotaru would say what she did!!! Eeeepp!

Still love this series so much and would continue to highly recommend it!!

Que cette série a évolué depuis ses débuts où Hananoi était glauque et limite dérangeant. Elle est désormais un havre de bienveillance où j’aime me plonger pour avoir ma petite bulle de douceur.

Passé leur première dispute de couple et leur réconciliation, Hananoi et Hotaru ne savent pas exactement comment reprendre leurs marques. Voilà Megumi Morino qui continue de nous embarquer avec un charme certain dans le quotidien de ce petit couple plein de prévenance. J’ai beaucoup aimé le thème de ce tome car on est habitué à voir des couples se disputer et se réconcilier mais on s’arrête rarement à ce point sur leur psychologie et ce qui régit leurs actions. En plus, comme ils sont adorables, c’est mignon tout plein de les voir réfléchir, faire attention, avancer précautionneusement puis finalement se livrer. Je suis extrêmement touchée par eux.

Mais ce ne sont pas les seuls personnages bien écrits de l’histoire. Ils le sont tous ! Chaque petit chapitre qui vient agrémenter l’histoire le montre désormais, que ce soit celui où Hananoi continue de découvrir l’amitié aux côtés de Keigo, ou celui où les camarades de travail Satomi et Yao font de même. Je fonds ! J’ai adoré suivre les premiers pas maladroits d’Hananoi en tant qu’ami. Je comprends tellement sa peur de mal faire, mal dire, mal comprendre. Son côté maladroit et à fleur de peau me touche énormément et j’adore quand il décrit sa relation passée avec « le boss » qui s’occupait de lui. J’espère qu’on aura l’occasion de le croiser d’ailleurs. C’est beau. De la même façon, j’ai adoré le petit chapitre où Satomi prenait les rênes de la narration pour ce chapitre consacré à Yao et elle. On a ainsi pu voir la relation spéciale qui est née entre eux malgré leur différence d’âge et de sentiments. Ils se retrouvent dans leur passion et leur possibilité de parler ensemble de sujets qui leur valent des moqueries ailleurs. C’est touchant à nouveau.

Je suis donc archi fan de la douceur et de la bienveillance des relations de cette série et des personnages qui les portent. Ils ne sont pas des anges pour autant mais dans leur égoïsme, ils savent prendre du recul et penser également aux autres. Le dernier chapitre entre Hotaru et Hananoi/Saki est un modèle du genre quand on les voit passer Noël ensemble et se combler mutuellement tout en se faisant plaisir à eux-même. J’en ai eu des petits papillons dans le ventre tant ils étaient mignons sans être trop culculs non plus, Saki passant à l’action au bon moment pour rappeler qu’ils sont aussi des ados comme les autres. Vraiment j’adore la dynamique de l’autrice.

Définitivement série doudou chère à mon coeur sur laquelle je me jette à sa sortie, A tes côtés comble à la fois mes besoins de douces histoires d’amour bienveillantes et de belles amitiés à coeurs ouverts où on trouve LA personne à qui se confier et avec qui être soi-même. Ça fait un bien fou et le tout sans être déconnecté de la réalité et en abordant des sujets psychologiques fins comme la peur du rejet quand on a un petit quelque chose de différent. C’est émouvant.

Lovingly containing a lot of nuances and subtle issues of relationships either friendship or a couple relationship.

This series is one of the best shōjo manga for sure! I’ve been following it for two years now. It’s cute and mellow , but also heart fluttering. There’re lots of scenes that make me feel sympathize with all characters. Each of them has their own concerns which are relatable. I just felt tons of heart skipping a beat while reading it.

.
Satomura-san’s chapter is one of them. I wanted to cheer her on. I don’t want to see anyone holding back their feelings, however, it’s better this way. At least, in the future, I hope the author would give her a proper seen moment and make her wish comes true. I wanted to give her hugs. it is best to let this relationship stay secure because of the age gap, not that it’s that much but Yao-kun is still a minor😆 this is one of the reasons why I love this series so much. Megumi-sensei is careful of her crafting I really appreciate that.


เป็นเรื่องที่อ่านทีไรก็ใจหวิวๆ เป็นจังหวะ เวลาที่เห็นตัวละครเผยด้านอ่อนแอหรือตัดสินใจอย่าง selflessly ทำให้รู้สึกใจหวิว รู้สึกเห็นใจ สงสาร น้ำตาคลอ อารมณ์แบบ ทำไมคนๆ นี้ไม่สมหวังเลยนะ หรือทำไมน่าเศร้า น่าเห็นใจจัง อาจารย์เมกุมิเขียนได้ละเอียดดีมาก ในเล่มนี้ก็ได้เห็นพัฒนาการของฮานาโนอิคุงในเรื่องความสัมพันธ์กับคนอื่นๆ รอบตัว และได้เป็นเพื่อนกับเคโกะคุงแล้ว! ต้องบอกว่าเคโกะคุงเนี่ย เขาพยายามกับคนๆ นี้มาตั้งแต่เล่ม 1 เลยนะ พยายามกว่าคู่พระนางทุกเรื่องเลย อดทนมา 12 เล่มเพื่อให้ฮานาโนอิคุงได้เข้าใจความหมายของการมี’เพื่อน‘ ยังคงเป็น MVP ของเรื่องนี้เสมอ

.
ในเล่มนี้มี arc ของซาโตมุระซัง 1 ตอนเต็มๆ เธอเป็นรุ่นพี่ที่ทำงานของทั้ง 3 คนอย่างฮานาโนอิ โฮตารุ และยาโอะ เธอสนใจและแอบชอบยาโอะคุงแต่ก็ไม่กล้าที่จะขยับคใามสัมพันธ์จนไปถึงขั้นสัญญาว่าจะเป็นเพื่อนกันตลอดไปอีก เล่นเอาใจหวิวตาม รู้สึกใจเสียไปด้วย เราแอบคิดว่ามันอาจจะดีถ้าบอกออกไปตรงๆ แต่นั่นก็แค่มองในมุมคนนอก ถ้าเป็นเราเองจริงๆ อาจจะเลือกแบบซาโตมุระซังก็ได้ ทั้งเรื่องวัยด้วย 5555 คนนึงบรรลุนิติภาวะแล้ว อีกคนยังเป็นเยาวชนตามกฎหมาย ดังนั้นอาจารย์เมกุมิคงระมัดระวังเรื่องนี้พอควร ต้องบอกว่าเป็นงานเขียนที่ละเอียดและระมัดระวังมาก มีการวางเรื่องไว้อย่างผ่านการไตร่ตรองมาแล้ว เช่นยอมให้คนไม่ชอบฮานาโนอิคุงก่อนเผยให้เห็นแผลของเขา ระวังเรื่องการวางตัวของทุกคนในเรื่องอีก
.
แต่ว่าโฮตารุเองก็เริ่มเติบโตขึ้นแล้วเช่นกัน ในตอนจบเล่มเธออยากจะขยับเลเวลแฟนกับฮานาโนอิคุงซะแล้วววว ใจเย็นๆ นะสาวน้อยของแม่!!!

Ahhh, this was another fantastic addition to the series! I’m usually not a big fan of entire chapters dedicated to side characters, as they often feel like filler and can take attention away from the main story. However, this volume handled it beautifully. Perhaps because these side characters have been seamlessly integrated into the story from the start, their presence has always played a significant role in shaping the main characters. Getting to see their inner thoughts and emotions added a much-welcomed depth to both them and the overall narrative.

I especially loved watching Hananoi's first true friendship with Keigo-kun develop further. Aside from the old man and Hotaru, this is the first time we've seen him truly recognize and accept someone as a friend, and it was so heartwarming. Seeing him open up, realize how much others care for him, and allow himself to be supported was incredibly touching. It gives his deeply caring nature an outlet beyond just Hotaru, which makes his growth feel even more meaningful.

Satomi-san and Yao-kun’s chapter was another highlight for me. Aside from the age gap—which isn't a huge deal, but is understandable given that she’s in university while he’s still in high school—I loved how their dynamic was explored. They would make such a sweet couple, but what stood out the most was the emphasis on the value of friendship and the real struggle of wondering whether pursuing something more might put that precious bond at risk. I truly hope these two get more chapters so their story can unfold in a satisfying way.

And, of course, all the Hananoi and Hotaru moments were just so sweet! I love them both so much and can’t wait for more. This volume was a perfect balance of character development, romance, and emotional depth, making it one of my favorites in the series so far.

This volume was the cutest!! Hotaru and Hananoi are back together and are trying to go back to how they were before, but it’s a bit harder than it looks. After talking, they realized everything was okay again and they started enjoying the things they did before. It was awesome seeing Hananoi actually being friends with Keigo, because they get each other and Keigo is a really nice guy, it was great seeing them play basketball together. I’m so happy that Hananoi and Hotaru are back together, they are happier when they’re with each other. Finally, it’s Hotaru’s birthday again and Hananoi and Hotaru are spending the day together at Hananoi’s house, cooking, decorating the Christmas tree and eating Dango, then they go to Hotaru’s sister’s skating performance and at the end we see Hotaru telling Hananoi that she wants to spend the night at his house?? What’s going to happen next?!

Hanananoi seems to have reverted to their early days of dating where he thinks he isn't allowed to touch Hotaru after their big fight, which Hotaru is not having. Fortunately once she actually talks to him about it, they're able to break the ice and start going back to normal. Meanwhile it seems Yao is determined to disappear from Hotaru's life once again, which leaves Satomi in a bit of her bind given her newly realized feelings. Hotaru is learning how to ask for what she wants and Hanananoi seems rather pleased with their relationship being back on track, even decorating together for Christmas and going to see her little sister's ice show with the rest of the family before asking to stay with him for the night.

Ho sento, si no ho dic rebento: dos adolescents d'institut fa UN ANY que surten i encara no han passat la fase "ai, que em marejo si ens morregem?????" On és la versemblança??? Em preocupa que la noia sigui taaaaan infantil ehh entenc que cadascú va al seu ritme, però sincerament penso que no està preparada per tenir parella... a veure si el cliffhanger del final s'acaba materialitzant i no és un bluf. Deixant això de banda, la trama amb els personatges secundaris m'ha agradat moltíssim: el Yao i la noia universitària tenen una química especial i m'encantaria que acabessin junts ❤️

Another good read, it was so nice to have Hananoi to get some changes by himself without Hotaru. I love the male making friends with other males since it's so lighthearted and sweet. I also feel for Hananoi when it comes to feeling self conscious about himself as well (despite being g super attractive), also the bit where his picture was posted online only to have Hotarus friend to delete it because of alot of DMS about him was hilarious. Also we finally get a chapter of one of the side characters which is a nice change as well.

El final?? Van a dar otro paso más? Necesito respuestas!! Siguen avanzando y normalizando su relación tras lo ocurrido, preciosos💖 la escena de la noria me ha parecido súper bonita, apoyándose mutuamente pueden superar todo y evolucionar juntos 🥹
Los otros dos ships van por buen camino👀 Keigo es monísimo con Kyo, se nota que la quiere muchísimo. Respecto a Yao y Satomi, aún queda camino por recorrer, para empezar Yao tiene que superar a Hotaru.
El capítulo de Hananoi y Keigo, mis besties adorables 🥹 y me ha encantado ver también a Hananoi interactuar un poco más con Kyo.

*SIGH*

This book has helped heal my heart just a little after the trauma it has suffered from Jujutsu Kaisen and all the crazy that blew up today.

I A D O R E this series, and the characters. All of them. Every single one. The growth that all of these characters have gone through is absolutely amazing. I love how Hotaru and Hannanoi listen to each other and communicate with each other.

Okay, I'm going to go cry about it now. Happy tears of course.

The relationship that Hotaru and Hananoi have with one another is truly incredible. No matter what difficulties they have encountered during the time they have been dating, they have overcome them and helped each other change for the better. I adored the nervousness that Hananoi had with Kurata at their hangout as friends. It was too sweet. And it looks like the Hotaru and Hananoi relationship is going to the next level with how it ended this volume. Happy for the both of them.

💞*Swoon*💞 - this volume included tons of great content, from rekindling romances, forming new friendships (and love?), along with experiencing new firsts! I was so giddy by the time I was finished with it and now I have to wait who knows how long for the next volume to be ready to check out through the library 😩⏳📚🪪

So... Ich hab Band 12 gelesen ohne gemerkt zu haben, dass ich weder Band 11 besitze noch gelesen habe... Hat der süßen Story keinen Abbruch getan, denn es passiert in der Story nicht so viel, dass man es hätte merken können. Aber ich mag die Reihe immer noch gerne 🫶🏻

Amo a esta pareja, el respeto que tienen por su compañero. La paciencia con la que se aman. Se toman su tiempo, la relación avanza poco a poco. Aunque sí han habido conflictos, amo que ahora haya una mejor comunicación entre ellos. Son preciosos ❤️

Might be my favorite volume so far. Romantic, thoughtful, humorous, and so much character development. Especially for our male lead, I loved seeing him relax and acting like a silly teenager.

The end did have me gagged. Need the next volume asap.
