[Alex Savage-Sneed · Rating 5 out of 5]

Roughly episode 76-93

[Bell (Paws & Pages) · Rating 2 out of 5]

Okay this volume was eh alright, it sort of felt like a filler?

But let me just say I’m getting tired of Sam’s insecure, pick-me girl personality. Can we give her some character growth by now? I’m over her self pity party and just because you have all these insecurities doesn’t make it okay to jump at every guy that gives you attention. Especially when one of them has a girlfriend!

Charles is seriously ticking me off in this one, but kudos to Sam and Link for making some discoveries.

THAT CANT BE THE FINALE??
I NEEEEEDDDDDD MOREEEEEEEE OR ILL DIEEEEE

[Soobie has fog in her brain · Rating 2 out of 5]

Nothing has improved. A lot of blank spaces on the page, a plot that's dragging and dragging... At least, there's no much social anxiety here. And, WOW!, at least one of the guy is out of the competition. In a very disappointing way, to be honest, but at least, there are only two suitors now.

I don't even know why I keep backing this series. Maybe because I want to see how it ends.

More Sam and crew to love! At this point it probably isn't any surprise that I love this series and just want more! This one picks up where volume four left off with Marshall collapsing suddenly in the hallway with Sam. More great character interactions with fun art. Can't wait for volume six, it's already been Kickstarted!

My favorite graphic novel and never disappointed 😍 Already cannot wait for Vol 6 to come out next year!!!!

Aaah the tears I shed! 😭😭 I can’t remember where the WEBTOON left off all those years ago I think maybe episode 100 something? So I know there’s still more content for volume 6 and I need it now! 😭

I'm enjoying this series. Can't wait to read the next.

[Caitlin Hinkle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Still in love with series. It’s so cute. And so relatable.

J'adore toujours ce webtoon. Ce tome est d'ailleurs une relecture car j'ai lu la version en ligne avant de lire la version physique. Mais c'est toujours un plaisir de lire cette saga qui surfe entre romance et clins d'oeil à la culture geek.
