usami is so good with kids, he should totally be a kindergarten teacher !!

i read up to chapter 133 which is the last one for this volume. i know there's like 20+ chapters left but i think i'm gonna stop here and wait until the next volume is released since that makes it easier for me to keep track

why do i always love the side couple more than the main couple???? (i love the main couple tho dont get me wrong)

it's wholesome and all, but this whole "finding the right path for every single member of our friend group" arc was so monotonous... what do you mean I've just read over 30 chapters about this?? God let me rest, it just makes me feel more depressed as someone in the final year of high school myself

btw Kaoruko's dream is so nice, I would also want to become a gynaecologist if I decided to apply for a medical university!!

"But, papa, I want to be doctor!". I mean, c'mon

As someone who couldn't follow medicine for money reasons, I get it, that part at least. But the angsty vibe the author wanted to give it, nah. Maybe because they're too young and I'm too old and bitter. I still like it, it's just getting way too chill. The slice of life is way too slicing (?)

Amo muchísimo lo mucho que se apoyan Rintaro y Kaoruko, son solo adolescentes de 16-17 años, pero dicen cosas tan maduras y se nota que sus sentimientos son tan profundos que van más allá del "me salvaste".

Shohei es tan bueno con sus hermanitos y tan genial como amigo, espero que pronto encuentre lo que quiere hacer en el futuro aunque todos sabemos que haga lo que haga será asombroso.

¿Se nos viene el arco de la pareja secundaria? Saku ha dicho que no irá a la misma universidad que Subaru y parece que a ella eso le rompió el corazón. Sospecho que la razón por la que él decidió no ir a esa universidad tiene que ver con sus sentimientos hacia cierta chica de cabello plateado. Mmm.

[4.25] I loved seeing more of Kaoruko’s own wishes shine through, since she’s usually focused on others and it made her feel even more real. What stood out most is how clear it is where her kindness comes from, being surrounded by wonderful people, especially parents who set such a loving example, makes her warmth feel so genuine. The ending added another layer of sweetness with Usami’s family and the way everyone rallied around him, reminding him how cool he already is, was the perfect way to close the volume.

AAAAAHHHHHH KAORU HANA STOP MAKING ME CRY CHALLENGE. i would've killed for parents and academic advice like this back in 10th grade. i couldn't stop crying during this volume. i have a feeling usami's arc is going to be so relatable to me. ALSO SUBARU SAKU AAAAAAAAA YOU ARE SO REAL TO ME

Another volume that feels a little too uneventful for me; the "choosing a career" arc is a staple of most coming-of-age genres, but here they seem like relatively easy decisions that don't quite warrant the amount of heaviness the writing is trying to give them.

I’m convinced the author was put on this earth to cook and write absolute masterpieces. I EAT THIS SHIT UP!!!

5 ✨ stars

I can't give more of me to try to explain people why they should read this. If you don't do it, your lose.

Baby Kaoruko is so cute, and finally some insight about Usami and his family because I was starting to get annoyed that he was the only one we didn't get to know outside the group.

El mejor manga shoujo/slice of life que leí en mucho tiempo. Me parece completísimo y exactamente el tipo de historia que me enamora. Honestamente todos los tomos son un 5 estrellas.

Me encanta que son jovenes y disfrutan de su edad, pero tambien son bastantes maduros.

AAAA THIS WAS HEARTWARMING

I can't say anything more that I haven't said earlier, I love this group of friends and I want to be there.

Oh and I'm excited to see more of saku and subaru
