How I Met My Soulmate, Vol. 5

運命の人に出会う話 [Unmei no Hito ni Deau Hanashi] #5

by Anashin

After searching for a long time, Iori finally reunites with his older brother, Ibuki. It seems that all of their misunderstandings have been resolved, but Ibuki remains mysteriously aloof. What is the “true relationship” between Iori and Airi? What does it mean to be destined for one another? And why does Yuuki feel so apprehensive?

ngl the volumes are not readily available at any of my libraries so each new volume i always forget the plot… until i read and the drama sucks me right back in. omg talk about love complications!!

[Keiko the manga enthusiast ♒︎]

All I can remember is the giggle that bursts out of my mouth every single time.

Sensei, don’t annoy me anymore. Just get Airi and the brother together already!

[warda]

IT WAS JUST GETTING GOOOD NNOOO😫

[rita ✨]

I was going to wait for a few more volumes to be out but I really wanted to keep going, I just really love these characters and I wanted more of them. Now guess what? I'm stuck waiting MONTHS for the next one, I am so upset. Give me my meddling besties back, I am not asking for much.

Suddenly my cold dead heart isn't so cold nor dead anymore.

WHY IS THE BROTHER SO ANNOYING DKBFJS

[Mary]

Tbh I think Airi's feelings has changed, seeing how much she wished for Ibuki to come back. I just beg that Yuuki just talk to Iori and don't go the "I'll break up with you for your own good" route because IT WILL BE A DISASTER. MY HEART COULDN'T TAKE IT

[Jess | jadecanread]

UGH I'VE MISSED THESE FOOLS SO MUCH. The art is absolutely stunning and so cute, the plot is a little messy, but there's some slow relationship developments!

Recap: Airi and Iori and Ibuki's backstory, Yuuki's second time, hairstylist running their mouth, Iori gives Yuuki a key to his place, Seno decides to get a job and thinks about moving on, Ibuki tells Yuuki about their history, she goes drinking with her friend, Seno, and co. She's crying and when she leaves, Seno follows to make sure she's alright. We see Iori actually intervenes, they talk it out, Airi meets up with Yuuki the next day, Ibuki's trying to dip without seeing Airi, they plan glamping to force Ibuki to talk to Airi. Seno shows up lmao.

Un’altra tappa piacevole nel viaggio di Yuuki e Iori

Il quinto volume di “Era destino che ti incontrassi” conferma il suo stile dolce e rilassante.
Il rapporto tra i protagonisti si fa via via più naturale e tenero, e questo rende la lettura scorrevole e piacevole.
I disegni restano uno dei motivi principali per cui continuo a leggere: delicati, eleganti e sempre pieni di atmosfera.
Un volume che non delude, anzi, accompagna con garbo chi ama il romanticismo più sottile.

Oh damn... Iori and Yuuki are the cutest, but I'm so ready for some angst. Happy to see Seno bringing some chaos in this (maybe, we can imagine).

And also... Ibuki what's your deal really ???!

I feel this Vol. 5 was a big setup for Vol.6 which I cannot wait to read now!!

Rating: 4.5

After so long Volume 5 is finally here and I'm so ready for the glamping drama that will happen in volume 6. Honestly this stupid mess with the brother and Ari is kind of annoying for no reason. I love the drama, but I'm also like y'all are so stupid. I'm hoping a lot of this gets resolved in volume 6. Love the tension between Seno and Iori, though. Seno should really give up because Iori is great and I love him and Yuki together, but Seno is so cute. Hopefully he finds his perfect match at some point in the series and doesn't get tossed to the side or thrown together with some rando.

I really don’t have much to say. This volume was ok. Nothing extraordinary but nothing absolutely horrendous either. I will say Seno was pretty irritating in this volume and the drama with Ibuki and Airi seems so unnecessary but I mostly still appreciate what Yuuki and Ioris relationship represents.

[Claudia]

Seno get out. Someone can't take no for an answer and it's infuriating.

[respiroletterario]

Questo quinto volume di "Era destino che t'incontrassi" mi è piaciuto tantissimo, per me è un volume coccola, pieno di dolcezza. Ci sono così tanti momenti emozionanti, dolci e delicati che mi hanno tenuta incollata alle pagine.

Le dinamiche tra Iori e Yuuki si fanno sempre più intense, le loro emozioni si fanno sempre più forti. La loro storia si sta evolvendo, è una vera esplorazione dei sentimenti, delle paure e delle paranoie che entrambi devono affrontare. Ogni passo che fanno insieme, anche se piccolo, è significativo, e questo li rende ancora più reali. Adoro Yuuki, lei è la dolcezza fatta in persona. I personaggi secondari sono bene caratterizzati, non sono solo di contorno, ma ognuno di loro ha un ruolo importante che arricchisce la storia.

I disegni sono stupendi, si percepiscono le emozioni nei volti dei personaggi.

Il mio voto è il seguente: 4,25 stelline su 5.

Rounding up. Ok, so for whatever reason, I keep screwing up the order I read this in, so now 6 makes a lot more sense. <⁠(⁠￣⁠︶⁠￣⁠)⁠↗ The situation with Airi and Ibuki is a convoluted mess using the non-communication and "I'll decide how you feel and just leave" plot devices. If these people would just talk to each other... Anyway, these tropes ate useful but they seem unnecessarily muddy here, especially since their drama is affecting other people. But the rest of the volume is spectacular as usual. Anashin is so good at making characters worth caring about and her art is clean and beautiful. I won't say any more since I've read 6 and don't want to accidentally give anything away. Good volume, though. We get much needed context.

4.5/5
I love this manga
The next book is so exciting !!
I really praised Yuki for her communication skills with Iori at the start of the manga but this book she lacked it. Just my personal opinion but it was frustrating at times. Seno not giving up is fun for the story but realistically she made her choice let it go. Really excited see where the series goes!!

[Kelli]

“We’ll laugh together, cry together, even get mad at each other sometimes. And then someday, all of that will make what we have special.” That’s actually so romantic and so lovely~

[Kaity ♡]

Drama at glamping coming up! 😅 Aw, man, this one was emotional. :/ I don’t know where this is going but I really like Yuuki and Iori together. 🥲

[**Sognatrice di libri**]

Continuo a trovare questa storia molto carina e dolce anche se in questo volume l'ho trovata un pò diciamo dispersiva.

[VoyagedeFumiko]

Et je m'arrête sur ce tome. En soit, ça reste une lecture agréable. J'aurais sûrement continué il y a 10ans, ou peut-être si je n'avais pas lu de shojos récemment. C'est du vu et revu, donc ça fonctionne mais je suis un peu lassée. je trouve aussi que certains aspects sont vraiment tirés par les cheveux.

[Sophia Paul]

BROTHER IS NO LONGER SUS. seno is but its ok but iori is SO DOWN BAD FOR HIS GIRL he is going to fight. love how yuki is also so in love with her man but is also more in love with setting up her besties. true girls girl. PLEASE LET AIRI AND IBUKI BE HAPPy.

3.5/5 ⭐️

[Wednesday Sierra]

It’s getting a bit boring unfortunately because I really want to like this manga, but I’m gonna need some drama soon otherwise I don’t think I’ll continue it :/
