AHHH I DIDNT WANT THIS VOLUME TO END. I DONT WANT THIS MANGA TO END PERIOD. I put off finishing this volume for so long😭. Again another flawless volume. I love the friend group development and lore in this volume. Sakus lore was too sad😭😭 Im glad he met usami and rintaro and the others. Honestly the whole friend group, I am glad they met each other. They make each better and healed a part of themselves that was broken😭. Ayu man, loved her little development and really hope she can become the person she wants to be. ROOTING FOR YOU GIRL.
I really really REALLY LOVE RINTARO AND KAORU TOGETHER. THEY ARE JUST SO WHOLESOME AND ADORABLE. THEIR DATE WAS EVERYTHING AND THE MET UP WITH RINTAROS PARENTS HAD ME IN TEARS. I LOVE RINTAROS MOM.
The arcade scene was so cute. I LOVE MADOKA AND LOVE HOW EASILY SHE SLIPPED INTO THE FRIEND GROUP. Subaru and Saku😏 I SEE YOU GUYS. SAKU YOU AINT SLICK. I LITCH CHEERED WHEN SUBARU HIT THE SHOT. HOPEFULLY THE GANG CAN HANG OUT FREELY WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY A LOT. 😭

Es que no puedo esperar 2 meses a cada tomo, me purifica el alma cada que lo leo 😭, y bueno, varias posibles parejas secundarias que ME ENCANTAN, necesito más de ellos jejeje, y los padres de Rintaro merecen contar su historia también:')

I found the first couple of chapters really good and engaging, I think the art style lends to the general aura of cuteness.

However as the story progressed, I started to feel like it was essentially the same story being reiterated over and over again. The way conflicts are resolved is too easy, everyone is essentially too good and I just found it hard to believe at times.

okay amo este volumen que es esencialmente igual al resto de la historia que es increíblemente poco realista a la hora de solucionar conflictos y sana y empalagosa y es todo lo que necesito en este momento ☹️💗

This volume might not have had a ton going on plot-wise but wow, it was pure comfort from start to finish. Finally getting Kaoruko to meet Rintaro’s family was such a treat and I’m obsessed with how lovely his parents are. They have this effortless way of showing love that just radiates through every little thing they do. Instead of going for the cliché intimidating “meet the parents” moment, his dad went straight for what he does best & that’s making a cake just for Kaoruko. That gesture was so thoughtful and welcoming it honestly made my heart melt.

The whole volume had this cozy, warm glow to it and seeing the rest of the gang hanging out even without Rintaro and Kaoruko was such a nice touch. It really showed how much their friendships have grown beyond just being connected through the main couple.

Del capítol 70 al 77, aquest slice of life cada vegada més assossegat ens mostra com l'amistat femenina autèntica acaba prevalent per sobre de qualsevol conflicte i les dues colles es tornen a unir per fer-se més amics :3 La parella principal torna a tenir una cita cuquíssima i el Rintaro proposa a la Kaoruko de visitar la pastisseria familiar no com a clienta, sinó com a xicota ♥ (cosa que implica presentació formal a la mare i que comparteixin confidències a la voreta d'un dolç, més mones!!!!). A més, veiem uns flashbacks de quan el Rintaro era petit mentre els pares reflexionen com estan d'orgullosos del seu fill i com els encanta la xicota que els acaba de presentar. Un volum molt tendre i emotiu!

El pasado de Saku🥺, a veces los adultos sin darse cuenta con sus acciones y palabras terminan perjudicando a los jóvenes provocando que éstos terminen aislados.

"A mi la que me gusta eres tú, Kaoruko." Kaoruko toda preocupada y celosa porque Rintaro habló con otras chicas en el festival de su colegio sin darse cuenta que él solo tiene ojos para ella🤭
Keiichiro haciéndole un pastel a Kaoruko🥺 linda forma de agradecerle por estar con su hijo.
Amo mucho a los padres de Rintaro🫶🏻

Shohei, Ayato y Saku enseñándole a encestar a Hoshina y Madoka filmando todo. Me gusta que pasen tiempo juntos sin los protas, que sean amigos de verdad y no sólo por los otros dos.

Apenas perfeito, tem a junção de várias tropes de mangás shoujos, mas continua super legal. Primeiro a viagem escola, que mostra a aproximação entre o grupo de amigos das duas escolas e acho muito fofo ver como eles se aproximaram, apesar das diferenças. Segundo, uma festa de aniversário (da Subaru) que é uma personagem com muitas camadas e foi simplesmente muito fofo ver a evolução dela começar a se abrir mais pras pessoas e se permitir ter a experiência de novas coisas. E por último o surgimento do irmão do Rintarou, ele era uma incógnita, mas foi bom conhecer ele.

this volume made me feel everything

I cried because it hurt me pretty much the past of Saku, I love him soo much

then I laughed seeing kaoruko meeting rintaro's parents

and finally I smiled a lot with madoka and seeing how she is being part of the group and how Subaru is increasing her bond with the group.

MY HEART JUMPED WHEN SAKU ASKED SUBARU IF SHE WAS DOING OKAY AND IF SHE WANTED TO PLAY SOMETHING AAAAAA

[Afifahcookie · Rating 4 out of 5]

We got a glimpse of Natsusawa's past... Glad to see him open up to the boys at Chidori and end up with a close knit group of friends. And now that group includes Kaoruko, Subaru & Madoka as well. Lastly, I really enjoyed the few chapters that focused on Kaoruko meeting Rintaro's parents.

Story & Plot: 3 ⭐

Kaoruko came over to “greet” Rintaro’s parents and it’s cute that she’s like besties with his mom already lol. It’s great to see that both sides of parents support the relationship. This is definitely one of my feel good series. I keep trying to figure out who is gonna pair off with who among the friends. 😅

I've been enjoying this manga so, so much. I'm a little sad that we might have to wait a while under an english translation is published and available, but I'm sue it'll be worth the wait. So excited that they're making this into an anime! September can't come soon enough!

[B. Jean · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sometimes I think this is almost too wholesome. Like, it's almost not believable that teenagers would resolve conflict this well. Still a cute series though.
