Nozomi realizes her true feelings for Keiichi after being treated like hot garbage. We get yet another digression, this time into the past, after a quick jaunt over to New Year’s, and then the school trip looms with a plentiful pile of problems.
When I said My Senpai Is Annoying was the most average manga ever made, I had clearly forgotten about this classic retread of nearly every trope imaginable and some new stuff that I could do without.
I don’t think I’m predisposed to dislike high school boys (although that would explain a lot) as I think these four make a clear friend group that care for one another, as exemplified by the story of how they got together in the first place.
No, there are a couple of problems with Rainbow Days and it very rarely manages to overcome them with any sort of aplomb.
You can flash back to other reviews to see my views on Mari and Keiichi in particular, and those have not changed one jot. She’s an awful stereotype of ‘man-hating lesbian’ tropes and he’s a really bad example of BDSM, I don’t care how the story tries to frame it as being a good thing for Nozomi.
The other problem is how meandering this story is. It feels like every other volume just goes off on these tributaries of older material and flashbacks and dithering, like it’s bored of its own material.
The planning for the school trip and how Anna and Natsuki will deal with the no-chance rival who’s taking advantage of their glacial pace is the most interesting stuff and it requires wading through a lot to even get there.
As much as I see why we flash back to the guy’s getting together, it’s mostly just them bickering for fifty odd pages and, guess what, they already bicker off and on the entire series. It has a nicely emotional payoff, but it’s a long, long walk to get there.
It’s exhausting sometimes, reading this, which is a bummer. I think its heart is in the right place, but these characters aren’t as fun as I’d like them to be nor is it quite as modern as I’d like either. Occasional flashes of good keep saving it for me, so it’s not terrible, just not especially good.
3 stars - same as it ever will be, I think. I had hopes it might get better at the start, but I think this has settled in for the long haul in terms of what it wants to achieve, and how, and I’ll continue to enjoy it to a point.

Last time, I was glad we got more of the "Rainbow Days" of friendship and less focus on the romance. Here, it's a wild swing in the same direction, but not for the better. The girls barely show up. I got tired of the boys quickly, especially in their flashback, and wanted more of the romance to show up and make it interesting once we got back to present day. All the bickering was generic and not tied to their personalities outside of Naoe's otaku insecurity. This volume is also setting up the arc - the school trip - so not much really happens.
I don't know what to think about Mari and Matsunaga. I've approached them as being the "enemies to lovers" trope, but Mari's attachment to Anna challenges that with no confirmation of her actual romantic interest. She's in highschool and inexperienced. She could "hate boys" for that reason and feel safe with Anna, loving her as a soul sister platonically and also being incredibly jealous when Anna's attention is diverted. She may be (is) codependent on Anna and fears losing her. Or she could love her romantically and seriously have zero interest in the opposite sex, and the way I view Matsunaga and what the mangaka is doing differs greatly dependent on this. For the sake of enjoying the book and trying to make sense out of where the series seems to want to go, I've been sticking with enemies-to-lovers. It'd be nice for either better clarification or for Mari to show growth one way or another. Either realizing her true feelings for Anna or Matsunaga, or learning to stand on her own and not screeching like a cat and hiding behind Anna everytime he tries to talk to her...or teases her. I could be wrong, but I think we've seen that he's genuinely interested in her and does try to be kind, but gets the same reaction no matter what he does, so, being a high school boy, he resorts to teasing her (and I don't mean that in a dismissive boys-will-be-boys kind of way - highschool boys (and girls, too) can be incredibly immature, as we've seen repeatedly in this series). I'd like to see growth that points the reader in the direction of the Creator's intent for these two soon.

This volume focused on a lot of things I didn’t really enjoy. The way this mangaka is handling the budding BDSM relationship is… it’s like “I can see what you’re trying to do, I just don’t think you’re achieving it.” The flashback was mostly just annoying because all of the guys were being little shits to each other. And the less I have to read about Mattsun’s crush on the lesbian, the better.

The first chapter was about Nozomi finding about Keichi's sadist side, a glimpse of it in fact. The two other chapters about how the four guys became friends in first year. And the last one about the preparation for the Koyoto trip. A lovely volume in general.

Not my favorite volume but still a good one! We got to see how the boys met back when they were first years. They’re third years now! Time flies in this series so maybe we will see things past high school? I think there’s still 8 volumes to go??

Nous commençons ce tome huit avec la suite de la « romance » entre Kei et Nozomi. Je ne suis toujours pas convaincu par cette relation. J'aime beaucoup les deux personnages, cela n'a rien à voir avec eux et je serais même contente de les voir ensemble mais… Kei agit de façon assez tordu, et oui, je sais que ça fait partie de son caractère mais de là à vouloir faire souffrir l'autre… Nozomi, elle, s'investit beaucoup trop, dans le sens où elle est prête à limite tout laisser tomber pour être avec Kei. J'ai l'impression qu'elle renonce à elle, en un sens. Après, c'est sûrement moi qui me prends trop la tête avec ces deux-là !
Nous avons aussi un bref aperçu de la journée de la saint Valentin vu par Matsu et Mari. Au début, j'étais un peu perdue, car pour moi, c'était du passé et je me suis dit pendant quelques minutes que j'avais dû louper quelque chose… mais ensuite, j'ai trouvé cela intéressant. Surtout avec ces deux-là ! On voit que Mari évolue et elle me tape beaucoup moins sur les nerfs depuis quelques tomes, ce qui est un vrai soulagement.
La partie la plus intéressant réside tout de même dans le flash back qui nous raconte comment les garçons sont devenus amis. J'étais loin de m'imaginer cela. Pour moi, ils étaient potes depuis une éternité et je ne voyais pas le début de leurs relations commencer par des sentiments négatifs. Natsuki est celui qui a soudé tout ce petit monde, et c'est étonnant tout en étant une évidence en même temps. Ce garçon est juste adorable, ouvert et ne juge pas. C'est une crème… qui peut, contre tout attente, se mettre en colère ! Et rien que cela, ça vaut le détour ! C'est amusant de voir que leur dynamique repose en grande partie sur leurs différences et qu'il n'a suffit de pas grande chose pour les faire devenir les meilleurs amis du monde. Ce qui rend leur amitié encore plus spéciale à mes yeux.
La fin du tome me laisse de l'espoir, dans le sens où le voyage scolaire qui se prépare va peut-être faire bouger Natsuki. Nous sommes au tome huit, et il n'a toujours rien entrepris avec Anna… Mais une tierce personne pourrait changer la donne. Je n'ai pas trop d'inquiétude, vu que l'on connaît maintenant les sentiments d'Anna, mais la gentillesse et la maladresse de Natsuki pourrait tout faire capoter… On croise les doigts.

Temo di ripetermi, ma questa serie mi diverte tantissimo; questi ultimi capitoli per di più nono sono autoconclusivi come i precedenti, ma la storia principale procede e anche bene; ho apprezzato molto ciò. Mi è piaciuto tanto anche il flashback che racconta come i nostri quattro amici si sono incontrati e, come da tradizione, c'è un bel cliffhanger finale. Che bello, eh? E comunque, se volete una storia leggera e senza alcune pretese, dovete leggere Rainbow days.
