I LOVE THESE TWO SO SO MUCH

"If she isn't smiling, nothing else matters".
Healthy conflict resolution. Real life issues. Even realistically drawn characters. We love it. This is prime slice-of-life manga.

I was very worried about Satsuki compared to when Hasegawa was introduced.
Sure, both gave off some vibes that they would come in between Akane & Yamada romantically. But... That turned out to be wrong. In Hasegawa's case, he already had his sights on someone else. In Satsuki's case, she respects their relationship & immediately put Yamada out of the dating pool. Also loved how Satsuki tried her best to put Akane at ease.
It was very heartwarming to see Yamada step up for his loved ones. Same goes for Akane.
I also sympathised with Akane over her relationship worries (which were mainly in her head). However, both Akane & Yamada perfectly complements each other.

This volume was so full of angst and doubt😭. Akane, please don’t become controlling and insecure, Yamada only has eyes for you and you only. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE HE LOVES.
That Satsuki girl, I don’t trust at all. She gonna try break them up I just know it.
Yamada and his lines😭😭, “If she isnt smiling there is no point” and “I am madly in love with you”. 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭. The way he got sick just to assure that Akane keeps smiling and is happy😭😭 Take of yourself too love. I also love how he squashed any misunderstandings quickly instead of them dragging out and becoming bigger than they need to be.
Overall this volume is a lower tier 5 star because of the misunderstandings and doubt but still a 5 star nonetheless

Ufffff, sip, el senpai es desesperante, pero la senpai es chida. Agradezco MUCHÍSIMO que existan personajes capaces de limitarse.
Te amo Yamada. Akane, serías mi modelo a seguir si no me hubiese quedado tan traumada con las relaciones románticas jajajaja 🌸

Hubo algo de drama finalmente, pero me pareció tierno igual. Amamos la solución de problemas mediante la comunicación, sí.

Je n'ai pas les mots pour dire à quel point j'aime cette histoire. Cela faisait vraiment longtemps que je n'avais pas été aussi happée par un shojo !

Really loved this one. It was nice seeing some vulnerability from Akane, along with character growth on her part. She still has fears to work through, and because communication game is strong in this series, she doesn't hold on to it alone for long. You go, girl! So strong <3 Was neat to see more of Yamada's perspective on things as well. Plus just maturity all around, it's so good ;o; <3

While Akane is encouraging of Yamada to expand his friend group and meet up with others, she is surprised by her reaction when she sees him with another woman. Her fears bubble to the surface as she tries to push away the doubt and trust in her boyfriend.
Akane also goes to visit her family, checking in on her mother, and deepening her understanding and bond with her sister. While Akane is making more frequent trips to her family on the weekends, her and Yamada end up making time for dates online.
One weekend, as Yamada is helping a friend move, however, it seems the busy schedule catches up with him and he catches a cold, leading to Akane finally having the chance to properly meet and speak with Satsuki.
Satsuki's character is another lovely one. Goodness, I'm glad the 'drama' in this series is so...normal. Everyone is adults, nothing is blown out of proportion, there is healthy communication, respect and understanding for past traumas, and genuine care from everyone. I appreciate that she brought up how boundaries and restrictions can be unhealthy at times. (It is definitely at /minimum/ a yellow flag if your partner doesn't want you hanging around with others out of jealousy! So I don't blame everyone for assuming Yamada was in a not-so-great situation.) I was leaning that direction with Akane, getting a little nervous about it, though it seems like something she's be able to work through. I'm glad relationships, including friendships, are treated so maturely in this series. Satsuki definitely seems like she'll be a great friend for Akane. :) (I also loved the group of them getting together and reaffirming Satsuki that she is an awesome person and deserved better than her trash ex.)
Momo is also a queen. We stan women who protect women.
Also must I say as usual that the art is just wonderful. Gosh, some panels I just sit on because they are so pretty. Even simple ones seem to have gotten so much attention and care. Such inspiring work for sure!

YAMADA CASATE CONMIGO
August 14, 2025
The way they handled the misunderstandings this time around was flawless. No dragged-out drama, no frustrating silence just two people who genuinely want to understand each other. It’s so rare to see a romance where communication feels this natural & full of care and I loved every second of it.
Akane’s moment with her jealousy hit me hard, because it was so real. She had that flash of insecurity and honestly, who wouldn’t? Those feelings aren’t easy to just shake off but instead of letting it poison things, she took a step back, reflected and came back stronger. That maturity made her relationship with Yamada feel even more solid, like they’re both choosing to nurture what they have instead of letting fear chip away at it. As for Yamada—oh my god, Yamada… when they asked if she was being controlling, his answer just knocked the air out of me. He didn’t get defensive or dismissive, he just calmly said it didn’t bother him and then, instead of making it about himself, he said as long as Akane’s smiling, nothing else matters. TEARS IN MY EYES RN !!!
This volume is a perfect mix of realistic emotions and the kind of romance that makes you believe in patient, intentional love. I swear, these two bring me pure happiness.
