OMG! The Kasahara x Dojo is rich in this one! And, that is just fine with me. As a matter of fact, I love that. I really want to see more of it. (I am being such a fangirl.)

But, fangirling is OK. She kissed him! And, promised to come back later to openly tell him her true feelings. What more could you want?!?

[Mary · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well shit....now I have to wait 6 months for the next book. I don't read scans...so this will be difficult. Holy crap. Release this book sooner!


And now I understand why Iku kissed Dojo in the trailer (or at least, they quickly blacked it out) omg I need to watch this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was so faced paced and gave you just the right amount of drama. Iku had an idea; a crazy outlandish but yet brilliant idea. Now the library is set to try and see it through in hopes of protecting an author’s right to create and write books however he wants. This issue is that they are are being chased by MBA members in an effort to destroy their hopes. This ending was amazing and I need to read the last volume!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. ROAD TRIP OF AWESOMENESS AND FEAR. LONG LIVE THE BOOKSTORE.

[Mehsi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Re-read 2021: OMG THIS VOLUME!! *flails* It was just perfect! Some harrowing moments, some moments that had me rooting for the characters, and tons of action but also a moment that had me going YAS and then crying because it was time. It was high time and I was so proud and happy. I love it! I cannot wait to see how the series will end (it's been too long that I remember it though things do come back while reading this).


-----------------------------------------
Not planning on writing a review, I just want to say a few words. OMG the event I was waiting for since book 1 finally happened in this one! And it was so beautiful, and during such a sad moment that I cried. :( It was perfection. *is still sniffling* I can't wait until the next volume, which is also the last one! *can't wait for next year*

ROAD TRIP DREAM TEAM

[Laura A. Grace · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have to laugh because almost every book I’ve been like, “This one is my favorite!” only to say the next time, “No, this is my favorite!”

That would be true once again with this volume. So very good! Fantastic action, but with great humor, romance, and FEELS! Also, a great plot twist with that one person.

I loved loved loved hearing about who Dojo was when first joining LF. That was gold! That whole scene was moving and touching (aka the whole entire novel if I’m honest).

One of the best volumes in the series and have greatly enjoyed seeing all these characters grow. So so so much growth and It makes my heart happy. <3

[Kai Charles(Fiction State Of Mind) · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really love this series. It has a lot of thought provoking elements about censorship and freedom of speech. In this volume our heroes are trying to get an author to sanctuary after being ordered to not write for a year in a court case. These puts the library forces in danger as they are shot at, encounter road blocks and other dangers. The romance between Dojo and Iku also takes a major step forward as the two face dangers together.

A very solid volume that leaves me wanting the next volume asap!

IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS, I QUIT!

[K · Rating 4 out of 5]

THEY KISSED THEY KISSED THEY KISSED. Dojo better be fine tho bc if this series ends with him dying I’m losing it. One more book!

[Ashley (Tiny Navajo Reads) · Rating 5 out of 5]

‘Bout damn time!

They finally kissed! I can now finally rest... Kidding, I must continue and see if they get Toma to safety!

[Natalie S · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's coming down to the end, and you can feel it!!!!

[Wordsworn · Rating 4 out of 5]

SHE FINALLY KISSED HIM, BLESSED BE. °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° (And I gotta say that I really love that she was the one who took the initiative.)

It took 14 volumes, but Iku finally came out with it, at least sort of, haha. And it looks like she's finally gonna confess her (obvious) feelings to (the equally-obvious) Dojo in the next book. :]

In the meantime, GO KASAHARA GO! DRIVE TOMA TO FREEDOM! WE ALL BELIEVE IN YOU! (^▽^)ᕗ

This series keeps getting better and better. This volume made me cheer out loud. Never did I expect to get so wrapped up in a shojo manga, but the great premise and characters, the surprising action, and the struggling romance making me say "Aargh!!" got me good. SO good. Two more volumes, and I'm dreading the series having to end, but I wanna read the rest RIGHT NOW.

[Katt Hansen · Rating 5 out of 5]

No no no no no.

You CANNOT leave me with this kind of cliffhanger and then tell me the last book of the series won't be out for several months. How do you expect me to survive this?

Readers be warned. This is NOT a good stopping place for any length of time. Everything is coming to a head and it's all messy and scary and oh my goodness, what am I going to do for the next three months?

3.8

Yes. This is the penultimate I believe and I can't wait for the next. Yeah, there was some development in this book in both the plot and the romance.

:D

Gara-gara tidak ada kabar berita ni komik kelanjutannya bakal bisa diterbitin di Indonesia padahal udah suka banget nget, akhirnya mutusin beli versi bahasa Inggris pas ada diskon 25% dari Per****s. Gapapa deh mahal...habis nanggung banget kurang 2 seri lagi malah ga nongol2.
Meski udah nonton filmnya n tahu endingnya gimana, teteeepp harus punya bukunya!!

Cerita masih berlanjut mengenai rencana menyelamatkan si Penulis Toma, yang akhirnya oleh Mahkamah Agung diputus bahwa untuk 1 tahun selama dilakukan penyelidikan mengenai penyerangan yang terjadi terhadapnya, Toma dilarang menulis. Langsung saat itu juga tim Doujo langsung berusaha membawa Toma ke kedutaan besar negara lain yang bersedia menerima suaka. Sayangnya pasukan Penyelamatan Media juga sudah menduga hal yang sama, makanya terjadi kejar-kejaran. Sampe2 si Letnan Doujo kena tembak dan harus pisahan sama Iku karena demi menyelamatkan Toma, mereka harus ke kedutaan yang ada di Osaka. Tapi sebelum pisah, Iku tanpa sadar malah bikin pengakuan ke Doujo...hehehe...
Yang pasti bisa ketemu lagi sama pasangan kiyut ini bikin hepi ^w^

[David Basora · Rating 4 out of 5]

Holy crap! Admission of love (sort of), and Dojo got shot! The MBC really don't care, they shot into a crowd, in the rain. There is only one book left, so I don't have my hopes too high for a lot of resolution, because there is still so much action. But i have to say, this series has been highly enjoyable because of the balance of action, romance, and relevant plot. The supporting characters have just as much depth as the main characters, with Shibazaki and Tezuka being particularly fun to follow. One thing I will be looking for in the last book is to see if the elder Tezuka is truly a villain or not. I think he is, just a treacherous fox lying in wait, but we'll see.

[Sarah Ryder · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh. My. Goodness! I don’t think I breathed through the whole volume, it was so tense and exciting and downright AHHHHHH!!!!!! at a certain part (keeping vague because spoilers, but if you’ve read this you probably know what I’m talking about!).

Not to mention THINGS happened between Iku and Dojo that had me silently squealing (because I read this at 10 pm and everyone was asleep, haha) and it was just so, so good and EMOTIONAL! I just love all these characters so much. 🥰🥰 Though Tezuka and Shibazaki need to have more faith in Iku, bwahaha! Though with her driving I can see why they wouldn’t… 😬😂

So sad it’s almost over, but I just can’t stop reading! So good!

Content: violence, gun fights, and blood (nothing over PG-13); a character is shot; a kiss

In Volume 14, there was a lot of suspense building up in this volume for the series finale in the final book. Our heroes, Iku and Dojo, are tasked with helping an author to escape the hands of the MBC. In the process, Dojo is shot by members of the MBC and with the help of Iku, saves him by getting him out of the rain and into some shelter. Dojo then asked Iku to leave with the author and go to Osaka to see one of the consulates. Does she make it? I guess we find out at the last volume.
