A lot of the usual storytelling. This is the part I hadn't read before, and I'm bored a bit, but still intrigued by the characters. What this story does do differently is get the main couple together early, and while his mind is made up, her insecurities are a big part of the problem.

How Takeru felt at the end of this volume, is exactly how I feel…. Ugh, too many misunderstandings and not enough relationship progress!!! What the heck!

Overall, I thought this was pretty cute. I liked that there was more Takeru and Kayano stuff, since the last volume was all about Takeru and Yuzu's troubles. Takeru and Kayano are just soo cute together. I like how he is constantly being mean to her, but you can tell that he's only teasing her and he cares. I liked the whole christmas time part of the manga. It was one of my favorite parts of the taiwanese drama. Though in the drama she knitted mittens instead of a scarf. I must admit, I liked the whole scenario in the drama itself better because it was sweeter. The scarf was good, but I loved seeing Mike accept Rainie's jenked up mittens in the drama better. Anyways, I still loved it. It was horrible how the guys were all mocking about hand-knitted gifts. Kayano was super embarrassed, but Takeru just pretended like it was his all along. Also, I loved later on when they moved in together and Takeru walked in on her changing. So hilarious!!

I'm excited to see where the plot will go next, even though I'm pretty sure that it'll be the exact same as the drama haha. Either way, it will be fun to see the differences with how the manga was translated into a drama. Also, as annoying as it can be, I'm hoping for some drama. From what happened in this volume, I'm fairly sure there is going to be some kind of love square going on haha.

PS: I hate the grandma..Gahh! She's making all these problems for Takeru and Kayano's relationship!

Confessing to the person you like is never easy, having the attention seeking Edogawa Tekeru know who you like is even worse. Kayano thought high school was going to be hard enough but take on running errands for Takeru and it is almost unbearable especially when their parents are getting married and they have to move in with one another.

I loved the storyline development and growth of the characters. This is a series that I was really excited about reading. The romance does not start at the beginning but it grows stronger because of everything the couple has to overcome and go through. Kayano is a lovable personality and even though most people do not like Takeru in the beginning, he grows on you too.

Note: This review was completed after reading volumes 1-11.

Creo que mi principal problema con este manga son los giros argumentales...
