O "jogo de amor" entre Sayo e Kiriyama continua, com os dois mergulhados no prazer que seus encontros proporcionam, mas quando sentimentos começam a se manifestar, como eles vão lidar com isso?
⠀⠀
Mesmo que o acordo entre os dois não envolvam sentimentos, é impossível deixar de sentir algo quando eles passam tanto tempo juntos, e Kiriyama acaba percebendo que sua relação está ficando "pessoal" demais, mudando de atitude e tratando-a como um objeto, o que acaba a magoando.
⠀⠀
Após o ocorrido, uma viagem de treinamento de 2 dias reúne todos os funcionários da empresa, e Sayo não deixa de ser reconhecida por sua eficiência no escritório, além de escutar alguns comentários, mas que não lhe afetam por conta das palavras que Kiriyama sempre diz e lhe deram força.
⠀⠀
Os dois arranjam um tempo para conversar e Sayo expressa suas opiniões a respeito do último encontro deles, levando a um momento decisivo para a relação até então, onde Kiriyama acaba cedendo, sendo sincero sobre o que quer, e ambos ficam de mútuo acordo sobre o que procuram. No entanto, uma certa decisão de Sayo a respeito da conduta de Kiriyama, pode lhe trazer futuros problemas.
⠀⠀
O volume também traz um capítulo que nos mostra a época de universitário do Kiriyama, onde podemos entender sua visão a respeito de relacionamentos amorosos.

I yearn for this art, really neat. I hope it won't be the cliche story about the male lead having a tragic past, being hurt etc etc.

Après deux tomes qui m’avaient convaincue, je n’ai pas attendu avant de lire ce tome 3 quelques heures après l’avoir acheté !

Sayo et Kiriyama sont tous les deux d’accord sur un point : pas d’engagement et pas de sentiments. Sauf qu’il ne suffit pas de décider quelque chose pour réussir à s’y tenir…

Ils vont hésiter à poursuivre leur relation et ce n’est pas leur voyage d’entreprise qui va les aider à se décider.

Le prochain volume sortira le 6 décembre et je ne manquerai pas de me le procurer à sa sortie pour connaître la suite donnée à leur histoire ! ♥

Sayo se siente mas segura con respecto a que ya no le afectan los comentarios de los demás, en cierta parte por la forma en que la trata Kiriyama, que es un distinta a como la habían tratado anteriormente.
Hay una escena donde Kiriyama actúa en una forma en que a Sayo no le gusto, me agrado que ella en la siguiente ocasión se lo menciona y pone las cosas en claro, eso me agrada de ella.

En cuanto a Kiriyama, y tomando en cuanta el extra de este tomo, pareciera que la primera impresión de Sayo es la correcta, a mi el aun no me termina de agradar del todo, pero porque yo tengo otras ideas para una relación (sin tomar en cuenta el físico), por lo que no seria mi tipo.
Lo que si le doy a favor, es que el pone las cosas claras desde el principio, que el tipo de relaciones que maneja, a mi parecer este tipo de relaciones, puramente sexuales, la gran mayoría de las veces puede generar una idea equivocada en uno de los involucrados. Por ejemplo en las relaciones de Kiriyama, siento que ahí el no tiene la culpa del todo, si no la otra persona es la que se esta autoengañando.
Creo que tenemos mucho la idea, de que uno puede cambiar a la persona, o que conmigo será diferente, y no es que sea imposible, pero es mas raro.
Creo que con Sayo, esta empezando a cambiar algo, pero siento que el también no sabe interpretar lo que la esta pasando o sintiendo. Por el momento aun no se podría definir en si seria un sentimiento mas tierno, o solo posesividad.

Fazit: Der dritte Band schwächelt

Das Cover ist wieder recht anzüglich. Dem Zeichenstil bleibt Nishikata aber treu.

Wie auch in den vorherigen Bänden, bleibt der Zeichenstil so, wie er war.
Einzig und das ist es, was mich an dem Manga stört, ist der fehlende Text. Es wird in dem Manga mehr über Bilder gesprochen bzw. es wird versucht, sodass die tatsächliche Lesezeit gesunken ist.

Letztlich soll dieser Manga den Plot in der Hinsicht voran bringen, dass beide nun irgendwie merken, das sie den anderen brauchen. Ehrlich gesagt, war das auch schon alles, denn Band drei hat sehr viele Sex Szenen und dabei sprechen die Charaktere nicht. Ihre Gedanken liest man leider auch viel seltener, was mich leider etwas enttäuscht hat. Der zweite Band hat sehr gute Ansätze gezeigt, die in diesem Band wieder rückläufig waren.

Leider kann ich dadurch zum Inhalt weniger schreiben, außer, dass nun beide beruflich nicht mehr so viel zu tun haben und sich nun größtenteils nach der Arbeit sehen. Darüber hinaus gibt es einen Streit, bei dem beide alles in Frage stellen.

Insgesamt bin ich also doch recht enttäuscht davon, dass in diesem Band sehr viel mehr Wert auf den Sex gelegt wurde, als auf alles andere. Ich hoffe dieser „Durchhänger“ hält nicht an und Band vier hat dann inhaltlich mehr zu bieten.

Attention cet article est déconseillé aux mineurs on y parle entre autre de positions sexuelles.

Kiriyama fait porter ses fringues à Sako. Il est content de lui.

« Il n'a pas une once de moralité »

Sako juge Kiriyama avec férocité. N'est ce pas ce que font tout les amoureux?

Kiriyama passe ses journées à fantasmer sur Sako, et ses soirées à réaliser ses fantasmes…

Plus on avance plus on voit que Kiriyama est pour l'instant le seul à être prêt à s'engager.

Je ne vous cache pas j'ai bugué sur certaines images et que ça a réveillé ma libido.
(Image dans le blog...)

J'aime beaucoup ce genre de position dévouée au plaisir féminin.

Sako a le gémissement facile. : –)

Sako pense que ce n'est qu'un jeu pour Kiriyama. Elle se trompe tellement…
(Voir image blog...)

Ou les positions un peu « en cuillère » ..

Avec la fille qui « se laisse faire » et au rôle du mec de lui donner du plaisir.

Je vous laisse un peu de suspens.

J'ai adoré même si j'avais très peur que l'intérêt décline, ce n'est pas le cas. Bien sûr ce n'est que mon avis personnel!

Une dernière pour le route…
(Image sur le blog..)

On a l'impression que Kiriyama se satisfait de n'importe quelle situation pourvue qu'elle soit accompagnée de sexe.

This volume was probably my least favorite. The stakes are getting higher and feelings are eventually going to hurt.

Sayo continues to question Ryoichi motives and intentions, it's getting to the point where I think she thinks too much (but that is me). Ryoichi is starting to bite back. It's bound to happen right? When someone continues to push you away and put you in your place, you are nothing, but a sex partner, well, you can cross some boundaries.

I didn't really like Ryoichi in this volume. As much as Sayo frustrates me, I didn't appreciate him hurting Sayo to save face. I do LOVE the fact that Sayo stood up for herself and basically told him, "hey what you did wasn't right" You go girl!

Alas, just when I think the "couple" is going forward, they take two steps back. Sigh. There was ZERO resolution nor any relationship growth in this volume. Kind of disappointing.

I REALLY didn't like the bonus chapter too. Why would I want to read about Ryoichi having sex with another girl? Sure, she's an ex and it's to show why he is the way he is (a SUPER man whore), but gross!

NOTE: if you would prefer to read this series online, this volume contains chapters (or plays) 10-13 (plus an extra in Ryoichi's POV before he joined the company).

I really like Sayo and how sex positive she is. After a romp at a hotel where Ryoichi treats her body like an object/toy, she makes it clear that their game will end permanently if that kind of sex is what he desires. She asserts that she felt violated and that she will only engage in a sexual relationship where she is able to enjoy the act and that it is good, not for her to be an outlet for Ryoichi's frustrations. As for Ryoichi, he's a player, which isn't a quality that I like about him, but I can appreciate that he is honest about his appetite and that he is only down if there are no feelings involved (in the extra, not to Sayo).

Firstly, you go Sayo for telling Ryoichi off (his hot and cold nature was getting annoying/downright scary at that hotel). Secondly, I've got some quick Q's:

1.Is this the end of the Friends with the capital "F" game/are they pressing restart... like embarking on a real relationship?
2.Is that kid with Ryoichi's former fling his kid and that's why that woman texted him out out of the blue?
3.Is Ryoichi playing a game with Sayo/all the readers when he's seemingly missing Sayo's scent/"making love" to her?

Also, found out this series is either on hiatus or never got released in my language.... so... don't mind me, dangling off the cliff while being scared of heights...

me esta gustando un monton este manga!primero por la forma adulta en la que piensan los personajes. segundo por mostrar esas situaciones comunes. aqui no hay magia.
y la protagonista...se da cuenta en todo momento de la personalidad de el, o sea que no romantiza nada!
e incluso se da cuenta que es ella la que pierde el juego cuando nota que se comienza a enamorar!procesa, llora y se levanta...
tambien vemos el por que de él en su pasado, pero sin justificar...lo malo ? es que no hay mas publicaciones.eso significa: otro manga en eterna espera...

Kiriyama ha actuado de una forma que de cierta manera ha cambiado ciertas cosas en Sayo, ella sabe que sus palabras la empoderamiento y los comentarios de que ella es muy masculina ya no le afectan como antes, pero siente que algo más está pasando en ella.
Kiriyama actuó de una manera muy brusca y esto molestó a Sayo y se lo hace saber a Kiriyama en el viaje de la empresa....será que el juego ha llegado a su fin ?

La historia es un tanto simple y se ve a leguas hacia donde va todo, pero me gusta al final del día.
Le doy crédito por la protagonista, me agrada su actitud y su personalidad es consistente. El protagonista masculino me desespera y es uno más del montón, puntos menos.
En general, está bien para pasar el rato, que venga el tomo 4 😉

So... I've watched an episode of my favourite anime this morning and then, I was in the mood for some smutty manga.

Hence.

You got these two co-workers being involved in a FWB. So far, three volumes in, barely anything is monumentally revealed and our hero is one of the most stoic male lead in manga ever. I couldn't tell what the hell he's thinking at all.

Best volume so far and that’s mainly because of the emotional stuff that happened with both characters. Genuinely thought they’d end the agreement for a bit after the conflict that happened in this volume. Overall I wish we’d drop the I dint have feelings for you shtick but I guess we’re hanging on to that premise for a while now.

Eppur mi piace un sacco. Anche se non sono ancora riuscita a farmi un'idea di Kiriyama, specialmente dopo quello che succede in albergo. O dopo che lui continua a sniffare la camicia che ha indossato lei.

Just another great entry. I am getting excited cause now it seems like most of the set up is done and we are going to get more and more into the plot and conflict now. I can't wait for the next volume.

I liked this one. Growing emotions, interesting situation I feel is going to soon explode. The bonus chapter of how he came to work for the company and his previous situationship was good background into his present character as well
