El león de marzo, vol. 7

3月のライオン [Sangatsu no Lion] #7

by Chica Umino, Yasuko Tojo (Translator)

Rei gana el título Shinjinô pero se siente impotente porque cree que no está haciendo suficiente por ayudar a Hina que está siendo víctima de acoso escolar. En el instituto, Hina hace de tripas corazón para enfrentarse al acoso. Mientras los pensamientos de ambos se entrecruzan, la historia dará un nuevo giro. “¿Qué es la auténtica bondad?”, es una pregunta que dirijo a los lectores. Una historia tierna en la que gente diversa va recuperando algunas cosas.

Such a beautiful volume! I feel like dying so devastatingly and being reborn in the most wonderful way. I can't wait to see the next volume because of the cliffhanger!

[Nicolo]

Volume 7 rides on the afterglow of the sublime finish of Volume 6. The first few chapters basically serve as an epilogue to the last volume. It also ends the bullying arc in a way handled superbly by the author. This is another great volume.

[Leonor]

Por fin termina el arco del acoso escolar que sufre Hina... Kiriyama participa en el torneo de novatos, y luego le toca realizar una partida conmemorativa con Sôya Meijin.
Este tomo fue reconfortante, me hizo derramar más de alguna lágrima.

日本人不霸凌是不是就不會過日子啦

[Wordsworn]

I really liked how the SECOND teacher finally handled the bullying situation! He took a really firm hand there, and refused to back down or be intimidated. I'm also really glad that it was made clear that the person being bullied hadn't done anything wrong--I loved seeing Hinata's open defiance about that, about how she would never regret her kindness to a classmate, which resulted in her being bullied instead once that classmate moved away. It was also great to see that classmate recovering as well. (You can do it, Chiho-chan! I hope Hinata does get to come visit you over summer vacation!)

The shogi plotline is getting interesting, too--I'm SUPER interested to see how Rei fares against Souya, who seems like a real enigma. And yet, I agree that there is something about them that's somehow similar, so I think they'll play well together. :) Looking forward to that a lot in Vol. 8!

“Il mondo non gira solo grazie ai buoni risultati.”

È difficile non dare cinque stelle a questo manga così poetico!

[Toni Ramírez]

Un volum emotiu que, entre altres temes, parla d'assetjament escolar amb una profunditat poc habitual i sorprenent en un manga generalment amable

[Arsnoctis]

Non so perché, ma questo albetto mi è sembrato lungo il triplo degli altri - le dimensioni confermano che si tratti di un'illusione - in ogni caso, un altro numero gradevole.

[Andrea Itziar]

Otro tomo precioso. Me ha encantado cómo la autora ha llevado la historia de Hina.

🥺💜

[Aleksandra]

another wonderful volume.

[Léa]

Un tome très beau et émouvant, avec notamment la fin de la partie de harcèlement de Hana.
March comes in like a lion est vraiment une série au top, douce, triste et drôle par moment.

[Ali Minaj]

Kapagini sevdim.. (zaten kaydetmistim)

[Khari]

面白く過ぎて、ずっと読んで感想文が書けなかった！

零君すみません！

[Leandro Dutra]

Still very good, I just feel it lost some of its force in this volume.
