3.5/5
¡Mucho mejor que el anterior!
Ya que al parecer es verano, este volumen se centra en una competencia de natación entre Ami y Taiga, ya que la primera invita a Ryuuji a pasar el tiempo a solas en su casa de verano. Y, por supuesto, Taiga no puede dejar que esto suceda así nada más. Prácticamente, quien resulte ganadora podrá ‘reclamar’ a Ryuuji como suyo.
Sin embargo, Taiga tiene un par de problemas: en primera instancia no sabe nadar, y tampoco quiere que se den cuenta de que sus pechos no han crecido en un año. Su estatura y su ‘falta de desarrollo’ la hacen ver mucho más infantil de lo que quisiera, a comparación de la modelo que no deja de restregarle este hecho continuamente.
De cualquier forma, Ryuuji auxilia a Taiga y aunque tiene todas las de perder, hace lo que puede para ganar. Pese a ello, la competencia pasa a segundo plano cuando, tras recibir un golpe en la cabeza y quedar medio inconsciente, Ryuuji la escucha gritar un claro “¡No se le acerquen! Ninguno de ustedes, idiotas. ¡Ryuuji es mío!” Y así, el asunto queda zanjado.
Al final del volumen, Minori, Kitamura y los demás se invitan a la casa de verano de Ami, así que en esas mini-vacaciones veremos cómo se estrecha la relación entre Ryuuji y Taiga.
Ahora bien, lo que me gustó de este volumen es que podemos ver como Taiga no le es indiferente a Ryuuji. Él acepta que la quiere y que desea permanecer a su lado, aunque de momento siguen siendo sólo amigos. Y, si me preguntan a mí, está claro que es el único que puede soportar su mal humor y sus múltiples facetas. Taiga no es una persona fácil de sobrellevar y, sin embargo, hace lo posible para ayudarle, para hacerla sentirse parte de un círculo que no la juzga.
En definitiva, este es uno de esos romances slow-burn que más amo y siempre va a tener un lugar especial en mi corazón. La personalidad de Taiga es muy parecida a la mía cuando era más joven, así que, era de esperarse que la apoyara sin miramientos.
¡A por el siguiente volumen!

We get the great pool sequence. I always loved that moment in the anime and it was done well in the manga. The next volume is set up to be the summer vacation arc and I am curious how engaging it will be in the manga. This continues to be a very good adaptation and I love enjoying this story again.

Un tomo bastante flojo a mi parecer. Se centra en una competencia de natación entre Ami y Taiga dónde ryuuji comienza a tener sentimientos encontrados.

We start off this volume with Chapter 25: Did you Know the Lining of School Swimsuits are White.
I'll write more when editing mode hits.
Cheers Pretties!

This is a comedown from previous installments. While the series took three volumes to cover the first two novels, this one squeezes the bulk of the third book into a single volume, and in doing so it loses its faithfulness to the source material. A number of great jokes got cut -- Ami telling Taiga she should wear a little girl's swimsuit, Taiga's reaction to the betting pool -- but more importantly parts of the plot were rewritten in ways that don't entirely make sense. For example, in the novel Minori decides Taiga and Ami should settle their argument through a sports competition then makes them draw lots to choose the game. In this manga, however, Taiga proposes a martial arts challenge while Ami suggests swimming, and Minori takes Ami's side even though she knows Taiga can't swim. It's even worse at the end of the book (which covers the beginning of the fourth novel) -- the whole bit with Taiga and Ryuuji having the same nightmare is gone, as is their planning for the trip. We just jump straight into the vacation and see that Taiga's trying to help Ryuuji with Minori; but without the scene where they decide who'll help whom, it's completely out of character for Taiga.

So funny when Taiga is poking Ryuuji's mums boobs! And then later Yasuko flashes them at Taiga. Couldn't believe it.
As always, Ryuuji and Taiga are ever so cute.

Siento que lo de la competencia de natacion se alarga mucho. Y los chistes cliche al respecto.
Que en algo estan de acuerdo, esa Ami, que antipatica es

the female lead has started to show some interest and care so openly towards the male lead. the male lead notices but she quickly diverts it so she makes sure she meant it in a master and a dog type of way.the male lead contemplates his feeling whether he just likes the female lead or if he likes her like love wisely.They are soo god damn cuteee and give off so much couple vibes.the fl had to win a competition against a love rivalry in swimming,the fl doen't know how to swim and she is willing to learn for the ml.because if she lost the ml has to go on a summer holiday vacation with the love rivalry. so the ml teaches fl how to swim but she lost because the ml gets knocked out by accident in the pool during the competition so the fl had to swim to the ml to save him.she said"nobody touch him .he's mine"

Another fun issue that finds the gang dealing with swim class, a nightmare for Taiga who has body issues over not being a 'endowed' as her classmates. Yuyuko Takemiya delivers another fun issue that focuses on classic high school drama, this not being as attractive as your fellow classmates, at least in yours and their opinion. While Takemiya gives a humorous take on it, especially with the lengths Ryuuji goes to help Taiga, it is also pointed on how fickle teenagers and kids can be (the point of the class is to teach water safety, but all the kids want to do is stare at each other). Zekkyo's art is remains nicely cartoony, balancing the high jinks of the series along with the more serious moments. Overall, one of the best high school/manga comics in recent memory.

Unlike the anime, I don't understand the need for most of the changes made to the original story here.
Some of them are completely out of character and change the relationship dynamics.
If Taiga was secure and trusting enough at this point to directly come out and share her body image issues, it would not make sense for the romance to be as slow burn as it ends up being. They could totally get together right now if she already understands consciously that they are indeed this close.
Also, the art makes it a bit hard to understand the action taking place. If I didn't already know 2 other versions of this story, I would not have understood what was going on most of the time.

I would definitely recommend this book. I think it was another good addition to the series. I really liked how Ami is actually getting pretty involved and actually hanging out with the group rather than just having her not change at all and just be the exact same as she was when she was first introduced to the reader. I did feel like towards the end it was a little bit harder to follow along and I don't know if that was just me or not. But like I said earlier I believe that it was a good addition and all even though it had its negatives overall I still liked it.

Por el final del vol 3, Taiga está molesta con Ryuuji. Habrá una tregua porque abrirán la piscina escolar y él ayudará a Taiga con su traje de baño. Una apuesta forzará a Taiga a qué tenga que aprender a nadar en unos pocos días, Ryuuji de nuevo al rescate la apoyará en lo que pueda.

Good volume, interested characters and situations. A lot of boob talk in this volume though.

Really fun read. I am enjoying this series.

This volume was all about swimming, boobs (or lack there of) and owning Ryuuji...
Haha! I’m still loving this series!

Five out of five purely because of the giggles and facepalms. And for the main pair, of course. I can't get enough of this manga, it's so relaxing to read and enjoy.

There are still five main characters plus Ryuuji's mom. Three are girls and two are boys; that doesn't really qualify as a harem story. This seemed to be a setup for the following volume.
