やはり俺の青春ラブコメはまちがっている。 #5
Chuyện Tình Thanh Xuân Bi Hài Của Tôi Quả Nhiên Là Sai Lầm 5
Mùa hè ngắn ngủi mà cảm giác thật đằng đẵng đã sắp kết thúc.
Yui đã tới ghé thăm nhà của Hachiman, nơi cậu sống cùng Komachi.
Thêm nữa, cậu còn nhận được lời mời từ Totsuka, rồi Kawasaki ngỏ ý muốn nhờ vả,…
Và ở lễ hội bắn pháo hoa, cậu gặp lại Haruno – chị gái của Yukino!
Không hội nhóm, không kì vọng, nếu cứ cố tiếp tục mà vô vọng thì dẹp hết đi---,
Kể cả khi có được khả năng làm ngơ mọi chuyện của Hachiman, người đã đạt đến cảnh giới hiểu sai tất cả về mối quan hệ giữa người với người, và là chuyên gia về sự cô độc luôn quán triệt tinh thần lảng tránh mọi thứ, cũng có những chuyện không thể nhắm mắt cho qua. Đó chính là sự thật rằng mối quan hệ của bộ ba Yukino, Yui và Hachiman đang dần dần thay đổi.
Bản đàn thứ năm là một bước ngoặt của những nét thanh xuân vẫn còn đang lầm lạc này đây!

⭐ 2.5/5
After reading the previous four volumes, which were excellent, this was a disappointing volume. The first half of the book, in particular, felt like a filler story and apart from the last two chapters, I didn't feel like the plot progressed at all, and the worst thing was that the first half was dull. Anyway, I'm just hoping the next book makes up for it.

Summer.
For the disaffected youth, summertime provides respite from the white noise disguised as camaraderie that oft infects one generation after another. It's crap, of course, because the true loner spends their summer vacation tending to the self and mending age-old wounds with books, homework, television anime, variety shows, and sleeping in because one is too lazy to get an actual job.
Summer.
Hikigaya of MY YOUTH ROMANTIC COMEDY . . . #5 spends his summer as one would suspect: bowing to coincidence but hedging his bets against convenience. In this volume, Hikigaya encounters just about every mainstay from the series, save for Yukinoshita. He has a humorous run-in with near-delinquent Kawasaki, he catches the fireworks with Yuigahama, fields a bowl of ramen with a certain well-dressed Language Arts teacher, and lo and behold, he goes out on a date with Totsuka (sort of, but why parse words?). In the long-running tradition of manga and anime content, this volume amounts to filler . . . but one would be mistaken in assuming there is nothing of substance among such seasonal adventures.
For example, when Saki Kawasaki's younger brother beseeches Hikigaya for advice on high-school life (Taishi: "Be honest -- What are the girls like there? Are they cute? Like, that Yukinoshita girl is gorgeous, isn't she?"), it should come as no surprise that the series' protagonist reclines and explains and explores, with dangerous accuracy, the corrupt magnetism native to adolescent affection. To wit, there is nothing to look forward to when so many people obsess about a fictional version of themselves interacting with the fictional versions of others. Why bother preparing a face to meet the faces? "It just leaves you cold," he notes.
There is nothing wrong with going it alone when going with the crowd means losing a sense of self and subjecting the individual to a parade of noisy, listless, and easily distracted loons who "don't want to remove themselves from the value system that "everyone" shares [. . .] If you want to make friends, you have to be prepared to sacrifice something" (p. 35).
The most spectacular drama of MY YOUTH ROMANTIC COMEDY . . . #5 rests in the events during and shortly following the Chiba Municipal Fireworks Festival. Roped into attending the public event with Yuigahama (no thanks to little sis, Komachi), the ever-casual Hikigaya soon finds himself between two points of demonstrable conflict: the world of Yui Yuigahama, whose erstwhile observational skills threaten to bleed into a net of very real, relational subtlety; and separately, the world of Haruno Yukinoshita, whose unsettling deconstruction of human dynamics threatens to wrench apart Hikigaya's nit-picky grasp of why the world works the way it does.
Here, readers learn more about the intelligence and disposition of Haruno. Forced to go to a local university, forced to take over the family business, and forced to bear the good and the bad of all that her name thus inhabits, Haruno is a strong woman. However, her masked ire, her warm jealousy, and her cool, uneven laughter mark her as one in search of freedom. One cannot help but ponder if Hikigaya has a role to play in her quest toward such a goal (Haruno: "Yeah, you got it. I like that look in your eyes [. . .] I really do like you. You have this weird understanding of things, and it's made you all resigned," p. 129).
As for Yuigahama, her longstanding desire to get something more out of her friendship with Hikigaya is . . . progressing? It's hard to say. She's a genuinely nice girl, and her characterization, in this book series, has grown substantially. In this volume, she believes in her friend and she believes he believes in himself (and is too afraid to show it). The girl is, in fact, a much kinder and nicer person than Hikigaya truly deserves to have a relationship, and Hikigaya knows it (Hachiman: "Yuigahama's sentimental faith in me was all wrong [. . .] I would surely disappoint her. That was why I wanted her to forego any expectations from the get-go," p. 135).
MY YOUTH ROMANTIC COMEDY . . . #5 isn't all heavy-handed, though. When Hikigaya goes to the movies with the infinitely cute Totsuka (to see a horror flick, nonetheless), it's all the world's greatest loner can do but to assemble his pride and treasure their time together. Regrettably, it's just a movie and some coffee afterward, and not the whimsical summertime frolic one might have envisioned given the cover art . . . But even so, despite the fact that Hikigaya seriously wants to marry his buddy, his treatment of Totsuka as "just another guy" is incredibly endearing, even if it's entirely by accident.
The ties that bind these characters together -- that is to say, the inclinations of Hachiman Hikigaya -- seem to loosen and tighten as the situation demands; that's a good thing, when as in the previous volume the external world levies one surreptitious claim after another that it knows better than him; but it's also a bad thing, as witnessed here, when the emotional resilience of one's internal compass tends to weaken under then constant glare of the indecisiveness of others.
MY YOUTH ROMANTIC COMEDY . . . #5 tries hitting the reset button at the end -- another semester begins and another tragic turn at socializing is thus afoot. But it's a deliberately false reset: Yukinoshita is hesitating, Yuigahama beaming with confidence, and Hikigaya is pondering the value of censuring the dissonance between he and his peers.
What lies ahead? The triangular dynamic between the Yukinoshita sisters and Hikigaya is incredibly fascinating, and one hopes the author expands on this intrigue in future volumes. Whether this results in an explosive confrontation in private (the mother?) or in public (the childhood friend, Hayama?), it would surely be an outstanding narrative to track.

The first half of this book was only 2 stars for me mostly because I was not interested that much in the characters it dealt with. The second half however had the usual quality and saved the novel for me. Also Wataru can write really strong endings to his books, they were all amazing so far.

Plot further develops the relationship between Hikigaya and Yuighama, as they attempt to restart their freindship after the misunderstanding with the car crash. Beginning in the summer, the story progresses until the fireworks display at the end of summer.
This is the first volume where Yukinoshita has little presence in the novel, as the story builds up the mystery behind her family. Instead, the plot centers around Hachiman and Komachi, as they endure the summer by caring for Sabure, Yui's dog.
An entertaining read, with a pleasant and light-hearted atmosphere. Though, it seems there is foreshadowing towards a more serious tone in future volumes.

It wasn't until the fifth volume that the Master of Loneliness attempted to open his heart. Even if it was little, Hikki did try to understand and accept Yukinon's weakness. Finally, our boy has recognized Yukinon's true persona. How heartwarming.
Now, let's see where this YukiHikki ship will go. Will it reach its happy end or will it crash and sink? The answer is beknownst to Wataru Watari, and to him only.
As for me, the YuiHikki ship is a no-go.

Giving this one a personal rating of 4.5. I'm a sucker for fireworks, and I loved the analogy between relationships and pyrotechnics in chapter 7.
I've yet to establish the habit of writing proper reviews, but I wanted to leave this one here to remind me of chapter 7's existence for future reference.

Good.
I dig the author's writing style. The way he builds up scenes is outstanding in my opinion. I like Ms. Hiratsuka the most in this volume. Her dialogues were a joy to read and the illustrations of her were so beautiful, I ended up saving them on my phone.
The plot was overall engaging, but Chapter 3 felt out of place. The interactions with Totsuka feel unnatural and don't add to the main plot.
I can recommend this book to casual readers and rom-com lovers.

A great collection of short stories, yet all coming together in the end.

Hachiman gets some words from Yuigahama and now he knows Yukinoshito was in that car in the first day of school, plot getting hotter.

just great.

This volume felt like it was moving you along just for the final chapter, which was impactful.

This is the third book in the series. The last 3 should have all the flat sol scenes flayed out and compiled into a single book, becoming collectively the 2nd book in the series.

This is a truely inspiring and magnificent series. Because not only does this book instantly hooks young teenagers and adults in out of sheer curiosity it also shows you a highschool loners world through their eyes.
In this particular book there are several moments where the reader will stiffen up or possibly quietly put their face right on the page out of sheer suspense and aso excitment. One example would be when the main protagonist Hikigaya Hachiman meets one of his comrades sister along with Yuighama also his comrade at a firework festivial. Then the suspense starts to rise as they start chatting with each other about the future and also present. There are also many jaw dropping moments in this story for example when our main protagonist takes Yuighama home they have a very interesting topic about life and whether or not what has happened was decided by fate or by coincidence and would they still be the same even if that car accident never happened.
I recommend this book to young teenagers and also young adults such as teachers because this truly is a very interesting book sometimes throughout the story the reader can relate themselves to some of the characters in this book which is really useful at times because you get to see how someone can feel about you. Also this book can really strike up a hidden emotion in thats hasn't happened in a while for example if your feeling bored or depressed this book will definently brighten up your day and you defininetly wont want to stop after you begin this marvellous series.

Ha him and is supposed to be the ultimate loner but slowly all the girls in the series (and even one of the guys) seems to be falling for him.
