I’m starting to feel suspicion over the timeline and wish I had paid more attention to it over the past few volumes...

Okay I'll promise to stop reading this for today and instead try to read bit more of one of the dozens of books I'm currently in the middle of...

[Mark · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series has really grown on me after the last book and this one, while lacking the heavy emotional walloping of volume 5’s opening, shows a continued change in its storytelling.

The subtle ramping up from Takagi picking on Nishikata because she likes him to the current status of her doing essentially the same thing but with them both having the pangs of adolescent attraction really makes a difference. There’s more of a point to it and Nishikata’s slow turn to reciprocating her feelings is great.

I won’t be shocked if the one time he “wins” versus Takagi is when trying to call her bluff by asking her out - idle speculation, but it feels like an appropriate turn (if it happens).

Oke, setelah vol 5, ada ekspektasi yg membuncah utk vol. 6. Namun, yaah...

Serial ini benar-benar berkembang dg cukup baik, hanya saja tidak memiliki dampak emosional yang berat laiknya vol 5. Setidaknya vol 6 ini tetap dapat menunjukkan perubahan yang berkelanjutan dalam penceritaannya.

Peningkatan halus dari Takagi memilih Nishikata karena dia menyukainya hingga statusnya saat ini dari dia melakukan hal yang pada dasarnya sama tetapi dengan mereka berdua memiliki rasa ketertarikan remaja benar-benar membuat perbedaan (apa siih hha). Ada juga lebih banyak gunanya dalam perkembangan karakter menilik lambatnya Nishikata dalam membalas perasaannya, ini tergambar dengan bagus :)))

Good volume, but it felt like it was treading water.

Story: ★★★☆☆
Art: ★★★★☆

Something about this volume felt tired to me. The stories were cute, and the situations were fun, but it didn’t feel fresh. I did like the peek we got into Takagi’s self-awareness on page 95 that her need to tease Noshikata is getting in the way of their romance.

This volume delves more into how well the pair know each other. He notices when she's off and she shows how he'll react again and again. It was kind of fun to see the pair interact with classmates who are dating, showing how different the two pairs are.

[Fumijo · Rating 5 out of 5]

The sweet romance is slowly teased out of the story. I love this series!

[Sheepy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nothing really new to add as the series is pretty much the same throughout, really cute and fun.

[Sukhmeet Singh · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5

[Guille · Rating 3 out of 5]

divertido como todos los tomos pero llega un punto en el que aburre que sea lo mismo, aunque sí es ingenioso

[Kaden Ashworth · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing book, as always.

[David Doel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well, Nishikata is now zero for six volumes in topping Takagi. It's mostly his own fault because he over-thinks everything. How many volumes will be needed for Nishikata to get a clue?
