De lo mejorcito que se publica actualmente en nuestro país.

[Christina (A Reader of Fictions)]

Volume 5 primarily works through the friendship problems between Bon and Sen from the prior volume. Though it's not my favorite arc, I do think it's a story line, because it deals with Bon's jealousy over his first real friend making new friends. It's not a flattering emotion, and it's petty as hell, but it's a real thing, particularly if you're someone to whom friendship does not come easily. Ask me how I know.

The volume also gears up towards a major conflict between Sen and Jun-nii over their shared love interest. There's still not enough detail in this plot line for me to know how I feel about it entirely. Jun-nii seems like a creep thus far, but they all seemed to respect him before this. I'm also not sure how old is he is exactly, which impacts the level of ick factor in his relationship with a high school student.

Definitely an interesting volume, if a bit weakened by the lack of an individual arc. These volumes do not really have story arcs but just contain one chunk of the larger story. They'd be stronger if they had their own mini-arcs to go along with the larger tale.

Dan ganas de ir corriendo a ver el anime para poder escuchar la música.

Tập này mọi chuyện cứ xoắn xuýt hết cả lên, nhưng mà vẫn hay. Nói thật là mình không thích nhân vật Yukari(?) lắm, cô nàng này cứ làm sao ấy.
Trong tập này vòng tròn tình yêu có vẻ đã bị tan vỡ. Nhưng mà cặp Kaoru và Ritsuko không biết có thể thành không nữa. Tôi không thích bộ này chuyển sang shounen-ai tí nào, cực kỳ không thích. Họ chỉ là bạn thôi thì không được à?

Ngoại truyện đính kèm cực kỳ dễ thương, mấy oneshot của tác giả kèm truyện toàn truyện hay cả.

only 4 volumes left until the end of this story, and I realized, I gave 5 🌟 for all the volumes I've read so far.
it seems somewhat emotional judgment, but I'm really impressed by how appealing this manga is. it's so balanced, the characters are so easy to like, the jazz is engaging ... it's the best romance manga I've read in years.

I'm starting to get worried if the end will be disappointing cuz, my expectations are to damn high right now!

薫くんと千太郎くん中治った。文化祭の場面とても感動的だった！その部分を読んだ後ユーチューブで「モーニン」を聞いた！

Aaahh I liked the plot in this one! I just want everyone to be happy having fun together. The characters are more honest and not so cryptic about their feelings.

Jun-nii is very handsome and charismatic, I couldn't help but liking him a lot, but poor baby Sen!!!! I love him even more, so go away Jun and Yurika! BTW, the session between Bon and Sen is just perfect!!!
