Fumi und Akatsuki haben ihre bisher schwerste Krise erfolgreich überwunden und wie es sich für zwei Turteltauben gehört, verbringen die beiden nun den ersten Schreinbesuch des Jahres zusammen. Die sentimentale Stimmung inmitten all der Pärchen scheint selbst an Akatsuki nicht spurlos vorbei zu gehen, denn auf einmal beginnt er, von seiner Kindheit zu erzählen. Fumi ist so gerührt von seinem zaghaften Versuch, sich zu öffnen, dass sie ihm unbedingt eine Freude machen will. Da kommt sein Geburtstag wie gerufen!

What a cliffhanger!! I've been waiting for this encounter for such a long time!! Just what will the father say!!! Been enduring it since volume 1!! Anyway, yes, I finally get to see Katsura-san again!! And sensei's fake birthday was s hilarious chapter (and the extra chapter about the preparation!!!!)

Honestly, putting the main couple and the side couple together is such a great idea that I’m not sure why more manga don’t do it. The opening chapters of this volume do so and they all play off one another beautifully, mixing the very silly with the rather heartfelt.
This shrine visit is a fun seasonal event with this particular mix of people. Fumi unintentionally manipulating Akatsuki into going is just the start of things, but a lot of this is actually concerned with Yoh and Aioi’s not-a-relationship.
After Aioi finally confessed… nothing happened. After his Christmas present… nothing happened. An unexpected celebrity cameo splits the group up and I enjoyed seeing Fumi and Akatsuki dispensing advice to the other two.
This also slowly unveils Akatsuki’s family dynamic and, well, it’s not surprising that he’s as withdrawn as he is. I was relieved that it wasn’t exactly deadbeat manga dad or anything, instead being a little more complicated than that.
Still, it’s nice to see him opening up and for Fumi to realize that not all families are the same. Naturally, this leads to Fumi going overboard in her usual style, but it makes for a good time. This volume, far more than the others, really makes use of the cast it has built up and in some excellent ways.
There is a bit of a growing sense that this manga really doesn’t care how old anybody dating anybody else might be, which does remain one of those things. Not my favourite aspect, certainly, but I can get around it here.
The latter part goes back to the idea of changing levels of affection in a relationship, but no points for guessing that this is just Akatsuki holding himself back. Too bad he has Fumi around though.
She ends up throwing fuel on the fire with a little request that’s a lot of trouble, particularly with the denouement. It’s a good place to leave off the volume, even if I did see it coming a mile off (Akatsuki’s parting words are pretty hilarious either way).
It’s a very readable volume of a really good series. There’s not much to complain about that you likely haven’t made your mind up about already and, if you have, you probably aren’t even reading this review.
4 stars - solidly enjoyable and it expanded its leads while also bringing its whole cast into the mix for some excellent scenes with them. A cozy little read that hasn’t lost its lustre yet.

"Showing someone your true self takes courage. Because you love them, you can't pry. We don't want to ruin what we have, so we're very very careful".
This is quality slice of life manga. It cuts right to the real world emotions.

Bello bello. Si sente che ci stiamo avvicinando alla fine, dopotutto mancano pochissimi volumi. Fumi è alle prese con la voglia di essere (giustamente) desiderata da Akatsuki. Lui tanto posato e così shoujo fa sciogliere il cuore... anche se nella realtà è più probabile vedere gli unicorni volare che un uomo che si comporta come lui.
E alla fine arriva il padre! Citofonatissimo già dal volume precedente... sento che nel prossimo volume ne vedremo delle belle con lui e Akatsuki.

The relationship between the two MC has finally progressed a lot more in this chapter. Really exciting panels that had me giggling and anticipating so much more. We finally are at the beginning of an interaction that we have been waiting for for many volumes, and I’m really excited to see what’s gonna happen in the next volume.

La storia sta diventando decisamente più interessante ma soprattutto più romantica e mi sta piacendo davvero molto.

SO GOOD!!! We get Sensei’s family life situation and backstory which explains so much of why he is the way he is. AND THAT ENDING!!!! 🤭

Am I going to go the full series thinking there just isn't all that much chemistry between the main characters...
Still, this was an excellent volume. Yoh and Isshin are adorable together, so it was fun to finally see progress in their relationship, with Fumi and Akatsuki giving them advice at their New Year's shrine visit. Akatsuki definitely seems to be getting more development; his backstory was great, and I kind of loved that he actually hadn't realized how much self-doubt he'd been harboring until he actually started speaking it out loud.
This also leads to him telling Fumi that because he was able to open up to her so much emotionally, it changed the way he wants to interact with her physically: he's trying to be really careful to focus entirely on the depth of their relationship, giving the rest time to grow naturally once she's out of school and their age gap is a little more appropriate.
Her dad showing up at the worst possible time is a funny way to transition to the next volume, although the teaser kind of spoils things, because it doesn't seem like he's all that horrified by his daughter sharing a bed with her employer. Should still be fun to see how that shakes out, especially since Akatsuki doesn't have any real family of his own left.
Cute appearances by other side characters, with an amusing unbirthday party with a set of people Akatsuki would've never invited himself...
I really don't know if this will actually become any sort of a favorite series, but I'm enjoying it more as it goes on, which is good progress. Usually with shoujo I start to lose interest as the volumes drag out.

Il Capodanno segna un cambio di passo all'interno delle due coppie. Da un lato, Yo e Isshin sembrano finalmente fare dei passi avanti nel loro rapporto (soprattutto la ragazza incomincia a non farsi bloccare troppo dai suoi dubbi); dall'altro, il maestro si confida con Fumi, raccontandole qualcosa di più sul suo passato (l'abbandono da parte dei genitori naturali, la perdita del padre adottivo, il rapporto difficile con la madre adottiva), una storia non propriamente felice di cui Akatsuki parla raramente. Questo porta Fumi a fare qualcosa di carino per il maestro, ovvero organizzargli una festa di compleanno (peccato che Akatsuki compia gli anni a ottobre e non a gennaio, ma questo è irrilevante), una buona occasione per chiamare a raccolta le persone che si sono affezionate a Fumi e allo scrittore, circondandosi di allegria e amici.
Inoltre, qui si inizia a discutere dell'evoluzione di questo rapporto anche sul piano fisico: infatti, il bisogno di contatto di Fumi aumenta esponenzialmente, mentre Akatsuki sembra più restio...ma più che per mancanza di interesse, è per rispetto nei confronti della giovane età della ragazza.
Comunque sia, per i due è in arrivo una nuova prova, visto il ritorno inatteso del padre di Fumi, ovviamente all'oscuro di tutte le faccende sentimentali della figlia.

AHHH this volume was full of doki doki moments.
With regards first to the leads, it was nice to see Akatsuki and Fumi be more open towards each other. I believe that that is a sign of how progressive the relationship is. I can't say I'm surprised by the cliffhanger because we probably did know that at some point this was really bound to happen. Irregardless, I'm excited to see what happens next.
Next, Aioi and Yoh! Y'all is it wrong that I'm really more invested towards them than the leads? I really like seeing their relationship continue to progress too. Yamamori-sensei, please give them more screen time or make a manga spin-off about them! LMAO HAHAHA

Un volum molt maco i tendre en què se'ns revela el passat de l'Akatsuki (adoptat per un matrimoni gran i blablabla) durant la visita al temple per Any Nou. La relació avança a bon pas, viuen moments plegats que els fan apreciar i valorar l'altre, però també veiem la resta de la colla pessigolla en una divertida festa d'aniversari "fals" ♥ S'acaba amb un cliffhanger força criminal just quan apareix el pare de la Fumi i sembla que està a punt de descobrir la relació entre els protes... a veure com reacciona! :3

In diesem Band kam ich aus dem Akatsuki und Fumi shippen gar nicht mehr heraus 😆😍 Es ist echt schön wie sich die Beziehung der beiden entwickelt hat und wie vor allem Akatsuki immer offener wird bzw. sich Fumi gegenüber öffnet. Ich bin mal gespannt, was in den nächsten drei Bänden (die auch die letzten drei sein werden) noch so passieren wird. Storymäßig muss man schon sagen, dass es etwas vor sich hinplätschert...

Chapter 62 - In all the past chapters any time the male lead gave physical affection to Fumi she either panicked and pushed him away and/or yelled EHHH (every single time unfortunately.) But now she’s feeling agitated and sad because he doesn’t touch her that much anymore and she thinks it might be because he doesn���t find her attractive as a girlfriend. And I’m just there reading like *sighs* Fumi you annoy me so. fucking. much.
welp character growth I guess?
Consists of chapters 58 - 63
read from July 5th to July 5th (writing this cos goodreads is acting up)

A partir de aquí vemos el esfuerzo de ambos por demostrar al padre de ella en este caso de que lo que sienten es real. El esfuerzo de el al trabajar junto al padre quien termina reconociendo la relacion sincera de ambos.dejando que fumi vuelva a la casa de el.
Creo que para este punto si la historia presentaba algun drama mas no me iba a gustar nada.

Akatsuki opened up more to Fumi by telling her about his childhood! Fumi organises a birthday party attended by almost all the characters she has met so far.
Fumi then becomes bolder by seeking close contact with Akatsuki and he would like to sleep and make other things with her but he wants to wait for her to grow up.
He is so sweet when he hugs and kisses her.
But at the end a cliffhanger.

Ho adorato tutto di questo volume, amo tantissimo Fumi la trovo così tenera che mi viene voglia di abbracciarla ❤
La storia è molto semplice ma è molto dolce che non mi annoia assolutamente.
Sono proprio curiosa di vedere cosa succede nel volume 12 visto il finale 😂

Las cosas entre Fumi y. Akatsuki van avanzando bien, aún mantienen una línea entre ellos debido a la diferencia de edad, pero están muy enamorados.
