Le respect mutuel et l’amour entre les personnages est adorable 🥰 j’ai aussi aimé voir quelques perso secondaires un peu plus !

4,5/5 estrellas
Ya sabeis lo mucho que me gustan las historias de amor con relaciones dulces y El amor de Mobuko no decepciona en ese sentido. Tomo tras tomo nos muestra un amor sencillo, de los que te dejan el corazón calentito.
La relación de Irie y Nobuko sigue adelante y a pesar de que sus amigos intenten que se den más prisa, la pareja va paso a paso, respetando sus ritmos y encontrando felicidad en cada pequeño detalle. En este tomo los protagonistas empiezan a llamarse por su nombre de pila y Nobuko conoce a la familia de Irie, dejando una buena impresión en ellos, y empiezan a hablar de un futuro juntos tras la graduación. Además aparece un personaje nuevo que se incorpora a trabajar en el supermercado y vemos partes del pasado de Nobuko, Shinozaki y Kaneko, de cuando empezaron a trabajar.
Es un manga que recomiendo mucho si os gustan las historias soft y con relaciones que se van cociendo poco a poco.

A fateful reunion between childhood friends, a supportive love ❤️
This story may not be romantic but it is more about the sincerity of feelings and love.
So, I have nothing much to review but to sheer enjoy each characters and the storyline.
There is no conflict or plot, the pace also runs like their lives, it doesn't feel too slow or fast.
Every new and old character, all likeable and nice. Not to mention the drawings are too cute that make the story more wholesome.
If you want to find a story that gives you a spring feeling and sakura 🌸 or you want to fall in love with Japan, maybe you can try reading this book series.
There is always a little special chapter inserted at the end volume about the other side of the character (which i enjoyed more 🥰)
but in my opinion the drawings are a bit identical, sometimes the characters are confused because their faces are quite similar. haha

This remains to be a cute slow-burn kind of romance, but...the characters lack a certain chemistry sometimes, even with all the blushing involved. If and when they do go “the next step” in their relationship, I don’t know if it will feel right within the story because they are just so shy around each other (as I imagine many Japanese couples are at first, to be fair).

I love it!
I enjoyed reading this volume as well.
There is a lot of blushing for both of them, but it’s cute!
They talk about the future, meet new people, and there’s also some focuses on the stories of the characters.

October 27, 2022Our main characters in this volume are really cute and sweet, but that side story between their other co-workers is what I love the most in this volume!

My treat to myself at the end of the day. I don’t think the blurb about this volume was accurate…it described something that happened in the last volume, and even then it makes a bigger deal out of one small aspect of that volume than seemed accurate to me. But this volume did confirm my assumption about the names being the characters’ last names as Nobuko and Hiroki have worked their way to a first name basis.
There was a lot of unrelated-to-the-main-relationship work stuff in this volume, which I thought was fun. I’ve read other reviews by people bored or frustrated with the super slow pace of this relationship and lack of really any external drama-nearly all the tension and turmoil occurs within the characters. But I think that’s what I love so much about it.

Bien que les tomes sortent au même rythme qu’évolue la romance entre Irie et Tanaka, c’est toujours adorable de retrouver ces deux grands candides qui décidément ne font pas leur âge en terme de maturité sentimentale.
Amoureux de romances très très lentes vous serez servis, même si depuis quelques chapitres les amoureux sont enfin ensemble, ça n’a pas non plus avancé des masses. Cependant on prend plaisir à chaque petit pas en avant car on sait combien ça leur coûte aussi d’oser s’appeler par leur prénom, oser faire une sortie ensemble, oser rencontrer leur famille respective. Des passages obligés mis encore plus en avant dans cette série vue l’importance que les héros leur donnent.
Heureusement pour dynamiser un peu l’histoire et il y en a besoin sinon on s’endormirait presque en les suivant, Akane Tamura introduit de temps en temps de nouveaux personnages et/ou les fait interagir avec d’autres de leurs collègues et ça fait un bien fou ! Je me suis amusée de l’arrivée du petit nouveau à la caisse, un jeune lycéen que Tanaka tente de former alors qu’en fait il est bien plus débrouillard qu’elle dans la même situation. Mais c’est mignon de la voir jouer les grandes soeurs et de voir celui-ci craquer pour cette version d’elle. De la même façon, j’ai pris plaisir à cette petite sortie acrobranche avec leurs deux collègues-amis d’enfance où on voit chacun se dépasser. C’est plein de bons sentiments, de sentiments positifs et les situations commencent à être un peu plus variées.
Il y a aussi de manière aussi brève qu’efficace les petites planches d’inter-chapitres que je savoure à chaque fois. Elles sont à la fois tendres et humoristiques et nous apprennent au final pas mal de choses sur les personnages, offrant de nouveaux éclairages sur les scènes qui se déroulent ensuite. C’est fort bien joué.
En revanche, je dois avouer que le rythme commence à être vraiment un peu trop lent parfois, ce qui fait que je préfère d’autres comédies romantiques à celle-là. Je n’ai plus l’impatience des débuts à l’idée de la suivre. C’est plus une lecture réconfortante qu’addictive. Je pensais aussi voir les dessins s’affiner mais je commence à les trouver un peu plat, surtout qu’il n’y a pas de recherche de mises en scène particulières, ce qui manque dans ce type de titre assez intérieur et psychologique, en tout cas c’est ce que j’imagine. Il y a donc une pointe de frustration devant la qualité finale de l’histoire. L’autrice se laisse un peu trop porter, alors que j’aimerais qu’elle soit un peu plus heurtée.
Comédie romantique doudou et feel good par excellence, Mobuko se repose peut-être un peu trop sur la candeur de ses personnages qui les rend si attachants. Cela avance très lentement et de façon archi classique, cela manque un peu de relief, même si c’est mignon de les voir faire tant d’effort pour chacune de leurs premières fois. Cependant, l’ensemble est un peu trop lisse et il commence à manquer quelque chose à mes yeux dans cette série que je suis sans déplaisir mais sans fougue non plus.

This is such a pleasant series.
It is so relaxing, & it has a slow pace. It's a refreshing change, as most shojo & rom-coms are fast paced, frantic even. So the slow pace of this series really is nice. Tanaka & Irie are such an adorable couple. He's such a nice guy, & she's just the cutest little thing ever. I love her big eyes. So cute! I really enjoy the style of this mangaka. The girl's eyes & noses are so cute. I see good things ahead for these two. Art, so very nice. Very pleasant looking. Simple, but not overly so. Dialogue, so nice & friendly. Characters, believable, likeable, relatable, adorable.

Meet the parents!
They ( Tanaka-San and Irie-Kun) are so adorable! I am enjoying watching them grow in their relationship! Learning to call each other by their first names and overall enjoying being with each other! They are learning so much about each and their dreams of the future. It is so cute hearing their confession about their wants in their relationship too! Maybe we get to see them move to another step in their relationship. Can’t wait to see what it might be! Off to read the next book!🥰

I feel cozy
I would first like to mention first and foremost I'm not particularly keen on romance novels they never tickled my fancy. But this! It feels like a relationship I would have with someone. It feels like they're saying I get you to me every time I turn a page. They treat life mundane and honestly I love it. Thi entire series is incredible,it doesn't really have fan service scenes which is perfect for me (I'm Asexual) and it paints life as not scary or cruel just as life. Couldn't recommend enough
Thank you Tamura-san :)

These two are just so cute!!!! They are going their own pace in their relationship. Even though it has been a month they are respecting each other. They still call each other they last name until near the end. How they went to the park with couple of their friends and had BBQ was just so adorable. The meeting of his parents went well and how she was so scary but didn't show it. They almost kissed* it is so cute!!!! I can't wait to read more....

3.5 the series is still incredibly slow burn when it comes to the two main characters which I tend to enjoy but for some reason, I am getting frustrated with the two main characters. I will keep reading this manga series since I don't have too many volumes left but it has lost the spark that I felt when I red the first 2 volumes sadly :(

This might be my favorite volume thus far! The group hangout and barbecue, both Nobuko and Hiroki finally addressing each other by name, Nobuko finally meeting Hiroki’s family, and the almost kiss at the end was all too sweet! I really loved this and I want to buy this whole series once I finish reading everything. I can’t wait to read what’s next in the 7th volume!

I really like how Irie and Tanaka, despite being awkward lil wallflowers, also assert themselves (it's assertive for them lol) enough to take their relationship at their own pace. They're so cute, and even though this feels a bit episodic at times, it's an enjoyable read. I love the coworker friend group and like that we're getting to see glimpses of their lives too.

September 14, 2024One set of parents has been met…it was cute that Irie-kun misunderstood and told his parents about her personality rather than facts about her 🤭
Although I like the series, it’s hard to rate because it also makes me cringe and have anxiety because of their awkwardness. So it’s a conflicting feeling.

This is such a cute story but their relationship is still moving very slowly. If not for Irie, I don't think it would progress at all. Still, I am really enjoying this series and find myself reaching for the next one right away.

It was great seeing Nobuko challenge herself at the adventure park having fun with her coworkers. She got to meet Hiroki's family too and looks like an indication they might both start thinking of the future more than the general "whatever it is I know I want to be with you"

O que eu gosto bastante nesta história é que mesmo os personagens sendo tímidos ainda assim o romance flui normalmente. Dá uma sensação realista para a história.
Os personagens secundários também são uns fofos.

First half was filled so I wasn’t super enticed by it , but the last have was alright. I don’t know it wasn’t as enticing as the other volumes but I will continue on.
