A sequel series that follows up on two girls who fell in love in high school and shows how they are navigating their relationship as college freshmen. It's sweet, chaste, and mellow, with low-key problems like making time to see one another when their colleges are almost an hour apart across Tokyo and being jealous of each other's new friend and new roommate.
To frustrate indexers and confuse newbies, the cover is numbered as both Kase-san and . . . Book 6 and Kase-san and Yamada Vol. 1. The straightforward presentation should make it easy for newbies to jump on here without reading the first five books that were set in high school.

VERY CUTE. Like could I have lived without the jealousy storyline? Yes, I definitely would have preferred a different source of tension and Kase throwing a tantrum over Yamada wanting to go out with her new friend was not the greatest. But overall I really enjoyed this volume -- it was fun to get the country mouse in the big city moments, and Yamada is such a delightful protagonist. The art is adorable as always!

This series is so stinking cute

The back and forth jealousy that doesn't really go anywhere is kind of tiring, but not enough to ruin the story. I really like how into flowers and gardening Yamada is. It's a cute touch to the series as a whole.

Gay and flowery, but we're in college now.

A short sweet and wholesome Yuri manga I feel complete. I can’t wait to add this series to my own collection at some point <3

I would say the Kase-san series has always been very good, but this latest volume is pretty much perfect. It’s very cool to see Kase and Yamada actually in university - it’s a setting mined very infrequently in any manga, let alone yuri.
There’s also a lot of truth at the heart of this volume, which deals with two of the biggest threats to any high school relationship - distance and university. Suddenly you can’t see one another nearly as much and your pool of friends expands and that can lead to complications (and does). The writing here conveys just how much work you need to put in to make a relationship work under these sorts of circumstances, regardless of gender.
Story-wise, Yamada’s the heart of the conflict here - she is easily the more naive character of the two and doesn’t tend to realize how much trouble she might be causing. In one specific instance, you can spot Chekhov’s honourifics the second they show up and it isn’t long before shots are fired.
We also get two fun new characters in this volume and check in with the usual crew. Kase and Yamada are such a good couple together that it’s always a fun read, even when there’s drama afoot. For all I said above, there’s a lot of great character growth for Yamada here too and she’s really coming into her own in Tokyo.
On an aesthetic level, the art has gotten even better - easily one of the best drawn manga I’m reading right now. It effortlessly shifts from reaction panels to gorgeous regular art and it’s packed with details.
Throw in one chapter that’s purely four koma comics and a sweet denouement and you have one heck of a good read. One of the best titles I’ve read this year.

did a whole reread of this series some time back- luvvvvvv them :)

Extremely cute art and extremely cute characters! Hana-chan is the most precious cinnamon roll in the book, case closed, but I enjoyed pretty much the whole cast. The only characters I disliked were the poorly-drawn background characters (it was so unnecessary for Takashima to draw them so "ugly" in comparison to the cast) and... I also disliked Kase-san. (Sorry! I'm sue she'd grow on me over time if she behaves differently.)
The miscommunications between characters, while realistic, stressed me out. Although this book is quite sweet and wholesome overall (it is a light and fluffy yuri series) I think there is just a little too much drama for me to enjoy reading it. (I yelled "JUST TALK TO HER" more than a few times during this book and was sad when miscommunications were passed over rather than resolved.)
I knew going into this volume that this is the second series about these characters, and I did feel like I was missing some information. I also think that series might be more my pace. I'd probably prefer to read about them building their relationship during their high school years... as opposed to me developing high blood pressure from worrying about these two managing their relationship, schoolwork, and new friends and responsibilities-- while also adjusting to new environments.

Updated reread on 6/5/2020:
Dropped from 4 to 3 stars.
Okay, I'm officially dropping this series. It's not bad, but I'm not as interested in it as I once was. This is fine as a slice of life, fluffy yuri manga, but even then I feel like there are better out there. I appreciate the artwork and its simplicity and I think a lot of people will like this. It's just not for me anymore. Loved the artwork, though.
Original review posted on 3/4/2020:
I had some issue with Kase and Yamada's horrific communication and Mikacchi straight-up dumping her job on Yamada (they ARE supposed to be friends, RIGHT?) I overall really enjoyed this volume and still love this series. It's a fun, expressive, and cute series that I'm thrilled we're getting more of. Looking forward to the next volume!

Kase-san and Yamada-san just make my heart so warm and fuzzy!! I can't help smiling! I'm so glad this series is following them on into college, and giving them more time to develop their relationship. Keep it coming, Seven Seas, and I'll keep showing my support of this heart warming tale by buying it! 💕

Continuing their story in college, they both have things to learn about the effort that maintaining a relationship takes now that school doesn't bring them together each day.

Je remercie les Éditions Taifu comics pour l’envoi de cette lecture. J’ai tout de suite été attiré par ce titre rien qu’en voyant cette couverture fleurit ! Cela me correspond parfaitement ! De ce fait, c’est avec plaisir que j’ai pu découvrir ce nouveau manga. 😉
Kase et Yamada sont ensemble depuis le lycée. Aujourd’hui, elles sont étudiantes. Elles ont décidé de partir ensemble pour leur étude à Tokyo, mais malheureusement, elles n’ont pas souvent l’occasion de se voir, vu qu’elles ne vivent pas ensemble.
Entre l’université de sport de Kase et celle d’horticulture de Yamada, les deux jeunes femmes sont très occupées. À cause de cette distance nouvelle pour leur couple, des jalousies vont se créer. Le fait de ne pas se voir quotidiennement comme avant va fortement se faire ressentir !
Bon, déjà, soyons clairs, je suis complètement fan du coup de crayon du mangaka. En plus, l’histoire est vraiment toute mignonne. Il n’y a pas d’excessivité, c’est seulement deux jeunes femmes qui s’aiment et qui essayent de concilier leur étude ainsi que leur vie amoureuse !
En bref, un premier tome qui m’a complètement conquise. L’histoire est douce et légère. On y découvre deux jeunes filles très attachantes et un couple mignon comme tout ! Je suis impatiente de découvrir la suite de leur aventure !

The unresolved "high school" relationship problems are laid bare in this volume. Love won but also nothing was really dealt with and so now the communication issues have to be addressed.
Realistic to how a relationship might find conflict but I could not help but wish they spent more time in this volume fixing issues and actually getting to spend time together. Because of their conflicts and because this is the first volume in this arc this volume does feel very transitionary.
The only place I have no issues is with the visuals! The backgrounds were great and occasionally breathtaking. The characters are expressive and emotive as ever and the new additions are all very cute!
The next volume is the last one published as of writing. I am already getting the pit in my stomach feeling that comes from having to pause my investment in a world and wait for the next installment.

I was expecting the jealousy ark to big and annoying but people here are really over exaggerating, I really enjoyed that there were some tension! The art gets prettier for every volume, I can't wait for the next manga to come out later this year! The romance in this mange is something unique and absolutely lovely! I like that its realistic but for the next volume I hope the characters are not going to be as busy, that is in my opinion the negative aspect of this series, its not a great source of tension and its quite frustrating constantly reading about how busy they are all the time!
Anyways, I love this volume so much <3 <3 <3

Thank you SO MUCH Hiromi Takashima for choosing to carry on with these characters beyond high school!
I was pleased and satisfied with how the original series ended, but after reading this new installment I’m so happy the creator is choosing to continue to share what’s going on in their college lives.
Very excited for the next volume!!!

This is the first volume of Tase and Yamada in college! This series of small volumes was so cute and I'm glad we get to be with the ladies while they're in college. The art is so cute and full of blushes and humor and I love the openness of the two in their relationship with each other. I know there is a wait for the next volume and man, I cannot wait.

Une relation adorable entre Kase et Yamada, et un dessin très soigné. Le tout est feelgood et léger, c'est agréable et cela se lit bien. Mais cela n'a rien d'extraordinaire ou de révolutionnaire, c'est assez convenu dans l'ensemble et je ne vois pas d'intérêt de lire la suite, qui sera sans doute aussi prévisible que ce premier tome. J'en attendais peut-être un peu trop.

Book my friend lent me so I could discover some mangas she likes part 1
First GL I read and it was pretty good in my opinion so I give it 5 stars because why not. The characters and the story are kind of sweet and I think that's a great book when you're like me and you're not used to read a lot of GLs.

Kase and Yamada, dating but now at different colleges in Tokyo, are learning how to make a little distance and different schedule work as they try to make friends and their own place at their colleges.

This was a cute addition to the series, and I’m glad it’s continuing, but...it was a bit boring. Also, Kase-san’s possessiveness is a little problematic here. I just hope the next volume will charm me more!

The cute continuation of Kase-san and Morning Glories! Sweet chapters that really show how much Kase and Yamada love each other as they they get through each and every struggle they face! Very worth a read.

I love it so much it’s just I don’t like the whole part with the roommate which could’ve quickly been shut down if she told her she was moving in with her gf but other than that I really do love the story

What a way to celebrate Femslash February with the return of these two cuties. I love these mangas, if you need just some cute fluffy love stories I recommend this series.

Extremely adorable, watching the girls start to live adult lives - false starts and all - was very heartwarming!

3.5/5. It was adorable and fluffy. However, I wasn’t a big fan of the jealousy/miscommunication that played a larger part in this volume.
January 5, 2021
One of the cutest romance mangas I have EVER read.

Gosh they're just a very cute couple still, even in college. It just continues to be a sugar sweet romance. I love it.
