The pair continue to grow as a couple; this installment focuses on how they support one another. Tanaka-san invites Irie-kun over for Christmas dinner, and he helps her make a cake for dessert. Irie-kun catches a nasty cold from a classmate, and Tanaka-san visits and cares for him. Tanaka-san goes home to see her parents after their trip but gets their return date mixed up (and doesn't have a key to the house), so Irie-kun rushes over to keep her company until her parents return.

I am really enjoying the sweetness of this series.

感謝書友讓我又發現一套日常純愛劇
這種類型的總是讓我一看就不可自拔

雖然日常系的戀愛作品總是學園祭聖誕節感冒探病拜見父母之類的套路交替運用,就算這套角色年紀比較大,從大二開始畫起,仍然不脫類似的套路

但是青澀的男女主角搭配周圍的天使配角,演繹戀情的成長;從前期的拘謹到告白,後面過了初吻之後被糖淹死,這才是我心目中細膩的感情描述啊。

至於套路嗎,人的日常生活差不多都是這樣,尤其又是以學生為主角,學生的日常也就這些事情了,重點是如何把套路填進不一樣的細節裡,厲害的作者就能把醍醐味放進去啦

追連載到初吻的話,現實至少過了兩年半以上,書裡才過了差不多一年,真是急死讀者。現在日本單行本才剛出第九集,英文版再等個一年也不意外吧,真是碗都敲破了也等不到糧啊啊,更不用說東立才剛出第一集。好在這套英文不是很難,不用查字典也可以應付九成劇情,日語羅馬字放棄治療的話知道是某種專有名詞也不影響閱讀,而且後面幾集也會加註了,看來就一路看英文版了

I loved this one. This one was what I thought the last one would be. Nobuko and Hiroki are still tentative and unsure, but they are more confident with one another than they were previously. They’re starting to turn to each other more with issues rather than apologizing. I really, really liked this volume. Still innocent and sweet and slow burn, but definitely progressing!

5/5 estrellas

Un tomo más de El amor de Mobuko lleno de momentos dulces y en el que la relación de la pareja protagonista va avanzando un poco más.

Ha llegado el invierno y con él unas fechas muy especiales, la Navidad. Son las primeras que Nobuko va a pasar en pareja y lejos de su familia, por lo que decide invitar a Irie a su casa y preparar un pastel juntos, como hacía con sus padres cuando era una niña, y comerlo después de cenar.

Nobuko es cada vez más extrovertida y ya no le da tanta vergüenza estar con Irie, por lo que disfruta más del momento hablando más con él, pasando más tiempo juntos y pidiéndole más besos. Lo mismo pasa con Irie, que se preocupa mucho por Nobuko en cada momento y quiere estar ahí para ella.

He adorado muchos de los momentos que han compartido la pareja en este tomo, como por ejemplo cuando Nobuko va a cuidar de Irie porque está enfermo, o la cena de Navidad, pero sobre todo el final que me ha dejado con ganas de más.

Estoy deseando saber qué va a pasar en Noche Vieja y seguir disfrutando de la relación tan sana que tienen Nobuko e Irie, y de lo dulces que son en todo momento. El amor de Mobuko es un manga que me deja con una sonrisa en la boca en todo momento.

I so greatly enjoy this series. It's slow yet smooth pace is so very relaxing.

Tanaka is the adorable girl-next-door type. Timid as a mouse, easily embarrassed, always unsure, worries about being pushy in a relationship. I think it makes her that much cuter. I absolutely love her huge, dark eyes, and shoulder length black hair. Those mousy little gals like that are usually total freaks and are just addictive. Irie obviously feels the same, as he's fallen in love hard for the quiet, timid, unassuming cashier at the local supermarket. I just can't get over how adorable and sweet Tanaka is. As for Irie, he's obviously a great catch himself. He thoughtful, kind, caring, loving, devoted, helpful, handsome, and a complete gentleman. Boy is that hard to find these days! I will continue to read and enjoy this simple yet touching love story. I always get so excited when the release date is announced for each new volume.

Like a chocolate box … for your soul

The sweetness and love in this story just keeps on coming and frankly I will be quite sad when I’m all caught up to date on this series and I can’t keep bingeing these books. They are VERY addictive!

In this volume things are moving along for our couple and Christmas is looming - what will they do to spend the most romantic day of the year together? And then, what about New Year? After a schedule mishap leaves Nobuko stranded will Tanaka be able to rescue her?

A sweet first Christmas together!

I love how relaxing and feel-good this manga is, it just lightens up your heart and makes you feel happy despite everything. In this volume, Nobuko and Hiroki spend a sweet first Christmas together and in the end, Hiroki rushes to her side when he finds out that she’s having trouble. I really love the dynamic chemistry they have, it’s subtle but passionate at the same time. I can’t wait to see how their New Years went in the next volume.

These two are just so cute and adorable!!!! The way he went to work to walk her home late at night to just see her. The way she went to him when he was sick to when they spent Christmas together. Then how she mis read when her parents were to come home to spend the New Years. He came to her on the little island by a faster boat. I love how they share they feeling with each other.

3.5ish
The series is cute, but starting to feel a bit aimless. It's very slow, with the couple taking one 'big' step per volume, which is fine, but the surrounding plot has fallen off a bit for me too. Things that were cute earlier on, the store, their coworkers, etc, aren't around as much. There also hasn't been a swoony moment between the main couple for a while.

Talk about a slow burn, lol! Seriously, though, the characters are super cute and remind me of my high school days (although they're supposedly in college). Can't wait until the rest is uploaded in English.

The relationship seems to move a little faster in this one. I love the way they talk things out and make decisions together. I'm quickly running out of books left in this series and it's making me sad but I really love watching them grow as a couple.

So cute, their first Christmas~

It's a little strange how Nobuko is in love with Hiroki but she still can't talk to Fumi about it even though Fumi is the only friend we have seen her with outside of her co-workers.

The whole discussion about formality definitely gets lost in translation

Cute but slow

The characters' bashfulness and their thoughts and consideration towards each other is cute.

However, the storyline is very mellow and slow and is struggling to excite me at the moment.

I love how we finally got to see a little background between Fumi-chan and the main character. I also love how they are starting to communicate better.
