Mint Chocolate, Vol. 4
Is it finally time…for the hero to appear?
That witch!! After Nanami worked so hard to keep her relationship with Kyouhei on the downlow—she even agreed to Mana’s ridiculous demands for crying out loud—and Mana just sent that picture to everyone anyway?! Nanami’s doomed to a life of solitude for the rest of high school…That is, if the hero of the story doesn’t show up to sweep her off her feet. Can Kyouhei become Nanami’s knight in shining armor?

Just a cute shoujo very similar to marmalade boy, so it makes me super nostalgic.

Things get heated when pictures and rumors are flying through the school. Nanami and Kyouhei's secrets don't seem to be so secret anymore. But perhaps that's a good thing as Kyouhei doesn't seem to be shying away from it nor does he seem to really care about keeping it a secret after all. He doesn't seem to be all that great at remembering holidays though if his sudden reaction to White Day is anything to go off of.

I might not be crazy about the art but is definitely growing on me… or it’s getting better more dynamic! the story just keeps getting better, we are seeing parts of Kyohei that are so wholesome and he is also been more intimate or at least wanting to be more touchy. That part with the Roku was taken out of my actual life! 😆😢

I'm so happy that the artstyle evolved in this and the previous volume the chibi parts that used to be more than 50% of the panels and very distracting now are severely reduced!! I'm very thankful since now I can enjoy the story and art more! I had dropped it twice in the previous volumes due to that, actually...

OHHH THESE TWO ARE JUST TOO CUTE!
This series is getting better with each volume! Nanami and Kyouhei’s dynamic… I adore it. And the storyline is actually progressing and not making us wait forever. I am a little weary of the creepy cousin at the end though…

June 2, 2024I like that Nanami differentiates between being bullied and a fight being picked, and that Kyouhei is fine letting her handle the latter. It is refreshing to have a FL that is pretty independent and peppy. I do wonder if Mana will end up with what’s his face….

I really enjoyed this volume and can’t wait for the second one. We are finally getting to see a whole different side to Suzumura and I’m totally here for it.

2.5 stars. This series isn't anything new. It isn't bad but it isn't good either. It is a very standard by the book shoujo series. The characters and plot are inoffensive but forgettable.

Love this series so far. I really hope it ends well💕 My heart is so invested in these characters, and I want them to be happy. I can't wait to pick up the 5th volume!

I feel the story's losing it flow, which is sad because it has potential.

"No matter what happens you have to hold on to what's important to you."
I know that Kyouhei is considered and IS the hero, butttttt I think Andou really came in clutch this volume and is definitely the MVP. I don't know how many times that young man has come and helped Nanami and Kyouhei! LOL! He definitely deserves some recognition and wouldn't even be opposed to him getting his own happy romance, especially after we hear what he's REALLY like from one character. Granted, my first thought is that maybe they are making it up because Andou always seems so genuine, but that could be because he has said that he wants his best friend to be happy and in no way wants anyone to break up Nanami and Kyouhei. Truly, he is an amazing best friend and I hope he continues to encourage these two, but especially Kyouhei because if one thing I've really been enjoying with each volume is seeing Kyouhei have more depth to his character.
I would say that is true for Nanami as well, but Kyouhei has I think more struggles that are not blatantly obvious due to not saying much as well as not putting up with anything by anyone (including his "old man"). It really wasn't until that conversation Kyouhei and Andou have on the stairwell do we see the struggle Kyouhei is secretly having, which makes me sad. Nanami may have been worried about other people and if they thought they were siblings, but Kyouhei's worry seems to run deeper than that.
Speaking of Nanami, I never expected her to be one to put up a fight physically if need be! I'm glad it didn't come down to that even though she really WAS willing to fight for her relationship with Kyouhei and admire her for that because I don't know if I would be that strong in her shoes. LOL! Not only that, but I admired how with the drama in this volume, she didn't run to Kyouhei and tell him what was up. (Granted, I DO think she should have said something since it DOES involve him, but I understand her reasoning.) She took it upon herself to tackle everything which may sound bad, but I appreciated that she knew the "beef" was with her and no need to drag Kyouhei into the mess just to create more drama. Granted, that sort of backfired because the drama got even worse! LOL!
Though talk about a whirlwind in seeing Kyouhei stop ALL rumors within a single moment!! I was definitely shocked, but the more I keep reading this series, the more I am cheering for our couple to be together and have the relationship they so want to have! <3
Overall, this was such a good volume, especially after seeing Kyouhei make so many expressions!

Volume 4 in the series.
The story continues exploring the relationship between Nanami and Kyouhei.
In this volume, the girl who has been stalking Nanami and Kyouhei breaks her promise and sends the picture she secretly took of the two to the entire school, where all peers know the two being step-siblings. While Kyouhei as usual doesn't seem to care if anyone finds out, with Nanami still is hesitant to announce their relationship, Kyouhei announces his relationship with Nanami with the peers that confront them.
Looking forward to the next volume!

Things start to get much more heated between our two love birds!
The girl who was stalking Nanami and Kyouhei breaks her promise, and send the secret picture she took of Nana and Kyou kissing to the entire school, all of whom believe them to be siblings. After a confrontation on the roof, Kyou, with his usual brashness, storms out to the school roof and kisses Nana in front of everyone. This of course is a shocker! Later, the two spend some quality time cuddling and even kissing. Plus, Nana brings home a new member for the household!
