I'm having a lot of fun reading this series, it's refreshing to read a manga where the protagonists are closer to my age! :)

Vol. 1 ★★★☆☆
Vol. 2 ★★★☆☆
Vol. 3 ★★★☆☆
Vol. 4 ★★★☆☆

This volume is rough. It's mostly filler with some reveals thrown in. That reveal at the end genuinely left me speechless. As much as I want to sympathize with Kaori, I can't wrap my head around the terrible choices she's been making.

HOLY CRAP!!! WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!!!
There were a couple of HUGE bombs dropped in this volume of the series. One is one we have been waiting on for a while. The other wasn't totally unexpected, but came earlier in the series than I thought it would.
Needless to say, I am anxiously awaiting Volume 6!

金髮男除了嘴賤，也沒啥不好
尤其跟另外兩個渣男比，金髮男根本優質啊~

後面的讀者來信環節的字超多
英文也比正文難很多...
其實好像也是有看沒懂
要看完九集真的好累啊~

Ok, while I can pretty much tell Key and Rinko are going to be the endgame, Key is still kind of a major jerk and we're more than halfway through this series. :/ Please please please don't end the way I think it might end.

[Miss Susan · Rating 2 out of 5]

i liked this a bit better solely because there was less of key. the girls are pretty much spinning their wheels but it's better then reading about him deliberately hurting rinko

also are the end sections a parody or something because they're MEAN

2.5 stars

[Amara · Rating 3 out of 5]

Maybe the bonus chapters are sarcasm? I can't tell... But if they're not, I should probably stop reading them, because it makes me said to think someone would actually think that way :(

Sigh. I just can't drop this series though I want to.

[Shaz · Rating 3 out of 5]

Whoa, I was not expecting that revelation at the end. I love the artwork in this addictive series. The side story relationship advice comes across as mean though.

[Jes · Rating 3 out of 5]

Getting slightly better… I don’t care about the backstory they’re giving Key. His problems and heartbreak aren’t Rinko’s fault, nor are they her problem.

the girls are really in it now huh

¿Y ese plot-twist? Me he quedado un poco loca, tengo ganas de leer el siguiente volumen.

[Chris Gernon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Came for the comedy and got drawn in by the drama. Also, I still love the little author note comics at the end of each volume. This one ends on a hell of a cliffhanger!

[Olivia P · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved the edition— as always but the ending section advice kinda took a turn for the ultra facetious. In the previous volume I thought the author was being serious! 😩

[Kaley · Rating 3 out of 5]

Right as I thought this series was going somewhere, it goes back to the dramatic cliches that unfortunately keep dragging this down for me. It’s still as addictive as a trashy tv show and I’m gonna keep reading it, but man do I hope it goes back up.

[Ashley N. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Still don't like Key, but love the rest of the characters.

My library finally reopened for curbside pick up! Yay! I’m so excited to be able to finish this series. Not too much progressed in this volume, but I’m glad Rinko is standing up for herself a little bit at least, even if it’s only in her internal debates - you need your friends no matter how old you get, and there’s nothing sad about that. I’m also glad the women were able to come together again after their fight. Frank conversation about the current state of their lives is necessary, but every time I think Kaori and Koyuki have decided to stop putting up with their terrible relationships, they get sucked back in. And Kaori is maybe pregnant now? So heavy.

We’re getting to see more and more into Key’s past - we knew he had been married to an older woman, and that she’d passed away. We now know she died when she was 33, and that she was his manager’s sister. I’m still not sure what their exact relationship had been. He still seems fixated on Rinko in some way, even though he said he’d never date her. But he sure paid a lot of attention when Mami mentioned Hayasaka had asked her out in the past and still talked about it. I’m not sure what’s going on with that director, but I’m curious.

I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Rinko has hit another rough patch in her love life and her mood swings (and the third marriage rush) force Kaori and Koyuki to reevaluate their own relationships again. Not to mention little disappointments that shouldn't be happening but do because Kaori and Koyuki are the 'second women' to their cheater boyfriends.

Meanwhile, we get more hints about Key's past love life. And then we end on chaotic note that could spell disaster.

This series has 9 volumes.

[Craig Schorling · Rating 4 out of 5]

The drama adds up but is still compelling and believable. Each woman is struggling with the decisions that they are making and seeing them work through things is great. We also learn more about Key's past but it wasn't too big of a surprise. This series continues to deliver well written storylines and is more mature in its delivery. A breath of fresh air right now.

[brightredglow · Rating 4 out of 5]

Getting into the middle section where it starts to grind and get frustrating. But I'm still liking it because as frustrating as the gals get, they are frustrated with themselves so it adds a sense of realism.

[Sarah Schanze · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's my favorite trash manga, back again. I feel like not much actually happened in this volume until the very end, however, and I hope the next volume kicks the story along further (seems like it will, though, hah).

[Maddysbook · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un tome où Rinko m’a encore agacée. Je trouve que c’est la seule qui fait que surplace. Elle veut changer les choses, avancer mais elle ne fait que s’apitoyer sur son sort.
A l’inverse, ses deux copines évoluent.
La fin est juste dingue, heureusement que j’ai le tome 6 sous la main.

[Priscilla · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5

Même si j’ai trouvé une petite baisse de régime dans ce tome, il y a quand même deux sacrées révélations et là j’ai juste trop envie de savoir la suite donc il va falloir que je me procure le reste de la série !

[Rob Marney · Rating 4 out of 5]

The last chapter hit me right in the heart. Too much padding and on-the-nose dialogue means this doesn't hit the heights of volume 4, but the drama has gone from forced coincidence to realistic repercussions of our heroines' actions, which is a very welcome change.

[Ady Weasley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Si bien Key no me agrada mucho, es cierto que si le dice sus verdades a Rinko, aunque le falta delicadeza...en este tomo las chicas vana enfrentar una pelea que les hará abrir los ojos.

Sospechaba algo así con Key

This one had something that I liked more than the previous volumes, but I'm not quite sure what!

[Jasmin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Finally some background story on Key.

[Anna Quilter · Rating 3 out of 5]

I do enjoy this series.
However I enjoyed the relationship advice column in the back of the book even more in this volume. It was just so hilarious and weird.

[Jenny Clark · Rating 4 out of 5]

Still pretty good, with clear art and an interesting story. That ending though...
