Sasaki and Miyano, Vol. 5

佐々木と宮野 [Sasaki to Miyano] #5

by Shou Harusono

Sasaki is...Sasaki is what to me? A heated exchange between the two leads to absolutely nothing. Well, Miyano isn’t living in a BL story, so that’s fine, right? Except Miyano feels like he’s going to explode, because he can’t stop thinking about hugging his upperclassman...and taking care of him...What does it mean to like someone anyway?

Genres: Manga, Romance, LGBT, Queer, Contemporary, Yaoi, Young Adult

I think my favorite running thread from this series is the fact that Miyano exclusively consumes gay manga (and gay movies and gay everything), but is still completely gobsmacked (I finally get to use that word!) at the prospect of being attracted to a man in real life. Oh, this isn't a criticism by the way, because like... I felt that. I guess my point is that sometimes you know for sure, even if you didn't know for sure. Relatable stuff here. I mean, this is a pretty simple manga and it's probably not that deep, but hey! That's never stopped me from over-analyzing before!

"I'll wait... I'll wait"

This is definitely the slow burn romance type but as I’ve mentioned in the previous volumes it’s not dragged out. The pacing is perfect and with the current timeline it makes more sense rather than a sudden love at first sight and unnecessary conflicts. The author has got a perfect blend of slice of life and romance in the story. Enjoying it very much so far.

I AM GOING TO RIP MY HAIR OUT!

I know Miyano is trying to work out his feelings but oh my goodness. I just want them to get together at this point, make some sort of progress. Unfortunately, we spend another volume with Miyano realizing that he cares for Sasaki but doesn’t know if he has romantic feelings for him. My feelings actually hurt for Sasaki because you can tell that he’s being patient for Miyano but it’s hurting him to do so. I can’t imagine being in all of these intimate moments with someone I have feelings for only to continually get turned down. I am hoping that volume 6 will give us some sort of progress. Honestly, if you’re a fan of super slow burn romance then you’ll enjoy this one. While I like slow burn romance, I think this one is being dragged on too long.

Todos los personajes son tan lindos y buenos ¡Y la relación que tiene entre todos también es de lo más bonito! Ya quiero leerme también la historia de Hirano con su compañero de habitación ♡

Shou Harusono gets it. My favorite volume so far.

I know some people find the slow-burn too slow-burn, but honestly, that’s a big part of why I love this manga so much: it’s about a high school kid dithering and overthinking so much that he’d put Hamlet to shame, and that’s exactly, one hundred percent, what it’s like to be in high school. Being a person is hard.

They’re too cute for this world. They must be protected. I love them. 🥰

[Demian]

[Clara 🌞]

C’EST ADORABLE AAAH

[Fany Herondale]

Miyano me representa

[Lupita Miller]

Es hermoso todo 😍 me encanta como Miyano se toma muy en serio el pensar qué siente por Sasaki, y también como Sasaki lo ama y no quiere impedirle nada.

Y adoro al presidente del consejo de disciplina, él sabe cosas 🤭 y si de por si me daba algo de curiosidad saber más sobre él, con ese final me dejo con más curiosidad.

[Silly Pick]

Ohhhh, this was was so cute!
Can't wait to read the next one!

[haya]

ugh I love seeing my babies happy

[Anastasia ⋆｡☽˚｡]

OMG! It just keep getting better and better, the scene at the festival was everything! It was so sweet and I love when Sasaki is vulnerable with Miyano. The cross-dress scene was hilarious and I love how Kuresawa knows about how Sasaki is feeling towards Miyano, by the way, he acts.

[Rebecca]

This series is the best kind of slow burn.

[❃ུ۪ ❀۪wiktoria ❁ུ۪]

totally my comfort series 💖

[Afifahcookie]

There's a bit more stuff going on, plot-wise, like the festival and the movie date. The highlight wasn't the festival or the drag contest but that one scene where Sasaki gets jealous and locks the door behind him to get some time alone with Miyano.

This was one of the better volumes overall but my favourite is still volume 2.

It's nice that Sasaki is willing to wait for Miyano but it's not moving the story much so this manga is definitely character-driven. Miyano is a 100% fudanshi (BL fanboy) and it permeates every inch of his life. I'm really liking how complex President Hanzawa seems to be especially since the mangaka introduced us to his family.

The slow burn continues but in a good way. This is probably my favorite cover so far. The story is sweet and gives the characters time to really consider their own feelings. If you prefer your romances to be fast paced this isn't for you. But if you like your characters to feel more realistic and uncertain about their decisions, you definitely need to give this manga (or anime) a try. It's adorable.

[Cassandra]

This is the cutest cover yet. Ugh another slow burn... Look I need a confession either way at this point cause Sasaki is too adorable and so is Miyano. I know we got acceptance and his concerns are valid when you are potentially gonna date a good friend. Also it seems like everyone knows but Miyano! But it is still very cute, I like that the friends are still in the story and it is not just he MLs.

[Kat]

picked this volume up pretty early (thank the lord for barnes and noble)

all the angst....all the FEELS. this had some UBER cute parts especially from sasaki. miyano, I am about to slap you across the face, because you are stringing this poor senpai along. just freaking admit you like him already!!!!!

[Kikie]

Miyano almost confessed to Sasaki in this volume! 😆 He's so close, but he still doesn't know how or where to actually confess 😆
On top of that, Hanzawa caught them watching a movie together!

I honestly can't wait for Sasaki and Miyano to officially become a couple 🥰
This series just keeps getting sweeter and more captivating with every volume! 🥰

[Finn Lectora]

Lo más destacado:

✨ La firmeza de Miyano en sus decisiones.

✨ La vulnerabilidad de Sasaki.

✨ El festival cultural.

✨ La “cita” de Sasaki y Miyano.

✨ La sutileza de los gestos casuales entre ambos.

[yare]

i guess he doesn't realize he likes sasaki till the next volume, but i like that miyano isn't in denial that he might like a guy, it's that he doesn't want to accept sasaki's confession and later on realize that he didn't actually like him like that
