やっと終わりました!!

結局私の反応は鈍かった。このシリーズはあまり面白くない、キャラがあまり成長しなかった。社会と段階が上ったけど心や精神も全然変わらなかった。つまらない。

お勧めしません。

Me da muchísima pena que se acabe ya esta historia que me ha acompañado durante tantos años. Se ha extendido mucho más de lo que yo me esperaba cuando empecé a leerla, pensaba que la historia acabaría cuando terminasen la preparatoria, pero el final me ha parecido bastante apresurado. Cuando leí el último capítulo me quedé con un sabor amargo, no me parecía que el final estuviese a la altura del manga, pero los capítulos extra volvieron a endulzar mi experiencia.
Cuantos quebraderos de cabeza nos han dado Yuki y Naruse a lo largo de los años!!! Muy a menudo quería matarlos (sobre todo a él) por su actitud y su poca comunicación.
Me gustó mucho como Yuki se va ablandando a medida que la historia avanza y en más de una ocasión me he sentido muy identificada con sus sentimientos.
Naruse tiene un carisma especial y es muy seductor cuando se lo propone, pero mis momentos favoritos son en los que se comporta como un cachorrito, super juguetón y cariñoso, y cuando expresa sus sentimientos de verdad con palabras.
Prácticamente todos los personajes secundarios me han gustado mucho y muy a menudo eran ellos los que ofrecían los momentos más graciosos.
Me alegro muchísimo de haber leído esta gran historia que estoy segura de que se mantendrá en mi memoria durante mucho tiempo. Para mí esta es una de las grandes obras de esta generación y creo que está en el salón de la fama de la Hana to Yume.

Questo lungo cammino durato 23 volumi è giunto al termine 😭❤️ e quest’ultimo volume per me rappresenta il finale perfetto!

Ho letto diversi commenti che dicevano fosse frettoloso, magari qualcosa poteva essere approfondita, però a me è piaciuto davvero tanto.

🧡🏀🧡

Posso quindi dire che per me è la giusta conclusione di questa serie, che ha percorso le tappe più importanti di Sho e Yuki dalla scuola, all’università e infine del lavoro. Questo è uno degli aspetti che ho adorato di più di questo manga, perché è molto difficile trovare uno shojo non frettoloso, con una trama lineare che tratti sempre (non come semplice comparsa) anche degli aspetti quotidiani dei protagonisti (famiglia, presentazioni con la famiglia, matrimoni, lavoro part time e turni ecc) coinvolgendo così ogni aspetto della loro vita.
Per me è stato proprio questo il punto forte, una storia nata così per caso a scuola, proseguita poi all’università sempre tra partite di basket fino alla fine presente come filo conduttore.
Due protagonisti inusuali che hanno imparato a conoscersi, superare insieme gli ostacoli fino a diventare due complici in tutto, che sono cresciuti insieme ma rimanendo sempre gli stessi e niente li ho amati sempre. Sho è difficile che lo si odi, Yuki non è apprezzata da molti ma io l’ho adorata perché mi sono rivista molto in lei, soprattutto nelle sue insicurezze, nella sua difficoltà di aprirsi e nella caparbietà di risolvere i vari problemi.

🧡🏀🧡

SPOILER
I capitoli sulla nascita della nipotina e sulla partenza di Sho sono stati davvero davvero belli.
E l’epilogo per me è stato perfetto, coerente con tutta la storia e ho apprezzato soprattutto che fosse ambientato nel corso di una partita ufficiale con tutti gli amici e parenti, con Yuki che sprona Sho e con Sho e Hakamada che si prendono sempre in giro ma finalmente sono due veri compagni di squadra 🥹
E la proposta di matrimonio?!?! Stupendo!!! Ho adorato come sia finito e cioè proprio come è iniziata la loro storia ahahah bellissimo!!!

It's finally over!

Overall, I enjoyed the series and am glad to have reread it from the start to appreciate catching up with the end of the series. However, I don't think we needed 23 volumes to depict their relationship and growth.

The beginning and near the end were so frustrating at times because Yuki and Naruse seemed to be stuck in their same old problems: Letting problems build up because of temper tantrums and lack of communication. Like, the whole middle of the series was great when they were finally together and working to be better together. It seemed like they made 10 steps forward as a couple but then went 11 steps backwards once new love interests were introduced. (Btw, ) It just seemed that some arcs were dragged out because of the same problems.

However, I do appreciate how the author depicts their relationship over the years. I think this was one of the few manga I've read where it shows all of the ups and downs of being in a long-term committed relationship that spanned from high school to college, especially where they're both in different grades, where it wasn't just one long time skip or a breakup before doing a time skip.

I'm glad I could finally finish the series, but I wish there were some extras on the side couples! How are Usami and Suwa doing? What about

ahhhh finally done with my reread from the first chapter!!! phewww

honestly speaking, it's been ups and downs with these guys (just like their relationship). I've been reading their series since years ago (there was only 20-something chapters back then).

I'm glad naruse and yuki found each other, that they completed each other with their unique personalities too, like who would've thought they'd be a match right. And I'm glad to see their character developments albeit it's too slow for my likin sometimes. but yeah they did it they got married and be happy.

still, i would like to point out that i think it's better to not prolonged hakamada's obsession with yuki like that tho. it would be nice too focus on their developments on basketball too. and let other side couples have their own stages. they're pretty cute like usamin and himiko, the captain and natsumi, suwa and usami fuuka, hence i would be happy if you show me misuzu captain kira more than having to deal with hakamada's homewrecker tendency.

if the mangaka introduced someone new as hakamada's new loveline it would be so much better so we can see them playing basketball more.

also my issue with yuki is ik she's developing but sometimes i think it's too slow, like they've been dating for months and even years and she still sucks at communicating. i mean atp she has to have more courage to speak freely with naruse about their relationship right??? so yeah i feel like they're stuck, they're moving but at the same time it feels stuck.

but yeah n e ways i still love them I've been with them for years would love to see the ryuuhoku, misuzu and osaki gang together again.

Okuduğum en keyifli ve samimi serilerden biriydi. Hiç bu kadar romantik, aşk dolu bir seri okumamıştım. Çiftin tüm hayatı -ne yazık ki finale kadar- her şeyiyle bizimleydi, onların beraber büyümesini okumak inanılmaz mutlu etti.

Baskete dair detaylar da çok hoştu, daha çok maç olsaydı hiç sıkılmazdım sanırım. Hem spor hem romantik komedi bir arada olunca tadından yenmedi.

İki şeyi sevmedim sadece:

1. Sebebini bilemiyorum ama pandemi olabilir gibi geliyor, 22 cilt boyunca her şeyi işleyen ve hiçbir detayı bırakmayan yazar son kitapta yüzeysel bir anlatım tercih etmiş ve sürekli zaman atlaması yaparak final yazmış. Hiç zorlamadan, gerçekten kendi doğal akışıyla yazsaydın 23. ciltte en az 5 cildin olayı vardı ama yazmamış, bu beni çok üzdü.

2. Üçüncü kişilerin çiftin ilişkisine dahil oluş noktaları inanılmaz gereksiz, alakasız ve saçmaydı. Hele ki birinin yıllarca ama yıllarca denemesi ve asla sert bir ret almaması çok sinir bozucuydu. Aksiyon olsun diye katılan detayları asssla sevmedim, sevmeyeceğim. Kitabı uzatmak için bunun yerine elli çeşit şey yazılabilirdi.


Bu ikisi dışında harika bir romantik komediydi. Karakterleri de çok sevdim, çizimleri de, kurguyu da. Benim gibi aşka aşık herkese tavsiye ederim.

It’s over! I definitely don’t think that the series needed to go on this long… I didn’t care for the ending. I knew that I wouldn’t like it once Naruse was offered a chance to go abroad… So shojo typical. I really hated that they were being weird about it, saying they can’t even video call each other. Also, why can’t they “become better people” together???? Why must he go abroad for Yuki “to grow as a person”? I hate that trope. It would be better to show the struggle of a long distance relationship vs time skipping to them reuniting. It doesn’t make it worth it for the readers.

Anyway, I give this series a 3/5 stars.
The art is okay. The story isn’t captivating. Just back and forth fights, love triangles and some basketball thrown in the mix. It was really a struggle to finish it but I’m a perfectionist so I couldn’t NOT finish it lol. Also, the characters were okay. Naruse wasn’t my favorite at the beginning but he grew on me. I like Yuki because we are similar. But Hakamada was my favorite character. I wanted to see more for him. Why couldn’t the mangaka humor us with a chapter of “what if Yuki picked Hakamada instead”??? Lol

Der Abschlussband hat mir nochmal richtig gut gefallen, auch wenn es nicht für die 5* gereicht hat, da ich mir da doch noch etwas mehr gewünscht hätte.

Namaiki Zakari ist einer der Manga, bei dem ich die ersten Bände vor Jahren gelesen habe und danach irgendwie nicht mehr dran gedacht habe, obwohl ich ihn keineswegs schlecht fande. Irgendwann musste ich ihn also wieder hervor holen und zu Ende lesen.

Größter Kritikpunkt für mich bei dieser Reihe ist, dass sich bei 23 Bänden einiges anfühlt wie bereits mehrfach gelesen. Mancher Inhalt der Story wurde hinter sich gelassen, nur um ein paar Bände später dieselbe / eine ähnliche Situation zu schaffen, nur mit anderen Charakteren.

An sich gefällt mir die Reihe immer noch gut, die Beziehung zwischen den zwei Protagonisten ist süß und gleichzeitig amüsant, auch wenn manchmal anstrengend. Aber wir sehen im Fortlauf der Reihe, wie die Zwei individuell, aber auch in ihrer Beziehung wachsen. Und auch die Geschichten der Nebencharaktere wurden gerne gelesen.

I will review everything here then later review each volume individually (if I remember haha) when I reread them.

Sooo ya I loved all of it. I loved Naruse of course. And overall the whole series. I think it was pretty realistic in showing relationships and all that happens in them.

I liked Usami and Suwa but felt like that whole thing with Suwa and Yuki was totally unnecessary and kind of pointless. Or the points it was therefore could've been made with involving him and Yuki.

I also liked the fourth year and the other manager.

And because he got these two side relationships I don't see why we didn't get one for Shizuka. I really would have liked to see him move on and find his special person. I definitely feel he deserved that considering all he did for Yuki and, like I said, considering we saw other people's relationships.

Lastly, I would've liked it if Naruse had found a different profession other than basketball.

Ending thoughts of series over all. Both MC are frustrating at different points with not miscommunication just lack of it. There is a a lot of what I would consider dub/noncon events. Just taking kisses, groping, sex when she is drunk or doesn’t seem that into it. I truly wish we ever actually got a scene where she was into kissing him or sex. It was very few maybe 2 that I can think of. But once we got more side characters that weren’t just rivals to creat jealous between the characters I enjoyed it.

یکی از قشنگترین مانگاهایی که خوندم ایشون هستن🫴🏻😁
واقعا خیلی قشنگ یک رابطه و ادما رو توصیف کرده بود
از اولین برخورد تا بزرگترین مشکلات رابطه و پستی بلندی‌هاش
حسای خوبش و تصمیمای سختی که باید بگیریم خیلی وقتا
حسایی که گنگه ،ترسایی که سالها باهشون دست و پنجه نرم کردیم حالا باید باهشون روبرو بشیم
خیلی قشنگ نشون میده که یک رابطه خوب قرار نیست گل و بلیل باشه
دعوا داره دوری داره سختی داره و ….
در کنارش کلیم حس خوب داره
خلاصه که برای من جذاب بود این داستان😌🤏🏻

No puedo creer que ya se terminó 😭 amé este manga, esta pareja me enamoró completamente, son muy lindos. Me encantó ver cómo Yuki poco a poco se abre a sus sentimientos, cómo se ablanda y se vuelve más cariñosa con Naruse. Es un romance lleno de altibajos, mucho drama y conflictos, lo que genera que por momentos la historia se vuelva aburrida, no obstante, creo que vale muchísimo la pena 😍

Me alegra tanto haber decidido retomar y terminar este manga despues de tantos años, la historia si es muy cliche y la mayoria del tiempo simplemente son ellos moviéndose en círculos sobre los mismos problemas de siempre, pero aun asi lo disfrute mucho!!! Espero poder ver algun dia animada esta historia

For the people who managed to push through... how is the ending? Did the series get better?
Please spoil me because I have to think if the ending is worth going through the frustrating plot one more time (I have forgotten a lot)...

Il timeskip alla haikyuu LA PROPOSTA DI MATRIMONIO NARUSE CHE PALPA IL SENO DI YUKI COME AL LICEO

Questo manga non è speciale, però mi resta lo stesso qualcosa dentro e sono sicuro che un po' di nostalgia e mancanza ci saranno

Il finale di una serie che ho amato. Ci sono stati volumi bellissimi e volumi carini. Ma gli ultimi tre volumi sono stati spettacolari. Ed è sempre difficile lasciare andare una serie che mi ha tenuto compagnia per tanto tempo...
Naruse e Yuki avranno sempre un posticino speciale nel mio cuore
