THE BEST OF THIS VOLUME😏🔥:

[Jessica · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn't like the introduction of Matsunaga's ex girlfriend.

[Estefany · Rating 5 out of 5]

Matsunaga-san y Miko-chan me fascinan son demasiado lindos y será que por fin el está empezando a aceptar sus sentimientos por ella

[Kayla Brunson · Rating 4 out of 5]

I feel like we are finally getting somewhere with this volume. I figured that her teacher would become someone more important to the story and I was right. I also got the vibes of a love triangle. And while I normally despise those in my manga, I could see a relationship between Miko and Ryo. Don't get me wrong! I adore me some Matsunaga, and I love the scenes between him and Miko. However, it seems like he would be willing to get back with his ex. We will see what happens next!

Anche questo volume l'ho trovato molto dolce e carino

Cute cute cute cute

[Erin Sharp · Rating 4 out of 5]

Okay.. I may be obsessed. Mildly upset with myself for not just buying the entire series at once. Now I have to wait 'til I have book 6 in my hands 😭

Des barres de rire 😭

[Aurelie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another lovely volume in this series. In this one, things seem to complicate a little bit as Meeko deals with her insecurity regarding a special someone's past relationship. It's been interesting to read a manga where the age difference is central to the story and the main issue, and in which the older party is very aware of that age difference and how inappropriate it is/could be. Not a lot of mangas seem to be this self aware and it'll be interesting to see how this story and romance progresses.

não sei porque continuo lendo se não há nada de interessante. por que um homem de 28 anos está interessado em uma garota de 17? por que a professora tá ok com sua aluna se envolvendo com um adulto? esperava um romance, recebi algo cringe.

[Brina · Rating 4 out of 5]

This story is still hilarious and sweet! Book 5 has me hanging on the edge, I cannot believe I have to wait for book 6 😭

[Peach Fuzz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lowkey want her to be with Hojo, but the kitney land stuff was soo cute

[Kastie Pavlik · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sweet and funny, with a few laugh out loud scenes! Kitsney Land is adorable and the scene with Miko's friends adds a clever dose of worry unrelated to romance. Hojo's character development takes an interesting turn. 🤨 Another few shojo formula boxes are checked off and prove that some of these tropes should be retired. The love hotel scene *is* funny, but it's such a trite sequence in series after series that seems increasingly forced.

If you like this series, you may like:

With a similar art style and wholesome feel, Waiting for Spring by Anashin is a high school romance/slice of life series about friendship, love, and basketball that recently concluded.

With over the top antics and hilarity, Takane & Hana by Yuki Shiwasu is an ongoing age-gap shojo series that doesn't take itself seriously and is laugh out loud funny with emotion peppered throughout.

Wieder sehr süß. Das Date in dem Freizeitpark war schön und beide hatten richtig Spaß. Man erfährt auch mehr über Hattori. Miko kommt auch mehr aus sich raus, verlässt sich mehr auf ihre Mitbewohner und lernt, was es heißt, offen zu sein. Die Vorbereitungen für das Kulturfest waren nämlich turbulent. Ich hatte recht mit der Klassenlehrerin und Ryo scheint sich auch zu verändern. Dass Matsunaga wirklich zur Schule gekommen ist, freut mich sehr für Miko. Mal schaun, wie es weitergeht.

Mi aspettavo qualcosa di più da questo 5 volume, una svolta diciamo!
Tuttavia resta tra le mie uscite preferite e Matsunaga san lo amo alla follia!
Disegni meravigliosi e non vedo l'ora del volume 6😍

[Jess | jadecanread · Rating 3 out of 5]

Okaaaaaay, I'm convinced I'll keep reading.

RECAP: school festival, creating costumes with the help of the house, finding out her teacher is her crush's ex lol, ending with Ryo and Matsunaga showing up at her festival.

3.5 🌟

[kaitlphere · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read chapters 17-20 on KManga.

I love that all the roommates come together to help Meeko and that she opens up a little bit with everyone.

[Pancakes · Rating 3 out of 5]

I loved the development with the side characters, but the plot with the homeroom substitute teacher i don't like that, and some part made me want to hide, but side characters amazing

[Hisgirl85 · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 stars. I love Kitneyland with Mickey Meow's.

Der Klappentext:

Erst ist er tagelang spurlos verschwunden, dann taucht Matsunaga plötzlich vor Mikos Schule auf und entführt sie in den Freizeitpark. Dort verbringen die beiden einen aufregenden Tag miteinander und haben richtig viel Spaß. Doch auf dem Heimweg bleibt das Auto liegen und sie müssen eine Unterkunft für die Nacht finden – und überall sind nur Love Hotels!

Meine Meinung:

Zuckersüß geht es mit dieser Reihe weiter. Miko ist wie eh und je herrlich jugendlich verliebt und auch Matsunaga scheint mit seinen Gefühlen und Zweifeln zu kämpfen. Besonders gut gefallen hat mir, dass in diesem Band ein großes Augenmerk auf den Zusammenhalt in der Wohngemeinschaft, sowie die Freundinnen von Miko gelegt wurde, die in den letzten Bänden vielleicht ein wenig zu kurz kamen.

Aufgelockert wird das Ganze immer durch den wirklich niedlichen Stil, sowie den ein oder anderen witzigen Situationen. Auch große Geheimnisse wurden aufgedeckt und sorgen für die richtige Spannung in diesem Band. Unterm Strich waren die 192 Seiten wieder viel zu schnell gelesen und das lange Warten beginnt erneut.

Toujours aussi bon ! J'adore ce shojo et le personnage masculin est génial !!! Drôle et rafraîchissant, une très belle surprise.

[ℂ ✧ · Rating 3 out of 5]

Una sèrie d'amor que aconsegueix presentar una relació amb una diferència d'edat de 10 anys (17 la noia, 27 el noi) com una parella cuqui, tot i que és una premissa molt complicada si no s'aborda amb delicadesa. Potser no m'ha costat gaire d'assumir perquè l'edat mínima de consentiment a Espanya són els 16 anys i perquè l'evolució de la parella és respectuosa, lenta i versemblant (tot i que hi ha dinàmiques que no molen gaire...). Els personatges secundaris són adults, viuen tots en una casa compartida i aporten certa gràcia a la trama principal. Com que és una sèrie llarga en algun moment perceps que s'està allargant el xiclet i que hi ha drames innecessaris, però és força entretinguda de llegir. Això sí, el final és massa abrupte, es resol tot en l'últim capítol i s'omet la part de la història més interessant: quan la Miko és major d'edat i pot començar a sortir amb el Matsunaga de manera oficial. Crec que el recurs del salt en el temps està massa suat i no funciona en aquest cas: necessitem més detalls!!!! :(

Whole series review - A slow-moving series that kept me reading as fast as I could.

The art is stunning and I really like all the characters. I loved the little side plot that involved two of the roommates getting together. So cute!

Ryo-kun deserved better! I honestly wouldn’t have minded if Meeko had gotten together with him! In fact, I would’ve preferred it!

The age gap was really uncomfortable... no excuses there. I know it’s fiction and things work differently for different cultures, but to me; it was gross.

[Chelsea · Rating 5 out of 5]

Chapters 17 - 20: I loved the chapter in the beginning when Meeko and Matsunaga go to KitneyLand together, it was really cute! I also enjoyed seeing Meeko getting ready for her classes café for the School Festival. It is also nice to see her and Ryo getting along more and how his character is beginning to develop as she interacts with him more. I am looking forward to seeing what happens next.

OMG SO MUCH CUTENESS !!!!!
*heart flutters *

I love Matsunaga and his overprotective nature. He always says the funniest things!
“I assure you, you meet one pervert every three steps you take!”
Haha!

I really hope that Miko inviting him to her school festival shows him that she wants to spend time with him. I hope that something can happen between these two (in a slow, respectable manner).

i felt so uncomfortable reading this like its not even the age gap its just the fact that shes a student who looks 14 and he looks 40 man pisses me off fr but like plot wise it was good i just couldnt keep reading
