甘神さんちの縁結び [Amagami-san Chi no Enmusubi] #3
Tying the Knot with an Amagami Sister, Vol. 3
Atheist Uryu Kamihate is getting more and more used to living with three miko sisters: the buxom Yae, the diligent Yuna, and the sporty Asahi… but thanks to the success of the annual festival, Amagami Shrine is bustling again, and the sisters aren't enough to manage on their own anymore! When Uryu and the three call on their former teacher, Yomiko Tsukigami, for help, the shrine they visit and the things that happen there are all exactly how Uryu dreamt them! Yomiko questions their resolve and demands they face their future, but can those who don't know themselves know love when they see it? And why won't Uryu's dreams remain ordinary dreams?!

Uryu is having some wild dreams that are, to his dismay, proving wildly prophetic as well. Despite his attempts to fight fate, he ends up on a shrine visit with the sisters that might show him a way forward, provided he can keep from getting himself killed first.
This is the rare harem book where the main character is actually written decently enough that he isn’t some amorphous loser blob just waiting to luck into a pile of women and Uryu remains a big asset to the story being told.
For as much as he dislikes the idea of taking on the shrine, he definitely cares about what happens to the girls and that makes him particularly likeable and interesting. He has a couple of stand-out moments here where he stands up to people and he’s contributing to the story rather than merely flopping around being shocked at all the fan service.
No, it isn’t all perfect, this is a boob-squeezin’ bit of business and still catering to all the other usual genre trappings to boot. But it also has things to say about fate and destiny and how maybe they might not be so bad after all, even if trying to escape them makes Uryu even more miserable.
And if the girls’ mentor is inscrutable and cruel (and too handsy), she’s at least coming at it from the position of seeing who’s really got the drive to see the shrine succeed in the future. She’s far less villainous than the ending of last volume would have suggested.
Even better, though this is all to varying degrees of success, every girl gets something to do and becomes a little more fleshed out (yes, in both senses, although the youngest one is mercifully minimal still in that respect). Since this definitely feels more traditional than the fun of last volume, the extra effort here does alleviate that somewhat.
This particularly pays out for Yae, the eldest, who is a lot more than just the flighty one of the group. It was really interesting to see what she’s actually capable of. Yuna’s section is probably the lamest, just because it kind of gives her a trait that doesn’t do much except make her less interesting.
Asahi’s portion is sweet and falls in that middle area of being a celebration of family, but also rather naive in terms of throwing away a big chance just on that basis. The ease with which this gets wrapped up doesn’t quite sit right either, but maybe I’m just a pragmatist.
This isn’t the best series going or anything, and the harem antics at the heart of things really did not offer anything new this time, sadly, but there is typically a swing at sentimentality in every example of this genre and I believe this story does it a lot better than most.
3 stars - it’s been better, but I have read far worse elsewhere. In fact, having a story like this where you’re actually invested in the characters is, sadly, so uncommon that it deserves praise for that alone.

Uryu Kamihate has a big problem! He keeps have very strange dreams and then they seem to be happening in real life. It is freaking him out and interfering with his relationships with Yae, Yuna, and Asahi! So when the Amagami sisters set off to visit their teacher at another shrine, he woks on trying to stay away. But then Grandpa sends him along with a package they "forgot," he finds out that the dreams cannot be denied, but the dreams are just snapshots and context is key. An interesting addition to this series.

Après avoir lu le second tome, je me suis de suite jetée sur la troisième, autant profiter de l’avoir sous la main n’est ce pas! Vu comme le tome précédent se terminait, j’étais tellement impatiente de découvrir ce qu’allait nous réserver ce troisième tome. Et bien je peux vous dire que je n’ai vraiment pas été déçue le moins du monde. Ce tome ci était absolument divin à lire, je me suis tout simplement régalée pour le coup, je me suis encore bien marrée et j’ai passé un trop bon moment.
Dans ce troisième tome, depuis le succès de la grande fête, le sanctuaire ne désemplit pas ! Seulement, cela nécessite une nouvelle organisation et les trois sœurs ne s’en sortent plus toutes seules. Elles décident donc de rendre visite à celle qui a été leur mentor, la grande prêtresse Tsukigami, afin de lui demander conseil. De son côté, Uryû continue de faire des rêves étranges, et ses convictions sont ébranlées lorsqu’il se rend compte que ceux-ci semblent se réaliser…
On a laissé Uryû dans une situation légèrement embarrassante! Et c’était tellement drôle à voir. Ensuite, les soeurs Amagami se retrouvent submergé. En effet depuis la grande fête, le temple ne cesse de recevoir des gens et le problème c’est qu’elles ne s’en sortent plus.. Elles décident donc d’aller retrouver leur mentor pour recevoir ses conseils. Uryû m’a bien fait rire dans ce tome ci puisqu’il se met à faire des rêves prémonitoires. Il se retrouve toujours dans des positions délicates et va donc tout faire pour éviter que ses rêves se réalisent vraiment. Sauf que le pauvre il se retrouve quand même en plein dedans même si il fait tout pour l’éviter. C’était tellement drôle de voir ça en vrai. Ce tome était tellement drôle encore une fois, c’était excellent et j’ai bien ri en tout cas. Le moins que l’on puisse dire c’est que l’on ne s’ennuie pas une seule seconde avec Uryû et les trois soeurs, il se passe toujours quelque chose, il leur arrive toujours quelque chose, ils finissent toujours par se retrouver dans des situations délicates et j’en passe. Je suis sous le charme de ce manga.
Encore une fois, ce tome a su me combler. J’aime l’histoire, j’aime l’ambiance, j’aime les personnages, bref j’aime clairement ce manga. Un excellent moment de passé en compagnie de ces chères soeurs et surtout de Uryû. J’ai tellement hâte de découvrir le prochain tome, à chaque fin de lecture c’est ce que je vais dire et ressentir: vivement la suite!
