Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible #6
Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible, Vol. 6
Junta Shiraishi blends into the background so much that even his classmates fail to spot him.
His goal is to make the most of his high school years, but that pesky invisibility gets in the way…until Nagisa Kubo notices him! Kubo’s playful teasing kicks Shiraishi out of his comfort zone and begins a friendship—or maybe something more?
Sports day has arrived! Shiraishi, Kubo, Tama, Hazuki, and Sudo team up to compete in the six-legged race. Can Kubo help Shiraishi earn his first group-event victory? As challenging as sports day is for Shiraishi, it might not be as intimidating as having a girl in his room…

Sports day continues, and adversity is not going to come between Kubo and her aspirations for Shiraishi. The two of them continue to get closer, but actual progress is about as tangible as Shiraishi is to the naked eye.
Come for some low-wattage stories of affable charm, stay for same, because there’s not a heck of a lot else in this volume. The high energy of last time is dialled way, way back such that I read this less than 24 hours ago and can hardly remember it.
The sports day thing kind of fizzles out amidst Shiraishi’s realization that being seen means he’s no longer safe in the bubble that anonymity provided him before, but it’s not like the genie can go back in the bottle. It’s an interesting idea, but basically just boils down to a quick “friend power” moment that’s over in a blink.
There’s precious little to Shiraishi this time around minus his worries about these things and a couple of literal word-for-word reiterations about how Kubo has changed his life. It’s something, just not much something.
Which means it’s down to Kubo’s pout to save the day, aided by her happily freewheeling sister. Her sister manages to show the inherent danger of video calls, but she’s also very moved when Kubo has a friend over for an evening of incredible cuteness. She’s probably this volume’s MVP.
There’s nothing wrong with what we get - Kubo and Shiraishi have a fun all-nighter, Kubo figures out that somebody might have adjusted their coffee preferences for her benefit, and somebody else figures out that they can find our hero all on their own, which is treated with the zeal of somebody seeing a magic eye puzzle for the first time.
But it’s not as funny, barely managing an actual joke, nor does anything happen of note. This is in that dead zone that many manga with a romantic angle wind up - where the plot probably could wrap up, but won’t, and we need a bit more to keep our interest as the stretch goes on.
Plus, it eats up the page count this time by presenting the original one-shot, which is always one of those moments that makes me feel like we’re getting less bang for the proverbial buck. By which I mean actual buck. This one is especially egregious because it’s really not much different than the story it turned into. At all.
The most interesting part of it all is the mangaka’s reveal that nobody liked this idea at the start but them, and they just kept at it until it got published. That takes a paragraph out of a couple dozen pages and it’s a story I would way rather hear than seeing the story’s opening salvos a second time around.
3 stars - it’s not bad, but I sure wouldn’t call this essential reading. I’ve greatly enjoyed some of the good laughs and simple joys, and there’s a little of that this time, but it’s not nearly reaching the heights of this series when it’s firing on all its cylinders.

The kids just keep making their sweet, gentle, blushing way through life. No real drama, but it's all just so **nice**.
The bonus chapter is the original Kubo one-shot that earned the creator an on-going series.

A step back in quality, at this point feeling like a water-treading stage...
The highlight is definitely the chapter in which Kubo's friends discuss her relationship with her sister and how rather than letting herself be consumed with jealousy or resentment she uses her sister as an inspiration.

This series get sweeter and better with each volume. I love that it avoids the drama for more character building and tender moments. Shiraishi continues to become more confident and comfortable and is making more friends. He participates in sports day and is all geared up for the school camping trip.

Still a very cute series that I'm very much into, we're kind of expanding into the friendship groups now as it's been made evident that couple are going to get together. I can't believe we are half way through the series already, it's such a quick and fun read that you kind of lose track of time.

Another great time🥰 this series is becoming near and dear to my heart for sure. I love it. I do wonder how long this is going to last though. I hope it doesn't go stale after a while💕

This series has been such a wholesome break from everything. Love the side characters, love how cute and tender the interactions are between Kubo and Shiraishi.

The results of the Sports Festival, unexpected visits, studying for exams, staying up late, and falling asleep in class; as Kubo and Shiraishi still dance around their feelings for each other.
But in the meantime, more about Kubo's relationship with her friends, her sister, and her cousin. Also hints about a class camping trip.
Also, included at the end is the original one-shot for this series.
This series has 12 volumes.
