Kiryu babygirling on the cover is everything to me

The visit to Sakura's house made me giggle! These guys care about him and I need him to stop being so stubborn.

[라우라 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Este volumen me parece uno de los más intrigantes hasta el momento a nivel de querer conocer bien las razones por las que Sakura se aísla como lo hace, de verdad me da mucha curiosidad su lore. Además por fin aparece Endo (aunque aún recuerdo sufrir como 2 meses esperándolo desde esta aparición en el anime)

Awww Kaji He was just counting the punches and tryin' to fulfil his promise to Sakura for ten blows.

Sakura!! Everytime i read his dialogue in moments like these it makes me think that depsite the tsundere side of him, he can be so sincere that everyone ended up doing that too.

Damn!! These kids just wants to live happily with their childhood best friends. And I just realised how Suo is like always so clean after a fight. This guy's motto should be "stay always clean even during a fighting"

And OMG who's that new scary character someone more stronger and dangerous.... nervous and excited to see more of him!!
Sakura is the real man for keeping his promise he is the first baby girl MC and that's a surprise for a shonen story, not that I'm complaining ofc instead i love his bbg side.
And I need Ume to be my therapist to heal my anxiety and trauma 😭

OMG 57 was such a sad chapter. Poor Sakura 😭 the fact that we know this already but seeing it like this. The fact he does not have any food any items other than his school uniform is soooo sad. Sakura really makes me cry at times. I'm not gonna lie, but we need Sakura's full backstory asap. I need to know what the happen to him. I don't wanna guess but Was he abandoned for being "different"? From the backstory from time to time, it's obvious he doesn't have friends because everyone's so hellbent on bullying him for his unconventional appearance. But what happened to his family?

Kotoha is so sweet and understanding she knows exactly how to make things clear for Sakura our perfect girl. You don't see these kind of friends everyday who go out of their way to help you or want you to lean on them cause i can relate to Sakura a lot but sadly I don't have friends like Suo Nirei Kotoha and all those classmates and senpais.

I felt Sakura a lot in the last chapter I've read somewhere before that over independence is a trauma response. I'm scared that if I keep asking people for help, they'd eventually hate me for causing them inconvenience. Or sometimes, when they offer help, they only end up messing things which leaves more work for me.

umemiya hajime, the MAN THAT YOU ARE. the way he is so easily able to figure out what's bothering people, the way he is able to communicate through their troubles with them, the way he just so easily explains concepts.

the way suo also understands how sakura feels during sickness. omfg, these people are perfect.

the struggles depicted are so real, man. kaji helping out sakura, sakura admitting to himself he is scared of rejection enough to not be able to allow himself to rely to anybody.

MAN I AM GOING FERAL OVER THIS. this found family trope is making my heart hurt in the best ways

C’est bon je suis archi fan (je le sais depuis le début mais fallait que je l’écrive mdr) tous les persos sont trop attachants, j’adore les chara designs et vrmnt c’est tout plein d’émotions et de persos qui apprennent à grandir.
Ça invente vraiment rien de bien nouveau mais ça le fait de façon assez rafraîchissante je trouve donc : je suis fan.

[Mosaic]

Sakura sweetie idk who or where your parents are but just know they’re going to hell. They got my baby living in an emptier apartment than Naruto. No rice cooker no furniture no dishes no food closets empty. Just a mat on the floor, a hoodie, his school uniform, and a phone charger.
Idk what happened to him but whoever did it better be dead or they getting JUMPED when everyone finds out.

Baixada d'intensitat després del desenllaç de la baralla amb la Keel i un volum molt més introspectiu, centrat en les relacions entre els membres de la Furin i l'embolic de sentiments d'en Sakura, qui de mica en mica es va fent un lloc a la banda, però no vol sentir-se feble ni vulnerable. Maquíssima la pinya que fan tots, en especial quan en Sakura està malalt a casa ♥

[Say · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love them.
I super do.
This is my last physical copy (volume 8 is in Oct) & I am so looking forward it as well as season 2 anime.
You can’t help but love everyone here because this manga has heart. 💛

Super into it. Also, loved the calm slice-of-life type of chapters for a change.
P.s. madly in love with way too many characters.

[David King · Rating 4 out of 5]

Plot and writing got better. Sakura character growth was also solid, I feel like there might be a translation issue because the words feel lacking but the core message and the art suggest deeper meaning.

[Guady · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sakura learning that he's not alone, him having friends and learning to trust them and rely on them makes me feel things

[Katie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sakura got a cold, so his friends came in to check on him to see if he was alright. That was so sweet of them. I hope Sakura will learn that he is not on his own anymore.

[Elena]

sakura growth thanks to even more friendship love. the shonen sure can shonen

4.5🌟

I LOVE MY SWEET BABIES SO MUCH 💖😭💖 I want to give them all a hug!

First of all, let’s talk Kaji. I continue loving my boy so much. The jacksss from Keel has read him SO wrong. He’s obsessed with this idea of Kaji being a “tamed” animal that should be wild and free…when Kaji literally hates the times he’s lost control. Before he came to Furin, he was literally blacking out during fights and feeling disgusted with himself after seeing all the harm he’d done by himself. This dickwad from Keel thinks that’s his “better” self because it’s “stronger,” but Kaji knows better than that. He still loses himself a little in the fight, definitely fighting more aggressively after being goaded so much, but ultimately he still stops himself from going too far. He knows when he’s beaten his opponent and doesn’t need to keep going. Truly, an icon 😌 That other loser has no real friends. Kaji has friends who care about him and support him because he’s better than the trash he was fighting, and that’s that 💁🏻‍♀️✨

Once again, this volume also has another conversation between Kaji and Sakura that I really appreciate. Throughout the whole volume, Sakura is conflicted over how things went down in the confrontation with Keel. He knows that during the fight he was freezing up, and he doesn’t understand why. Umemiya points out to him that the reason why is because he cares so much for the Furin boys that he was paralyzed seeing them hurt. However, this is inexcusable to Sakura. He feels like he’s let the others down and has let himself down. He considers it a weakness that he wasn’t able to step up like he said he would. Kaji (and Kotoha!), though, reinforces to him that he can’t do everything on his own. It’s not weakness to admit you can’t do it all. It’s ignorant to think that you can handle everything by yourself. You can pretend like something that isn’t true is true, but it doesn’t make it so. Therefore, it’s important to rely on others to support you and do what you can’t or aren’t able to do at the moment, so you can focus on doing what’s most important.

I just love Kaji and Sakura so much 😭 They’re out here twinning, and I love to see Sakura starting to feel more comfortable reaching out to someone for advice. Kaji knows exactly how to give said advice because he understands Sakura (even if he wants to act like he doesn’t).

Honestly, this volume got 4.5🌟 because it made me so emotional 🥺 Sakura is so stressed by the events of the fight with Keel that he gets sick. This is when Suo, Nirei, and Kotoha realize that Sakura lives alone. He doesn’t have anyone to support him or take care of him while he’s sick. To make matters worse, he has no idea how to reach out and ask for support. He’s so used to having to bear things on his own that he can’t quite process why they’re coming to visit him and are trying to help him in the first place. This all leads to Nirei talking with Suo (and making me wanna cry damn!) about how he WANTS Sakura to learn what friendship is. He wants Sakura to learn how to rely on others and know that he doesn’t have to face hardships alone. He understands that at the moment Sakura doesn’t know how to accept the support he’s receiving nor knows how to ask for it, but he wants him to get there 😭 How is a bitch who loves the power of friendship not supposed to be a crybaby about that? Of course I got teary eyed! Nirei is such a sweet angel!

ANYWAY. I’m ready with the paperwork. I will sign the adoption papers. DON’T WORRY, SAKURA, I WILL GIVE YOU A LOVING HOME. I PROMISE YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE ALONE. I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU, MY SON 💖😭💖 YOU ARE TOO PRECIOUS TO BE NEGLECTED. YOU DESERVE SO MUCH LOVE AND KINDNESS.

P.S. I love me some representation of boys crying! We got Nagato freely expressing his emotions. That shit melted my heart in the anime AND in the manga. It’s so important for boys to know that crying is perfectly natural 😭

Vale voy a ir comentando porque tengo muchas cosas que decir.
Primero que nada, KAJI PELEANDO ME PARECE ESPECTACULAR. Me ha encantado el click que ha hecho en medio de la pelea. Me encanta su obsesión con los chupa-chups y es que de verdad su personalidad es increíble.

Me ha encantado la reconciliación entre Nagato y Anzai, y me ha dado mucha pena que Nagato se culpase tanto a sí mismo después de todo lo que sufrió. Con el abrazo entre ellos dos es que dios mío casi lloro como una loca en mi habitación a las 10 de la noche. Las escenas de ellos cuando eran pequeños pffff estoy rotísima. Nagato es una persona muy fuerte, pero se siente tan mal consigo mismo por culpa de la secta de locos 💀

Luego, lo de Nirei también me ha dado penita😭 Y simplemente me ha dado la vida Suo diciéndole que no haga eso nunca más, un motivo más para estar obsesionadísima con Suo. Sinceramente me parece una monada que Suo esté en cada pelea protegiendo a Nirei🥺

Por otro lado, la inseguridad de Sakura me rompe muchísimo. No sé si el autor habrá pasado por algún sentimiento así, pero definitivamente sabe de lo que habla. Me siento muy identificada con esa faceta de Sakura, y ver su historia en el tema de confiar en los demás y en tratar de no responsabilizarse de todo se siente como un abrazo cálido enorme.
Nunca había llorado con un manga y definitivamente con este lo he pasado mal en ese aspecto 😭

Luego Umemiya… Ay mi Umemiya como te quiero. Cada vez que sale este chaval os lo juro que suelta unas frases de película. Lo amo es que la escena en la que Nagato prueba el plato de Kotoha… Búa.
Cuando Nagato dijo “It’s been so long since anything has tasted good” casi me pongo a llorar en el metro (de hecho me leí ese capítulo dos veces, la segunda fue para poder sufrirlo tranquilamente en mi casa tho).

Y ya para acabar, cuando Nirei y Suo visitan a Sakura me ha roto el corazón x3. Que se esté dando cuenta de lo apreciado que es por los demás y que gracias a Kotoha se dé cuenta de que está bien no poder con todo solo…😭😭😭 Me ha parecido precioso como todos se esfuerzan tanto para ayudar siempre a Sakura, incluso Kaji aconsejándole.

Simplemente es que tengo un amor incondicional por todos y cada uno de los personajes de Bofurin. Este manga se ha vuelto muy especial para mí ❤️‍🩹

ch 51
guy awakens kaji's inner monster and then is like damn now he's pummeled me who would've thought

ch 52
yeah sakura berate the poor guy while he's already down in the dumps (they say tough love works)

ch 53
nagato anzai backstory that's sweet ig -> nii is like i am going to write the gayest friendships ever in every single arc and ur gonna love it

ch 54
i am never going to shut up about suo.
sakura used to everyone hating him he can't fathom why his classmates aren't blaming him. isn't that depressing
once again sugishita is stealing the show for me
endo introduction everyone calm down. why did nii have to make him be so hot like hands down that is the hottest drawn man i have ever seen in my life

ch 55
let's just have a manga where umemiya feeds the weak and downtrodden and gives them therapy
sakura blush counter a million (and not a single scratch on suo)

ch 56
sick sakura this is the perfect "filler" chapter. not really filler bc we get so much insight into the characters but idk what else to call it when they're not beating ppl up.
not suo saying he lives in a haunted house :(
"i've always managed this kinda stuff on my own" NOOO that's my son ik the entire fandom wants to adopt him and give him a better life

ch 57
kotoha here to save the day as always

ch 58
sakura's journey is so refreshing in a shounen. instead of learning to be strong, he's learning to be "weak" and then kaji tells him just bc u let ppl in doesn't mean ur weak. like wow.

La bataille contre les Kneel continue dans ce tome avec un Sakura qui reconnaît ses faiblesses et qui se désole de ne pas avoir protégé les personnes dont il avait la responsabilité. La bataille s’achève assez rapidement mais on comprend vite que c’est que le début d’une nouvelle guerre. Le mangaka à réussi à créer des événement bien réfléchi permettant le développement des personnages notamment de Sakura, je trouve que c’est très bien mené car cette “petite” bataille en soit n'était pas extraordinaire mais il y a un fond derrière et une remise en question pour Sakura.

Le petit passage où tout le monde voit que Sakura n’est pas venu en cours car il est malade et que sa classe décide de préparer un panier pour qu’il se rétablisse j’ai trouvé ça trop beau. Par contre, quand Nirei et Suo vont emmener le sac à Sakura chez lui, on voit où il vit : un endroit lugubre, sans affaires, ni cuisine, une maison abandonnée quoi… Celà m’a fendu le cœur même si je m'en doutais.

Un tome encore extraordinaire car développe les personnages et surtout le personnage de Sakura pour mon plus grand plaisir ♥.

La pelea contra la Keel termina y vaya forma de terminar, yo he estado sufriendo porque Kaji estaba recibiendo ostias del otro desgraciado y yo en plan: deja el chupachups y dale la paliza de su vida.

Esto va a mejor y vaya desarrollo de personaje de mi querido Sakura.

Kotoha y Umemiya: las conversaciones que tienen con Sakura son de lo mejor de lo mejor.

¿y cuándo Hiiragi a Umemiya qué se parece a él? lo he tenido que leer un montón de veces, porque me ha encantado.

Y no puedo dejar de comentar un par de cosas más que me han encantado:

1) se nos muestra la solitaria casa de Sakura: tengo la teoría de que en un futuro, sea un espacio más acogedor.

2) esa conversación con Kaji: no me la esperaba para nada, cuando antes te decían que él no sabía expresarse, pero le da una lección a Sakura, que lo deja sin palabras. Y como termina el tomo...

Ya tengo ganas de pillarme el siguiente.

P.D: en abril se estrena la 2ª temporada de este anime/manga maravilloso :3

Hasta otra.

“What…is this feeling? Ever since I saw them get beat up…I’ve felt something lurch in my stomach. …. What the hell? What the hell is happening…to me?”

Thanks to Kaji and his vice captains, Bofurin is victorious in their raid against KEEL. But it is hardly a victory the first years are satisfied with, least of all Sakura. If the previous volume was about Sakura learning about his role in Furin and what it means to be a leader, then this volume shows the beginning of his journey to accept the conditions of his role - the responsibility (blame) and the support (love).

I’m still not used to being so touched by a delinquent shounen series, but here I am reading Sakura’s struggle just to accept a little help with tears in my eyes. I’m glad Sakura is trying to understand what to do rather than run away. I can see the fight with KEEL having a long impact on Sakura and even Furin in the future…

[Emily Grace · Rating 5 out of 5]

"It's because you're scared of being rejected."

We finally get to the root of Sakura's problems. He fears rejection and isolates himself due to past trauma. We finally get to see a sneak peek of his current living situation, and obviously something terrible happened for him to end up living alone in a rundown place. I hope we get to learn more about this in the future. Sakura is a loveable main character to me and his "tsundere" attitude isn't surface-level. There's a deeper meaning to it, and I hope we'll get to see more of that in future chapters.

"There's only so much you can do on your own."

Kotoha showing up to see Sakura was a nice bittersweet moment. I have a feeling that Kotoha experienced something similar to what Sakura is currently going through...just based on what she told Sakura. Especially when she said that "But letting others do things for you, relying on them is always a bit scary at first."

[Aishah Humaira' (Mermaird ♡) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This volume makes me emotional (つ╥﹏╥)つ♡⸝⸝ the boys bonding closer after the fight with keel made it all more precious, but it’s heartbreaking seeing how much Sakura is beating himself up for not being able to protect everyone.

Despite their constant reassurances (especially from Nirei baby and even Ume (wow I actually missed Ume too)), his past trauma would not allow him to easily open up to others easily. The chapter where Nirei and Suo visited Sakura’s house made me feel worse 💔 baby boy deserves so much more kindness from the world 💔💔💔 I’m looking forward to know more about Sakura’s backstory and how he’ll navigate around this new thing called “friendship” that’s too-sickly-soft-and-fluffy (ಥ◡ಥ)

[RATA 🐀 · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dropped at ch 55 — Even if I think it's not a shitty manga like many others I've read, I don't see the point to continue reading this mediocre thing.

I don't dislike fighting manga, I don't dislike them if the characters have a good story. In the case of this manga, I've read 7 volumes and nothing was mentioned about the back-story of the main character or the "most notable" ones. I known more about some NPCs than about the charas that appear on the covers of each manga. 💀

How much do I need to read to know something about those mfs? I'm sorry. I think you just have a huge problem as a writter if you don't tell a single shit about your mc in 1300 pages.

[The Book Dragon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kaji vs the leader of Keel (no contest) comes to a close as Anzai and Nagato face each other and what happened to them. Meanwhile, Sakura is still struggling with his new role as Grade Captain, especially after the near disaster that was the raid on Keel.

And... I get it. His feelings are deeper and more complicated than about 90% of the BS you find in shojo manga and this series unpacks it beautifully. And it's in a series aimed at boys.

I got this book in the mail and immediately started reading it, that's how you know it's good.

[Mindi · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this one. The fight with Keel comes to an end, and Sakura has a lot of emotional baggage from it. We even get a peek into his life and where he lives, which I love. I absolutely adore that Sakura is slowly trying to figure out how to let people into his life. One of my favorite manga tropes is when a character gets a cold and the people who care about them show up unannounced with food and medicine to take care of them. I was so happy to see that in this volume. I cannot wait to continue this series.
