Monkey High!, Vol. 6

サルヤマっ！ [Saruyama!] #6

by Shouko Akira

Haruna Aizawa thinks that school life is just like a monkey mountain—all the monkeys form cliques, get into fights, and get back together again. The school that she just transferred to is no exception. There's even a boy called Macharu Yamashita who reminds her of a baby monkey!

A class trip to Kyoto brings fun and excitement for the Kita High gang—but mostly confusion for Haruna. Between getting separated from Macharu and dealing with Atsu's declaration of love for her, Haruna's heart is all aflutter. Is Atsu right about him being the better fit for her?

Lloro amo al protagonista masculino, pero no me parecen nada compatibles los dos protagonistas.

3 de 5 estrellas.

While I still love the series, sometimes it feels like it's never going anywhere, and the characters have never been really developed thoroughly. I want to read more, and I love their romance, but it's hard to really feel for them the way I want to.

This one was ok. I just feel like Atsu should leave Haruna alone. Maybe they are alike in certain ways, but I don't think they would make a good match.

I'm a bit confused because I thought Masaru met Haruna's dad, briefly so it was strange that it was almost like they hadn't met.

Another trip, a school trip to Kyoto in winter, for the group of teens. Atsu shoots his shot and almost immediately gets shot down. Haruna finally decides to introduce her dad to Macharu, but of course things get a little complicated.

In this volume I thought maybe the kiddos were finally being kinder to the chubby friend, only to have Atsu make a horrible comparison between his 'boob's and Haruna's. Like come on guys.


I keep waiting for something interesting to happen but their relationship continues to move at glacial speed. But only two more volumes to go.

“All the things that you want to avoid .. He’ll keep shining a bright light on it.” Atsu tells Haruna.
“I know. That’s why I’m going to stop avoiding them.”
I loved Haruna’s reply to Atsu at that moment. She should want to grow and change into a better person in a relationship… not be stuck in the dark with Atsu because “he’s so good looking” ..
ATSU ANNOYS THE CRAP OUT OF ME. I wish Macharu or Haruna would tell him straight up to stop his bs!!!!!

I had a bad week a couple of weeks ago: I was so tired that I was sleeping all the time. I manage to read some manga but I didn't feel like reviewing them. And now so much time has passed that I don't remember what I read!

One thing I like about this manga is how the secondary characters have their own personality and it's very easy to tell them apart!

It really upsets me that Atsu is always picking on Macharu and the fact he keeps coming onto Haruna. He needs to stop interfering with their relationship. It's obvious she has strong feelings for Macharu, but she's always fighting it. She keeps how she feels from him. Why can't people just say what they feel? Why is it so hard to tell someone how you feel about them?

You know this one was my least fav cause of all the stupid bestie friend side plot. I think if the ML was the tsundere character I wouldn’t like it as much but i do like that they talk things out. This one was hard to rate but I HATE the best friend thing so 3 stars. Why would anyone be his friend?!?!

[Ana Paes · Rating 2 out of 5]

Notes: just what the fuck? Atsu is a helpless problem I don't even wanna think about. Now that shit with Macharu "feeling Haruna's chest" was sooooo weird. This is a shoujo for crying out loud!! What's happening???

I love seeing our main girl get all flustered about her feelings. These two are so cute and it sucks that they're trying to sneak in a love triangle!

[scrawnysquirtle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Atsu is so annoying 🤦‍♀️

[Linda · Rating 4 out of 5]

atsu back the fuck up

[Winna · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sudah tamat juga. Endingnya terlalu cepat.

Hanya menarik di awal-awal saja, sepertinya.

[Em · Rating 3 out of 5]

Finally... there is growth with the characters... but it's still disgustingly cute and not really doing it for me.

[Céline :) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Atsu sucks. :(

While I don't like love triangles, it depends sometimes. Anyway, this series keeps getting more interesting and kind of cute. Good volume.
