Huh?! What does he even mean?! Stupid brat!! First he doesn’t push that girl away―after she kissed him―and now he’s saying THAT?? While eating squid? I mean, I know I’m the one who’s been avoiding talking to him head-on, and I did tell him to wait three months, but I was getting there, okay? Ugh, and as if that wasn’t enough to deal with, what was going on with Hakamada-kun at the festival...?

Actual Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Changing it to four stars because that's actually an almost but not quite favorite. Finally, the push and pull era is over!

It's torture to have to wait for each new chapter to get translated and added online. The story is getting infinitely less frustrating and more fun.

Reread November 2025 - enjoyed it but am really ready for their relationship to move forward more. It wouldn't be as nagging to me if so much time wasn't passing with so few interactions really.

(April 2024) I really loved a lot about this one! It brings up some uncertainty to their relationship and also some sweetness. Loved the bonus stories. I was excited about a bit more growth to their relationship.

Dove eravamo rimasti? Ah si!

Immagina che un ragazzo, un certo Naruse, inizi a seguirti come uno stalker, non faccia che ripeterti quanto gli piaci, cerchi ogni pretesto per stare con te e ti chieda come un disco rotto di metterti con lui. (preso da goodreads)

Dopodiché un giorno lo vedi mentre bacia un’altra…C’è qualquadra che non cosa

Di nuovo panico di Yuki per quello che ha visto, in più Naruse che le vuole parlare, ma vengono interrotti; e dopo che lui dichiara pubblicamente che non la amerà più, pensa di aver perso il treno e quasi crolla tra le braccia di Hakamada. Per questo quando Sho tenta di parlare di nuovo perché ha qualcosa di importante da dirle, lei si rifiuta categoricamente e fugge.

Da sola nel silenzio della sua camera, guardando la tazza che lui le ah regalato, realizza che finalmente vuole VERAMENTE qualcosa solo per se stessa e che non mollerà tanto facilmente. Esce per cercarlo e dirglielo, ma per strada incontra Ichii, quindi approfitta per dirle che lei Naruse LO VUOLE ECCOME.
Non trovandolo (di nuovo), gli manda un sms per vedersi e parlare dopo gli allenamenti del giorno dopo e…Ce l’hanno fatta sudare eh, ma…HABEMUS DICHIARAZIONE!!! Le campane suonano a festa signore e signori e benedetto sia il capitolo 33!
Lei non aveva capito che per quanto lui si mostrasse sicuro di sé, aveva comunque dei dubbi; lui d'altro canto non aveva capito quanto fosse difficile per lei esporsi.

Lui poi le spiegherà che aveva fatto quel che aveva fatto per distogliere l’attenzione di tutti da loro e quindi permettere a lei di concentrarsi sul club e gli esami in preparazione all’università, avrebbe aspettato anche 6 mesi e oltre per lei, ma non lo aveva lasciato spiegare.

Se fino a qui abbiamo visto il lento (e secondo me realistico) evolversi dei dubbi di Machida sul SE mettersi o meno con Naruse, ora vedremo i suoi dubbi sul come si gestisca una relazione. Non avendo appunto mai avuto esperienza nel campo, questa cosa le pesa molto, soprattutto vedendo le altre coppie e immaginando di doversi adeguare ad uno standard.
La reazione di lui poi quando lei si sfoga sull’argomento? AWWW cuore
Amo profondamente queste scene perché mi ci rivedo molto. La parte del flirt è “semplice”, appena però si passa al campo di battaglia più serio, quello della relazione? Nel cervello compare questa scritta: !ERRORE!

In questo volume vediamo sia Ichii che Hakamada farsi da parte, avendo capito entrambi che per Naruse e Machida esistono solo loro.

Messaggio di questo volume? Amare vuol dire anche ferirsi e litigare, ma vuol dire anche impegno l’uno verso l’altro.

Honestly, this story has becoming so repetitive, and I usually don't have a problem with angst like this, though this is ridiculous at this point.

This series is the EPITOME of one step forward...two steps back.

As soon as the romance blossoms, it is struck down and reversed and/or slowed, and Yuki is the culprit as she is always being both hot (in small action bursts) and cold (99% of the time) towards Naruse. I usually don't mind this in romance manga and novels, but it HAS be more than that. I need less of this and more of Yuki figuring out herself and being the strong person she ACTS as if she is because she's really not. At this point, she is still hiding her feelings and acting annoyed with Naruse, despite not feeling annoyed. It's getting old at this point especially with this external persona she creates for herself. Now, she finally confessed to him, though it's as is nothing has changed.

Also, apparently Yuki has two best friends that are never seen or mentioned up until this volume, which...is odd, but okay?

Cheeky Brat is a thoroughly enjoyable young romance. Yuki is the high school basketball team manager, a very stoic and dedicated individual who is always professional in her job and in her personal life. Stumbling upon her when she's showing an unusual bit of emotion, Haruse, the team's cheeky playboy, is intrigued with Yuki and pursues her romantically. Their romance continues to be about opposites that attract. Her dedication to avoiding romance is infuriating, but it doesn't make it any less enjoyable to read. I see many comparisons to Maid Sama, but My Little Monster also comes to mind. I enjoyed the story, and especially the likeably awkward third point on the love triangle. Additionally, the illustrations, especially those of the basketball players, are excellent.

„Wie sehr ich dich liebe, kannst du dir überhaupt nicht vorstellen.“

Ich weiß, dass ich mit Sicherheit noch um die 15 Bände vor mir habe, aber dieser Band ist mit Abstand bisher das Beste, was ich von Sho & Yuki lesen durfte. Der Cliffhanger im vorherigen Band war gemein (ein Glück konnte ich direkt weiterlesen ❤️‍🩹), aber die Art und Weise, wie die beiden zueinandergefunden haben, hat mich sehr berührt. Das Liebesgeständnis hätte nicht schöner sein können. 🥺
Ich freue mich sehr darauf zu sehen, wie die beiden in ihrer Partnerrolle aufgehen und sich weiterentwickeln. Love it, love it, love it!!!

Volume 6: Chapters 31-36

This volume has some drama with the girl who likes Naruse and the boy who likes Yuki. I don't care much about recalling their names.

I wouldn't have liked this volume as much if it wasn't for Yuki finally confessing her feelings. I hope this means they're finally dating.

The next volume will cover the cultural festival, which I'm very excited for! Almost every young adult manga has a cultural festival arc and I always had so much reading it.

As happy as I am to see Naruse and Yuki finally becoming a couple, I am choosing to drop this series. The overall flow of the story, to me at least, has been feeling very repetitive. Also, I’m just learning of Yuki’s 2 best friends and don’t have any recollection of the girls in the first 5 volumes of this story due to how much of the story is focused on Yuki being around Naruse and the rest of the basketball team.

HAAAAA CE TOME 6 LES GARS !
C'était une pépite ! J'avais tellement hâte de l'avoir entre les mains après la fin du tome 5!
J'ai adoré, j'ai ris, j'ai pesté contre certains personnages et j'ai vraiment aimé retrouvé l'ambiance shojo de ce manga avec le basket et la compétition.
Cette saga est plutôt pas mal dans son ensemble et je me demande bien ce qui nous attends dans les prochains tomes !

Grew up in the world of manga, anime, etc. 😅 I have no particular preference in terms of the genre but this one is so refreshing to read! So chill and just gives off "good vibes only." So funny too. Reading this makes me feel so nostalgic and reminisce about great times during high school and university days. Highly recommended! No drama here. Just awesome plot 😉

この巻の一番良いシーンは有希が成瀬からもらったコップを守ったシーン。

彼女のキャラは自分の欲望を静まる性格。弟達と妹達のためなら何でも諦めてあげるだけど成瀬のプレゼントは特別。彼女が少しずつ自分のやりたいことをやっていて自分の思うことをちゃんと言っていて成長している!いい話だ!

成瀬もかっこよくてかわいい!彼の嫉妬と怒りは可愛い。とても子供っぽい。自分のおもちゃが壊せたみたいな反応。

可愛い。

In volume 6, Yuki still is unsure what it means to be in a relationship--and what exactly she feels for Naruse. She's pretty sure he's serious about his confession... right?

Another volume down and Yuki is finally coming to terms with her feelings. (!!)
