Play It Cool, Guys #5

by Kokone Nata

Wer kennt sie nicht, diese kleinen peinlichen Situationen, bei denen man am liebsten im Erdboden versinken würde? Mit einem falsch geknöpften Hemd vor die Tür zu gehen, den Ampelknopf nicht gedrückt zu haben und ewig auf Grün zu warten oder aber den Strohhalm zu verfehlen, wenn man gerade zum lässigen Schlürfen eines Getränks ansetzen wollte. Doch selbst der perfekte Insta-Boy ist sicherlich mal voll gegen die Glastür gedonnert!

Genres: Manga, Slice Of Life, Comedy, Comics, Humor, Fiction, Shojo

160 pages, Paperback

MY HEART IS SO HAPPY AFTER READING THIS VOLUME!!! 🥹🥹🥹

Honestly, NO surprise there because this is one of my favorite series ever, but having a new volume with new goofs from these guys was everything! I even ended up hugging my volume after I finished, while having the biggest grin on my face and squealing in happiness!!

I DEEPLY enjoyed hearing more about ALL of the guys' past and their supposed "love lives." I was a little nervous originally that this would lead to some kind of announcement of one of the guys having an off-page romance since they were all sharing past memories, but my fears were quickly extinguished! (As much as I love romance, I am so happy this has been a story purely focused on friendship, and would love for that to continue!) It was interesting hearing the reasonings of why they are single and/or not looking for a relationship and hope we will see more moments like this where we get to learn more about their childhood. This chapter definitely showed how even from a young age, the goofs were already starting and some of them didn't even realize it! LOL!

That was a super fun chapter, but the highlight of this volume was DEFINITELY when visiting Bear Cub Land!

OH MY GOODNESS THE OVERWHELMING GOOFY CUTENESS!!!

Kokone Nata really delivered with the fun storyline, the heartwarming vibes with Ririka, the SUPER cute hats, and the overall goofy adventure that resulted in these guys all growing closer. Those chapters have probably been my favorite in the series thus far because of how delightful of a reading experience it was and how absolutely giddy I felt!

Overall, another phenomenal volume that left me cheering at the end when there was a page that said volume six was coming soon! YESSSSSS!! Please give me more volumes of this wonderful series!

WAIT!

THE BONUS PAGES!

I won't say what they were because the utter surprise was EVERYTHING! Oh my goodness, I loved loved loved it and can say I will reread this volume just for those few pages alone because they were just that fun!

Truly another gem of a volume!!

[Zian B.]

More of a 3.5 star rating;
I really liked that this volume showed the guys being helpful in different ways and in different situations. It was also really interesting to see Motoharu struggling a bit with his next book and asking everyone else for insight on their lives as inspiration.
My favorite chapters were Hayate went back home for a few days and we got some insight into his childhood, when everyone went to Bear Club with Takayuki’s niece and sister-in-law, and when everyone went over to Motoharu’s apartment to relax.

Cute as always. I really love this series.

Me plonger dans cette histoire c’est m’assurer que je vais adoré ma lecture mais surtout passer un excellent moment. Et bien évidemment ça ne loupe jamais. Play it cool, guys c’est un peu ma bulle de bonheur en quelque sorte, c’est une vraie bouffée d’air frais et ça fait tellement de bien au moral de lire ce genre d’histoire. Un chapitre s’attarde sur un des personnage, l’histoire se suit bien sûr mais j’aime ce principe. Ça nous permet de voir qu’il n’y en a pas un pour rattraper l’autre haha. C’est fou à quel points ils peuvent être étourdis!

Dans ce cinquième tome, un rêve infini… et des bourdes en série ! Qu’est-ce qui réunit nos cinq protagonistes, aux âges et aux occupations divers et variés ? Eh bien, en un mot : les gaffes ! Parmi eux, l’auteur Motoharu Igarashi décide de partir à la conquête de nouveaux défis. Quelle conclusion l’attend au bout du chemin, entre discussions sur l’amour et séjour au parc d’attractions « Oursonland » ? Encore plus de bourdes de nos beaux gosses maladroits, mais toujours aussi cool, dans le cinquième volume de cette comédie d’étourdis !

Qu’est ce que j’ai aimé me plonger dans cette lecture encore une fois. C’était si passionnant, plus j’avance dans les tomes et plus je m’attache à cette bande d’étourdis. Je les aime tellement ces personnages, ils me font beaucoup rire, ils sont tellement étourdis qu’ils se retrouvent dans des situations parfois tellement drôle. Dans ce tome, celle qui m’a fait le plus rire je crois c’est quand Shun accompagne Sôma pour son nouveau téléphone, le passage où ils choisissent la coque de téléphone m’a vraiment beaucoup beaucoup fait rire, tout comme la scène dans le train, Hayate a du se sentir tellement mal, le pauvre j’étais mal à l’aise pour lui haha. J’ai particulièrement adoré le moment où ils vont tous à Oursonland, c’était si mignon avec la petite Ririka. C’était vraiment adorable je trouve, ils se sont tous prêter au jeu j’ai vraiment adoré ce moment. Et puis pour une fois, il n’y a pas vraiment eu de vrais moments de gêne comme on peut le voir souvent avec eux, bon ils ne changent pas mais c’est adorable!

Encore un tome que j’ai apprécié dévorer en un rien de temps. J’aime tellement mais tellement ce manga. Je prends énormément de plaisir à découvrir chaque tome les uns après les autres. Je suis assurée de passer un excellent moment pendant ma lecture. J’adore les personnages et l’humour qu’il y a aussi. Bref, lisez ce manga c’est du rire assuré!

Nawww, der Band war richtig niedlich, aber es gab auch wieder so viele Momente zum Lachen 😂 die Jungs killen mich immer wieder derbe, hahahaha. Gefällt mir echt doch viel mehr, als ich zuerst vermutet hatte. Und gezeichnet kommt das ganze doch nochmal anders und besser zur Geltung, als nur geschrieben, wie beim Roman 😄

This series continues to make me so happy. The bonus chapter of the guys as a pop group was so funny and thankfully reminded me of everyone's ages again. I keep forgetting Shun is the youngest one and not Souma.

[shiori no nikki]

sono un idiota cronico perché questo volume lo avevo letto mesi fa ma stava ancora nei tbr...........

[Erica]

I want to go to Bear Cub Land... Also the bleak nature of their love lives is so fascinating. Truly just destined to hang out with The Boys.

[RyNa]

Ce manga c'est un petit rayon de soleil dans ta journée de merde ! Tu le lis est tu peux pas t'empêcher de sourire 😁

[Michelle]

4.5

Such a good read for something that you know is quick and doesn't take much effort to read. The story is also easy to pick up, even after not reading for a while.

[Michi]

4,5

[Victoria Mink]

Cute and wholesome again, loved it. Such a comfort series

[Nichole]

Idle work read. Not typically a graphic novel or manga fan so this was a fun mini adventure.

(4.5) extra cute volume. i wanna go to bear cub land (with an entourage of male bear cub goofballs)!! and the idol member pages were hilarious.

[Jude]

not all engaging :( not much of a story, and putting the characters into boxes makes them become so predictable and boring after just a few pages, let alone 5 volumes

[Tuffnut]

Them going to the theme park was so cute that I couldn't stop smiling! I also laughed way too hard at some of their goofs. I need more!

[August Lawson]

I love the bonus at the end as an idol group

[Elizabeth Kemper]

The whole thing at Bear Cub Land was so fun 😁😁. I was laughing every page.

AND THEN THERE WAS NO VOL 6
