THEY'RE SO MARRIED i'm so jealous please i want what they have

Adachi and Kurosawa are so cute. In this volume, they announce their engagement to both of their families. I absolutely love the character growth, particularly on Adachi's part - he was so shy and anxious at the beginning, and now he stands up for their love.

Adachi is done working in another city and moves back to live with Kurosawa. They also decide to break the news to their families that they are engaged and love each other. Adachi’s family would make any person proud to be apart of them. They welcome Kurosawa with open arms. On the other hand Kurosawa’s parents took a bit more to deal with. He hides that fact from Adachi who in turn becomes upset with the lie that hid that truth from him. You can feel for both of them with how valid the points Kurosawa’s parents made about the struggles they might find down the line. You also want to root for them, their future and have faith in the strength of their love for each other. Also no Tsuge and Minato in this volume. 😑😩

I miss having a first-row seat to Kurosawa's thoughts tbh. It was so fun to see him act all cool while internally fanboying over Adachi, but, without the whole i-read-minds-magic, everything feels much more realistic. Thanks to that we got their families reacting to their relationship in this volume.

Adachi’s brother looks so much like him. Loved how his biggest issue isn't the relationship itself, but rather how Adachi managed to bag a baddie like Kurosawa. Lol.

Fujisaki-san's eating good tonight 🙏

Also can I just say how wholesome Adachi's family is, cause damn. They were all so cute and accepting. I felt so terrible for Kurosawa and his parents reaction but I know the power of KuroAda will turn their opinion 🙌✨

Also, I know the author mentioned it but I was a little sad not to see Tsuge and Minato this volume 😔

I think this one is my favorite by far. I love seeing how much their relationship has grown! It’s so cute I can’t!

"ella ama el boys love y el boys love la ama a ella de vuelta" se basaron en mí para esa frase no sé si sabían

[Heather D-G · Rating 5 out of 5]

Are wedding bells going to be ringing soon for our heroes? It sure looks like it! This is a meet-the-parents volume, which initially made me quite nervous, but the guys are up for it, no worries.
Their relationship is just the sweetest. I adore them both.

i read this whole series in the span of 2 days and all i gotta say is that gay people deserve this kind of respect and love

[Lizeth · Rating 5 out of 5]

amo, esta historia y al final que bueno que decidí leer el manga como siempre no todo se puede llevar a la pantalla. pero la esencia de la serie esta ahí... tanto en la versión Japonesa como en la Tailandesa.

[Sollenbum · Rating 4 out of 5]

There is a proposal in this volume! Adachi's family is really nice and welcomes Kurosawa whereas the situation isn't quite as untroubled with Kurosawa's parents. It feels fairly realistic that families in Japan would react in these ways so there is a nice touch of realism to this volume.

There are, however, plenty of romantic scenes as well as their first fight as a couple. Their relationship is allowed to have different facets, which allows a multi-dimensional relationship to unfold.

Same as the previous reviews: everything written here is on the assumption that you, the reader that has decided "this will be the one review deciding if I pick this up" amongst... literally any other one you could have chosen, either 1) have read the previous volumes, or 2) is alright with getting spoiled on them.

So yes... click away if you would rather not be spoiled. Or are having second thoughts about choosing a review that is... practically just a collection of random thoughts.


Some of my favourite things in this volume? Adachi cooking WESTERN food for Kurosawa, because I didn't even know he could cook so well :O, Kurosawa showing off his ring around the office like a proud hubby XD, Kurosawa's unhinged thoughts LMAO (still can't believe that if it wasn't for Adachi's mind-reading absolutely no one would be privy to them), Adachi bringing up the wedding he saw last volume to Kurosawa (is that wedding bells I hear in the distance? Yes, yes it is.), "When I come home... I'll be bringing someone I want you to meet." and oh my gosh the fact that it is Adachi bringing it up first?? Serious growth!

Then, of course, there's Kurosawa preparing a whole ass resume in preparation for meeting the in-laws (such dedication! And uhh honestly I might either overprepare or be overly familiar with my own ahaha... :')), THE COMPANY TRAINEE PHOTO!!! And oh my gosh it is hilarious how Adachi has always been aware of Kurosawa's presence but not the other way around until That Day™. And oh no I can't believe we're getting (mild) angst D: And NO DON'T YOU DARE DO THAT KUROSAWA don't try to cover up postponing meeting your parents by lying about having meetings T-T I hate the white lies like these the most, because the misunderstandings that arise simply break my heart. Thank God they resolve it in the very same chapter, at least. And awww more growth from Adachi! Because yes as much as people might want to hear the very thing that will soothe their worries, sincerity is just as necessary, and ahhh I'm glad Adachi didn't once think that using his magic if he had it would be the best way to get Kurosawa's parents consent.

No room for Tsuge and Minato in this volume, unfortunately, because so much development happened on Adachi and Kurosawa's end (not complaining though!). But yes, we got the in-laws blessing!! and next volume will be focused on flashbacks to Kurosawa's POV while Adachi still had his magic!.

[Thesincouch · Rating 5 out of 5]

God, the hecking relief. I don't care that it would be realistic if their parents reacted in a worst way (I mean Kurosawa's mum takes to bed but for like a page), I don't want to read about it - I had enough with my own coming out. They are in love and I love them.

Re-reading this series 2025

[Kristina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Adachi is still working in Nagasaki, but Kurosawa got a contract with a local pottery brand that brings him to Nagasaki frequently. Now they are able to see each other more often, and we can continue to watch their relationship develop. People are starting to notice the engagement rings, but no one is putting two and two together. Fujisaki is still fantasizing about the two of them, and is thrilled when she finds Kurosawa stays with Adachi when he goes to Nagasaki.

They have a really sweet moment when Adachi takes Kurosawa to look at a church as they both think more and more about what being together forever means, and now that Adachi’s back, they are able to move in together. Adachi’s mom and brother have noticed his ring, so he decides to bring Kurosawa home to meet them. His family is super supportive, and their main surprise doesn’t seem to be that Adachi’s brought a man home, but that he brought home someone of Kurosawa’s caliber. (Leave it to family to undervalue you.)

Kurosawa’s family isn’t as receptive, and we find out his mom had a breakdown when she found out, but they do come around and seem to be supportive once they meet Adachi.

Overall, another sweet addition to the series.

I love this series more with each installment, which is lovely.

So this volume is what's covered in the film, not the series, if you're keeping track. It's Adachi finishing up his work in Nagasaki and realizing he's good at things; it's both of them meeting each other's parents, which is when I decided while watching the film that this was a series I was going to keep. The difference between the two meetings and the ways in which the responses clearly stemmed from the families that shaped Kurosawa and Adachi are *so good* and so real and both of them have such great speeches; this is where I am fully, totally convinced that the two of them are in this for real. The art here is also marvelous with several vista-esque shots showing Adachi and Kurosawa being in each other's space and truly, calmly happy about it. Ah, I can't wait for book nine; I'm so proud of these characters for how much growing and talking and discovering they're doing, and Adachi himself points out how much he's changed and been changed by knowing Kurosawa. Such a great relationship precisely because it has so much of the "how do we live out the happily ever after" aspect.

Adachi transfer back to the original company where Kurosawa, along with several familiar minor characters, still works at, and it was cute seeing his coworkers at the transfer job send him off in such a warm fashion; I hope to see more of those side characters in the future. Although most importantly, Adachi and Kurosawa got to meet each other’s families to announce their engagement.
Adachi’s family was adorable to see everyone much more vocal compared to him, along with his niece and nephew just adoring their uncle and meeting his “princely” fiancé; hints at Adachi’s brother having a bit of a adoration-like complex towards him was also adorable. Meeting Kurosawa’s parents was a bit of a tense experience but in the end, it was very sweet seeing Adachi be so firm in his love for Kurosawa and seeing him stand-up to them. It was definitely one of those moments to show how much growth he’s gone through throughout this manga series and it was very rewarding to read.
This volume, however, didn’t have anything of Tsuge and Minato so I’m curious to see what happens with them since their little slow-burn romance ended on a cliffhanger.
