2025/02/25 Notes:

XD

Lost track of the mini-arcs within the main plot arc for the series. This time, the crew has a bet that there are non-top tier wines that can be better than the top 5 brands.

Interesting plot point was at the end of the book. It'll be fun to see how that affects the challenges of finding the 12 Apostle Wines.

[SamDojtez · Rating 4 out of 5]

J'aime vraiment beaucoup les personnages et les intrigues de chaque 'arc', la façon qu'ils ont de décrire le vin me donne à chaque fois envie de déguster avec eux. J'ai hate de voir où l'histoire va nous mener

This series has so many godsamn volumes 😩😩😩 I am enjoying it so far. Wonder if it will keep my interest for 44 volumes 🤔 still hoping for that romance between Shizuku and Miyabi. They would make the best couple 🥺😭
Lots of cool discussion of wine and the strategies of selling it to the masses, as well as flavors and everything pertaining to the taste of it. Miyabi is so cute, I can't wait to learn more about her ❤

J'allais lui enlever une étoile pour le fan service de Miyabi nue dans la douche qui se pince une fesse en disant qu'elle doit arrêter de boire autant de vin avec ses collègues et qu'elle va plutôt utiliser les spitoons (pour vrai, franchement), mais l'intrigue était géniale!

(Pour vrai, les personnages féminins dans les mangas qui ont des protagonistes principalement masculins, c'est vraiment pas top.

They decided on the first Apostle and I’m glad Shizuku won this round and got the house back. When he lost it initially, I was quite upset. Now I hope they stop using it for bets, the characters in this story really have a gambling problem at this point. I’m still not sure whether or not I should like or be annoyed with Issei. At the moment I’m leaning more towards like. I want him to develop and currently he seems to be willing to go just that.

Wow can't wait to see how this series ends, very addicting, will Shizuku be able to beat Tomine? Is Shizuku gonna give up cause he has less experience and still has much to learn? Who will find the 3rd Apostle?
To be Continued

[Bryn · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think this is the volume where we find out why Honma is Like That! He's usually played for comedy, although it's always been clear he has a good heart, so it was nice to see his backstory -- it was appropriately operatic and over-the-top and at the same time realistic enough to touch the heart.

Slightly less interested in this volume, but not worried at all about continuing the series.

Love the artwork in this series

[Johnathan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm glad to see that he has found the first apostle. I'm not to excited about the side story yet. Even though he is working with the enemy.

On aimerait bien que l'énigme avance un peu plus vite.

[Titish A.K. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Baca suplemen soal wine di halaman2 belakang bakal bikin lebih menikmati komiknya kali ya ... Tapi, duh, mana tahan +_+

[Noel · Rating 4 out of 5]

(3.5, rounded up; feels like we're already rehashing a lot of concepts)

[Barbara The MarSienne · Rating 4 out of 5]

La description des vins nous fait voyager et nous donne vraiment envie de les goûter. Concernant la dégustation des apôtres, on retrouver la premier dans ce tome donc ça sous-entend qu'il y aura encore beaucoup de tomes de ce manga.
