Siento que la historia se está empezando a alargar mucho, este volumen (creo) fue la parte final de Suzuki y el tema de la reprobación. No estuvo tan mal pero el tema es que a lo largo del manga esta pareja no destacó mucho, se uso al principio como la razón del por qué se formó la pareja principal y luego ya pasó a formar parte del montón, a veces salían pero nunca tenían mayor relevancia entonces que de repente allá un volumen dedicado a ellos sólo me parece un intento por alargar la historia. Si al final todo queda como siempre, es como una historia corta.

Lovely Complex 13

El hermano de Risa odia la escuela y compañeros de Risa, pero al parecer le cae bien Otani.
Luego viene la visita de Otani a casa de Risa, a conocer bien a los papas, pero la cosa se complica cuando aparece el abuelo de Risa.

Hay ahí algunas cosas pues rara

Momentos divertidos, pero como que esa trama del abuelo no es tan entretenida

3 stars

I loved this volume because Suzuki finally mans up and fights for his woman. We (readers) see a side to Suzuki and Chiharu that we never seen before. As for Risa's and Otani's conflict in this book...let me just say I hate her grandpa, but he brought laughter to me in many parts of the volume.



SPOILERS:WARNING:
Hosokawa wants to take Chiharu away from Suzuki, since he believes that Suzuki is not worthy of her. Otani blurts out suddenly saying that Suzuki has a black belt in Judo. Suzuki is given one week to learn Judo and defeat Hosokawa, and in the end he does, and vows to build up his strength and study hard to get into Chiharu's university next year. Risa's brother Takato brings laughter and enjoyment into this volume. Trouble occurs when Risa's grandpa returns. He doesn't think Otani is worthy of his lovely daughter Risa, and sets out to plot an evil plan which is suppose to drive Otani away.A new girl comes into the picture by the name of Hitomi Otani. She's cute and flirty around Otani. Risa finds out of her Grandpa's evil schemes and believes that Hitomi is the girl her grandpa set up to drive Otani way from Risa...question is :is she that girl??

Einer meiner absoluten Lieblingsmangas und wunderbar geeignet für Fans von Coming of Age gepaart mit Teenage-Romance. Durch die Bank extrem liebenswürdige Charaktere und sehr schön gezeichnet.

Seriously, I love how even side characters get a lot of attention and a full story to themselves in this series.
We spend the whole volume 11 on Nobu and Nakao and this volume on Suzuki and Chiharu. Which is very realistic. we spend a lot of our time dealing with our friend's relationship problems and trying to find a way to help them.
also, this moves the spotlight to other characters, giving us a different vibe than we usually get from our main couple.

Reread - More side character stories!

Un drama más, un drama menos. El abuelo me molesta y asusta a la vez

Avis global :
Un manga marrant qui se lit bien.

J'ai bien aimé suivre l'évolution des sentiments des personnages et des réflexions autour.

Par contre pas top l'amitié / amour avec des piques, des critiques, des engueulades et des coups à longueur de journée.
En fait, ça crie un peu trop tout au long du manga.

C'est aussi pas assez féministe à mon goût et ça banalise du sexisme ou des agressions sexuelles... Notamment avec le grand-père insupportable.

Et à la fin ça traîne trop en longueur. Je pense que ça aurait pu s'arrêter avant.

Bueno, lo que está en el anime ya terminó en el volumen anterior, así que estoy muy emocionada porque tengo 5 volúmenes enteros de nuevo contenido entre mis dos hijos 😭✊🏻 no sé qué me espera, and I can’t wait to find out.

Sobre este volumen tengo dos cosas para decir: a) estoy enamorada del hermano de Risa y b) estaría para encajarle una buena piña al abuelo de Koizumi like bro what’s your deal.

3 de 5 estrellas.

Divertente, ironico e leggero. Mi è stata regalata l’intera serie per Natale.
Ho visto l’anime ispirato a questo manga non so quante volte durante il periodo delle superiori. Poterlo finalmente leggere è una vera emozione per me.
Pur trattando tematiche adolescenziali, l’autrice affronta anche argomenti più complessi: emerge, per esempio, il tema transgender, il che lo rende un manga assolutamente adatto alla nostra contemporaneità pur essendo stato realizzato a partire dal 2001.

Susuki finalmente lucha por Chiharu y decide que seguirá estudiando para poder estar juntos.
Takato, el hermano de Risa está molesto porque va a ir a la escuela de ella y eso no era lo que él quería, sin embargo al conocer a Otani le pregunta que por qué si él es normal sale con Risa.
Algo malo pasa en la relación de Risa y Otani....aparece el abuelo de ella y se va a meter en la relación de ellos para separarlos

Although I did like this volume and im glad they include the side ships in a way that fits the story and doesn’t come out of the blue just to add drama, I can’t say the same about the introduction of a phew new characters. Risas grandfather is straight up ridiculous I actually can’t phantom someone would act this way towards their grandchild. That being said Otani is a warrior for putting up with it cause I could never.

[Natalia Hincapié · Rating 4 out of 5]

Siento que este tomo bajó un poquito, creo que quieren extender la historia, no me molesta, pero si se nota demasiado.
Ahora el abuelo de risa me estoy matando, vamos a ver cómo termina todo.
También la relación secundaria del alto con la pequeña con gafas me gusta mucho.
