This series follows a formula that I am starting to find a little stale. The characters and pacing kept this an enjoyable read, but this volume lacked the emotional punch that the best books in the series had.

Wow.
At some points, I wasn't really *feeling* the college arc here and there. Some moments felt off, some felt pointless, and I just overall wasn't really sure if this part of the story was going to be as good as the high school arc.
But MY GOD! "Rascal Does Not Dream of His Student" completely changed my mind on that! This novel is not only the best entry in the college arc so far, it is also one of the best entries in the entire series!
I was constantly enthralled while reading this one. I found it incredibly difficult to put down every single night that I read it. Kamoshida's writing is once again nothing short of perfect, the way the narrative, and the words themselves, flow is just magnificent, as expected.
But even with that expectation, I was still blown away by how interesting this entire novel was. The adolescent syndrome victim this time around really flips the usual structure of the series on its head, and it works so phenomenally well. I thought I wasn't going to like Sara at first, but I ended up becoming really enthralled with her. She functions as an amazing parallel to Sakuta and Mai, and her personality is probably the most unique and interesting in the series so far, I was so excited to see where her character would go throughout my time reading. And by the end of the book, I was left wanting to read even more. I'm not joking when I say the final line of the book gave me goosebumps and left me desperate to know what was going to happen next.
I cannot wait for the next novel! But until then, I guess I'll just have to read this one over and over again, something I'm very happy to do.

There’s a lot of deja vu sensations now when I read these books. While the stories are still new and Adolescence Syndrome keeps changing from person to person, kinda feels like we’re repeating things here. Sara’s story was ok, I understand why she behaved the way she did, very common for a high school girl, I think. And it was nice seeing Mai this time helping her get over the Syndrome, if a little unwilling on Sara’s part.
However, I’m not quite convinced with Touko’s character. She hasn’t been around enough for me to truly engage, and whenever she’s around she’s just rude. The fact she can just ‘give out’ Adolescence Syndrome to people randomly through songs is oddly convenient and not very convincing. There’s no reason for it yet, and I don’t know if I have the patience to get to the solution because I really like Sakuta and Mai. They are the healthiest relationship I’ve read in my life, and I’m really tired of random girls trying to get in their way for no other reason than to brag about it. The arc feels very different from when Sakuta was in high school…

Okay this volume was not my favorite. It was lackluster and I was annoyed by Sara. And I wished Sakuta would’ve told her to go away from the start but he wanted to make sure Mai was safe.. so dealing with a high school girl having a crush on him was all for Mai. He truly loves Mai.
Hell, I LOVE Mai! God, when she showed up on Christmas Eve and changed that “dream”, I was cheering! Mai made it known to Sara that she didn’t stand a chance!!! It was perfect! That was my favorite moment of this volume for sure!!!
And of course, the ending was ominous… I didn’t like that but I will be back next volume with my next review!

By this point, the characters are all comfortable with each other and things proceed smoothly, even when not exactly to plan.

First of all the art for this book sucks and doesn't help with my motivation to continue this story. I am honestly over the concept of adolescence syndrome and really only care about Mai and Sakuta's relationship, which while they do have some moments it is just not enough. Also, their interactions are always so chaste. I'm thinking that I will most likely end my run of this series here. (46K)
