Parece que Chigira y Maaya van acercando posturas pero ¿qué forma parte de la realidad y qué forma parte del juego? Ante la duda Maaya decide seguir jugando, así que empezará a interesarse por las cosas que le gustan a Chigira, aunque el desgaste que supone conquistar a alguien por un entretenimiento ¿de verdad vale la pena? Por si esto fuera poco, se acerca el día de los enamorados y las dudas sobre cómo actuar ese día acaban convirtiéndolo todo en un auténtico rompecabezas.
I'm really pleased to know that the author quickly realized that they had a problematic character in Maaya, because that was really the main point against this series. With Maaya written to be a more balanced person, this has moved from "um, maybe if it's on sale" to "cute enough to follow."
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!’ I NEED THE NEXT BOOK NOW!!!!! I LOVES IT MY PRECIOUS!!!
Ok, I’m all seriousness, I 100% gasped when I saw that HE WEARS GLASSES!!!!
I am SO into this series right now. I needed some positivity and this brought it to me in SPADES.
I was accused by a friend of being overly harsh on the last few books I reviewed/DNFd and I can happily say I’m NOT in a slump and those books DID in fact, SUCK, because THIS book is so amazing it proved I CAN INDEED have joy in my life. So THERE!
5, I NEED THE NEXT ONE NOW HOW CAN I WAIT FOR IT, stars.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
¡¿Dónde está el tomo 3?! Por favor, Norma, no me hagas esto y publica ya el siguiente por dioooooooos!! Ese FINAL! no supero de verdad. Me encanta que Chigira sea tan soft aunque sea el típico guaperas popular y super atlético <3. Kisagari date cuenta amigaaaa! No quiero esperar más, de verdad. Help.
Kisaragi and Chigira’s dance of one-sided feelings continues and begins to stretch the fabric of reality. With a singularly dense protagonist and moody boy at the centre of it all, there’s a lot of ignoring the obvious afoot...
Look, I’m not going to blame the mangaka too much here - they ended up not only in hospital, but weren’t expecting this to go beyond four chapters and then it was popular enough that it became a much longer series (for the record, I adore this sort of ‘inside baseball’ stuff whenever it shows up in the afterword).
Unfortunately, that means the entire premise is being pushed far beyond the realm of belief, even for shojo manga, where series typically either toss their premise aside and just do what they want or they run with them farther than they were meant to. This is, indeed, one of the latter types.
Which, hey, if I got my book turned into an ongoing I’d do the same thing, not judging. And outside of my grumbling about that particular aspect, these two are still pretty fun. However, after a volume where the speed of plotting was that of a short manga spread over a couple of chapters, trying to put the breaks on to give the story more legs is nigh impossible and the book never quite recovers from this wobble.
While the Valentine’s Day events especially are as predictable as they come, you have to love Kisaragi’s moment when she gets her druthers and forges ahead. And the whole sequence spinning out of that is, honestly, pretty dang romantic in a way that a lot of romance manga don’t always do that well.
Sadly my moment of hope that this is about to turn into a running manga is brutally kiboshed prior to that, but I shall survive (and it’s a good reminder of how hard Kisaragi is trying). Still, this is a pairing that makes sense and I really like what the series ended up doing with our erstwhile rival, who is a lot less rival-y than you might have expected and that little tweak makes him more interesting (plus his secret knowledge of Chigira’s past).
Otherwise, Chigira is caring but can’t be as up front as he might want (for REASONS) and Kisaragi is mired in her own head far too often, making this one of those stories where the heroine is also her own villain because nothing is making any of this difficult except the nonsense she keeps convincing herself of. Communication, people!
3 stars. Scattered moments of some very sweet sentiment, but lots of use of the words ‘one-sided feelings’ to the point of annoyance. I’m definitely not as up on the series as I was at the start, though at least I know why. Despite that, when we get those really nice moments between our pair this thing can really sing and it still makes for a good, if sometimes awkward, read.
J’avais trouvé le premier tome sympa, mais assez classique et déjà vu dans la construction de son histoire et son schéma narratif. Cependant, les dessins, la mise en pages m’avaient plus que charmée.
Cette suite est donc dans la même veine que le premier tome, mais j’admets que si j’ai trouvé nos personnages mignons et tout, l’héroïne, Maaya, m’a un peu agacée. Parce qu’elle croit que tout ce qu’elle est vit avec le héros, Chigira, est faux alors que les mots de ce dernier, ses actions tendent à penser le contraire. Le problème, c’est que Maaya a un tel manque de confiance en elle qu’elle ne voit pas ce qu’il y a devant elle, à savoir Chigira. Et ça nous offre parfois des situations limite ridicules.
Bon, il est vrai que celui-ci est assez énigmatique dans ses manières avec elle et ne parle jamais franchement. Sans doute parce qu’il a peur de se prendre un vent, je ne sais pas. Pourtant, c’est le beau gosse du lycée. Ici, entre nouvel An et la Saint-Valentin, Maaya et Chigira vont continuer à jouer le jeu du faux couple, à tourner autour, jusqu’à ce que Chigira lui fasse une nouvelle proposition.
En toute franchise, si And yet, you are so sweet ne casse pas des briques, que son scénario est éculé et par moment les réactions de l’héroïne m’ont fait lever les yeux au ciel, j’ai passé un bon moment de lecture. D’ailleurs, j’ai envie de persister avec ce titre voir où ça va m’amener. Sait-on jamais, on peut avoir des surprises.
👍🏻 Se trata de un shojo sencillo, sin demasiadas pretensiones que deja claro desde el principio lo que vamos a encontrar: una chica “del montón” que recibe la ayuda del chico guapo y popular que claramente siempre ha estado por ella, pero nunca lo ha reconocido 🫶🏻
👍🏻 Fake dating: los protagonistas empiezan una amistad con toques románticos falsos, que seguramente acabará como un romance real 😏
👍🏻 El dibujo es una maravilla 👌🏻
Ahora bien…👇🏻
👎🏻 No me ha convencido la manera en la que se ha gestionado el supuesto “fake dating”, ya que era una falsa relación, pero sólo entre ellos! El resto de compañeros ni saben que se conocen… Por lo que la gracia del cliché se pierde totalmente… 😩
👎🏻 El ritmo narrativo no me ha terminado de convencer. En estos dos tomos no se avanza prácticamente nada en la trama. Únicamente tienen finales prometedores pero que, al final, quedan en nada…
👎🏻 Por ello creo que llega un punto en que la trama se estanca y se quitan las ganas de seguir avanzando 🤔
Después de pensarlo mucho, he decidido no continuar (𝘢𝘭 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘭 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘰) con la compra de esta obra manga. Soy consciente que hay historias que mejoran a medida que se avanza con su lectura, pero en mi caso he pedido el interés por esta historia 🥹
Honestly this manga seems to be a test of Patience. I mean it's obvious both of them like each other but neither one of them wants to confess. I understand Maaya because of her trauma from before, but I don't understand why Chigira just won't confess? It's obvious he likes and cares for her but still? Also is it just me or does Chigira-kun only has "one face" the entire time? I might try reading the 3rd volume during my free time but if it's still as bland as these 2 volumes I might drop this.
No se, pues a mi me ha gustado bastante 😂 esta muy llena de clichés, y la historia se centra en sus dos personajes principales pero mira... Es muy divertida y disfrutable. Tiene su puntillo tóxico típico de los romances japoneses pero al ser shojo esta pensado para que guste al público femenino así que... De delicia.
Otro tomo lleno de dulzura e inseguridades por parte de Maaya. ㅤ La historia avanza, el tiempo pasa y Chigira y Maaya van cumpliendo más cosas de la lista, pero Maaya cada vez tiene más miedo por los sentimientos que crecen en su interior hacia Chigira, y el posible rechazo que ello traiga. ㅤ Además ha aparecido un nuevo personaje, Tezuka, que tiene pinta de que va a liar a la pareja más que ayudar. ㅤ Sigo enamorada de esta historia tan soft, sobre todo ahora que Chigira parece que ha dado un paso más avanzado en el "juego". Ojalá se digan lo que sienten de una vez y nos dejen de hacer sufrir, porque no puedo más.
I really like this series so far, it's cute and light. Teen love in shoujo manga tends to feel heartwarming for me, this one too. I get why ml proposed his idea but as I read the stories there's time where I kinda want him to come clean or at least stop using that p-word. Overall I really enjoy the stories and characters, I get the fl and ml anxiety after learning more about them but once they stop using the p-word it's getting even more enjoyable and cute for me. Oh and of course it's a slow burn well not burn but you get what I mean.
Is it possible for manga to be fluffier than this? Chigira continues to remain gentle and dreamily-kind; though way more affectionate than you’d expect for a boy who’ve (presumably) never had a relationship - if he’s more intense you’d think he’s creepy; if he’s any slicker, you’d think he’s a lady’s man. Those telltale blushes save the day and keep Chigira (and his actions) adorable. On the other hand, Maaya’s lack of self awareness and self-belief is maddening for readers. Just get on with it!
I was looking for a word to describe this series that wasn't already used in its title. The thesaurus says that 'fragrant' was an alternative, but I'm not sure that's the direction I want to head in.
I like Maaya as a main character. She feels real. Chigira is a bit of an enigma, but that's by design. Fortunately, I'm only pretending to enjoy this sweet romance.
Je ne sais pas pourquoi je continue ce manga parce que le second tome est aussi bizarre que le premier. Les dessins sont très beau mais ne me font pas oublier que l'histoire a une trame HYPER classique. Et malheureusement, le fait que le plot soit vraiment étrange me frêne d'autant plus... (Je pense quand même lire le tome 3 par pur esprit de contradiction et pour lui laisser une dernière petite chance...)
There are days when I want a light read, and those days I often end up picking a Shoujo manga. They're soft, fun, cheesy... but also very cliched. And that's okay. This one isn't any different but still, I found myself turning the pages and laughing out loud. I love that there isn't really a love triangle and they're all mostly cute characters.
I’m starting to get a bit annoyed with the lack of communication between Maaya and Chigira-kun, especially with how often poor Maaya overthinks herself into a bit of a negative spiral. I’m going to stay hopeful for them since the moments that they do have together are extremely adorable, as well as, seeing Chigira-kun’s friends interacting with both of them was pretty amusing.
Tenía dudas cuando empecé el manga. Desafortunadamente, a pesar de haber disfrutado de la lectura, siguen estando ahí. La historia es entretenida, pero es muy simple. Normalmente no me importaría, porque no se necesita un gran argumento para hacer una buena historia. Pero lo cierto es que tengo la sensación que está tirando de un hilo que se va a hacer repetitivo.
Los personajes principales tienen química, juntos son adorables. Pero no tienen ningún otro misterio. Lo que me hace dudar si va a quedarse una historia muy plana.
El tomo, en general, me ha parecido fácil de leer y entretenido, aunque tampoco me ha aportado nada más. Y tal vez, por eso, me falta un poco más. Sea como sea, seguiremos leyendo y descubriendo esta historia juntos, porque aún tengo la esperanza que llegue el día en que diga: “esto es lo que me gusta realmente de ‘Y aún así, eres muy dulce’”.
Com que en el primer volum va tot tan ràpid, en aquest hi ha molts problemes de comunicació que es fan feixucs perquè el lector ja té claríssim que els sentiments són mutus. Amb ganes que es comuniquin i que la relació avanci de manera sana!!! Crec que se'm farà llarga la sèrie si seguim amb aquest ritme...
Maaya is a little pathetic for my taste but you know what I bet I was when 16 too. They are cute and I’m glad he is stepping up. The art is okay in my opinion. And I like Tezuka helping push things forward. I’m all for it.
