Mika Yamamori is someone you come back to again and again and again, seeking for comfort and sacharine sweet days of young love. I swear, reading this puts a smile on my lips. I love how Yoi and Ichi are slowly maturing for love. Also, the events in Kobe are making me squeal! Such progress, I'm so happy right now.

not him bribing her with sweets lol. And her trying to match her earings with his is so cute T^T
I really like how expressive they’re and how they talk things out. The story just keeps getting more interesting and sweet.

This was such a CUTE volume! One of the best in the series since the first volume of In the Clear Moonlit Dusk. This had me kicking my little feet and squealing. It was so wholesome and adorable. I love following Yoi and seeing her develop more confidence in her body and her identity. This romance is so pure and I'm gonna need Mika Yamamori to let this dumb love triangle subplot go. We don't want it or need it. Thanks, let's leave those corny ass love triangles in the 2010s shojo manga and not in the 2020s shojo manga.

"It's as if he's tickling my heart"
They're so in love! They don't know it though, because they're both dorks. ♥
I didn't expect to love it this much, so sweet and heartwarming.

Lui mi piace sempre di più, questa autrice è sempre bravissima a creare personaggi maschili intriganti. Sono curiosa di sapere molto di più sulla sua famiglia.
Lei mi lascia basita a ogni volume. Per quanto sarebbe carino sperare che esista una persona così pura, spesso si sconvolge per cose che avrebbe potuto apprendere guardando un semplice film d'amore. Invece pare non sapere niente di niente, cosa davvero fuori dal comune rispetto alle conoscenze dei ragazzini di adesso, e come aspetto è sicuramente interessante da contrapporre a un opposto. Tuttavia, non riesco a credere nella sua caratterizzazione. Avrebbe potuto essere lo stesso molto timida (ricordiamo che timida non vuol dire essere ingenua o, peggio ancora, scema), ma sapere che i baci in una coppia, soprattutto nuova, sono frequenti e cose così. Non voler essere baciati/toccati è una cosa ed è giusto dirlo subito, però non è questo il caso. Lei si sconvolge perché cade dalle nuvole, come se non fosse nata in una grande città come Tokyo ma in un paesino sperduto senza elettricità né contatti con il mondo moderno. Per me è eccessivo.
I disegni mi piacciono davvero tanto.

THEY ARE SO CUTE
August 11, 2023
Summer break can only mean one thing! Or not, as Ichimura’s big idea is to hit up Kobe with Yoi for a little alone time. So all their friends come along instead. But proximity might be enough to get Yoi out of her shell, and it goes without saying that Stranger Things have happened…
Credit where it is due, this is easily and without effort the best volume of this manga that I have yet read. I dunno what changed or if I just gave up and accepted what we have here (which I doubt because the next volume preview set my teeth on edge), but it’s very enjoyable.
It might partly be because we do see that Yoi is, despite being thought of as an amazing cool person, incredibly low on self-esteem. I don’t recall it being stated so explicitly prior to this point, but it really helps explain just why she wants to be seen as more of a girl and her family situation gets into that too. It makes her waffling make a lot more sense.
And Ichimura’s not just a prettyboy, though lord knows he’s that, and I like how casual he is about his money. It’s not that he’s snooty, he just doesn’t blink twice at the life he leads. It makes for some very funny clash of culture moments. But it’s also hiding a complicated family situation and somebody who doesn’t seem to know how to take a serious relationship seriously, but wants to. Fleshing him out in particular is a good thing.
The plot of this one is straight from the manga playbook - go to a place and indulge in the local culture while drawing some photorealistic backgrounds and insert your characters as you go. I can take or leave these, but I generally find them fun and this one has a good time throwing together a bunch of kids on vacation.
What sets this apart is the continuing development between our leads and how elegantly the story captures the fun of just hanging out. Seeing everybody just lounging around watching Stranger Things and goofing off is super enjoyable and cuts the romantic tension nicely.
Not to say the tension isn’t good, as this also captures the problem of hanging out with all your friends when two of you are dating and want to maybe get a little alone time to talk about stuff or just flirt or… yeah.
It really adds an extra layer and I do like Yoi’s discussion of what she wants and Ichimura’s revelation of a more vulnerable side. It’s like they’re connecting as people and finally revealing themselves to one another in subtle ways. Yoi’s self-conscious earring selection is a fantastic little touch.
So they manage to get a little date and if you think that means an aquarium, then you know your manga. This one is smartly presented as a series of frames and I love the way the mangaka uses that to at least give it a little pop compared to the norm.
Yeah, it’s solid. I’m not rushing to read the first three again, but I do think the chemistry between our leads is amped up by them wanting to be together and having friends constantly, if unintentionally, get in the way. And by them actually showing themselves to one another.
We’ll see if it lasts - I thought we were going to get around the rival storyline, as Yoi makes it quite clear to our wannabe that she’s dating Ichimura, but the next volume preview suggests a futility of effort or something. Which is a bummer, I really liked him more than Ichimura, but read the room, dude.
4 stars - it’s a mighty strong volume and, as I said, easily the best that we’ve seen from the series to date. No major complaints here; it’s just a good time watching teenagers have a good time.

This volume, much like all its predecessors, focuses on the advancement of the protagonist’s relationship and the exploration of their personalities. So, if you came here looking for a plot, you will be sorely disappointed because it is barely there.
However, there are quite a few quiet moments of sweet romance and self-reflection between the two protagonists to tide you over, although it doesn’t quite make up for the lack of plot.
The summer trip felt akin to a school trip storyline as the protagonists brought their friends along which led to some funny bonding scenes. The chance to see the characters outside of the school environment and in regular clothes was refreshing and different. The art, as always, was a beautiful feast for the eyes.

“Se posso stare con te mi va bene qualunque posto, yoi-chan” ❤️
Ho divorato questo volume, l’ho amato!
Kohaku e Yoi sono finalmente una coppia e anche se si sono dichiarati i loro sentimenti ancora nessuno dei due riesce a comprenderli a fondo.
Yoi è la classica ragazza giapponese timida e riservata, e anche se innamoratissima non riesce a lasciarsi andare ancora del tutto. Posso capire il perché molti non riescano a sopportarla, ma io la trovo dolcissima e soprattutto in questo volume si vede quanto sia maturata ancora di più.
Kohaku, anche se non alla prima relazione, ci mostra dei suoi lati teneri e più goffi…
“Io non conosco altri modi. Finora è sempre stato naturale per me star appiccicato alle ragazze con cui uscivo o farci sesso…pensavo che avere una storia d’amore fosse questo. Però nel tuo caso Yoi-chan voglio conoscerti meglio e averti tutta per me, ma allo stesso tempo voglio custodirti, proteggerti…”
Kohaku è sempre più preso, e anche se cerca molto il contatto fisico, che invece Yoi rifiuta, è molto rispettoso nei suoi confronti e piano piano si sta aprendo sempre di più infatti finalmente in questo volume si scopre qualcosa sul suo passato!
Per chi dice che è una storia banale e frivola, soffermatevi sui dettagli e sull’introspezione dei personaggi. Questo manga merita, e non solo per i disegni (che sono meravigliosi) ❤️

¡¡Yo con cada tomo de esta historia me enamoro más de los dos príncipes!!
Han llegado las vacaciones de verano y con ellas la oportunidad de que Yoi e Ichimura puedan pasar un poquito más de tiempo juntos, pero Yoi tiene una agenda un poco apretada lo que le dificulta un poquito a Ichimura la oportunidad de pasar más tiempo a solas con ella. Aunque se dará la oportunidad de un viaje grupal con sus amigos donde pasan cosas demasiado cuquis.
Amé mucho como en este tomo ellos comienzan a ser más abiertos sobre sus sentimientos y el porque de sus recelos en el amor. Me encanta como Ichimura le da su espacio a Yoi y deja que ella lleve el ritmo de la relación aunque a él le encantaría que fuera un poco más fisica.
Ya quiero seguir leyéndolos para morir de ternura con ellos, aunque espero que no nos toque sufrir en el proceso.

This volume covers the summer vacation trip to Kobe as a gang! All 6 of them stayed over at Kohaku's villa. However, we still manage to get some tender moments between Yoi & Kohaku.
Kohaku's love language seems to be Physical Touch & given how this is Yoi's first relationship, I feel that the author realistically depicted how Yoi and Kohaku's relationship would develop.
