This volume was so much fun!
- more nao x ko
- summer
- festival
- hot springs
It’s been a while since I read anything and this was such a breeze to get into. These characters are so much fun to read about. I still have the same complaint about the storyline format (it’s very piece by piece and a little sporadic instead of flowing in time order).

The romance between the leads is cute and quirky but it is such a slow burn that the Madrigals family house would've crumbled if it depended on it. I thought by the 3rd volume their relationship would've developed a bit more in terms of intimacy and closeness. They're still so timid around each other and pretty sure they have been dating for a couple of months now. I get that is one of the reasons people enjoy the main couple but you can still have the slow burn with progression in the deepness of their relationship. I'm just waiting for a little hurdle or something, some angst really. Right now they're just in a stagnant place for me. This is not me hating on them because they are a cute couple and we did get sweet scenes with them, like the scene of them behind the bush hiding from that insistent guy, but I would just like a bit more.
As for Nao's blooming relationship with Ko, they're also very cute and timid, and to be honest I'm shipping them a little bit more than the main couple right now because I'm excited to see how they start their relationship and seeing Ko feel more comfortable around Nao. That being said though, there was only one or two scenes focusing on them this entire volume which surprised me because I thought we would've gotten more considering they're the couple in the cover. Hopefully in the next volume their relationship blossoms and we can have scenes where they're alone and not accompanied by other characters.
As for the loves of my life, my ride or die, part of the reason I'm continuing to read this manga, my dear Kabakura and Hana, I still love them will all my heart and will defend my stance until my death bed that they are the best couple in this manga as of now. Relatively sad that we didn't get more scenes with them being the focus this time around, but I get that each volume will prioritize focus on a specific side couple. And I cant ask for much lol considering they're the second lead basically. And the scenes that we did get I enjoyed so I'm satisfied. Volume 2 has been the best so far giving me that best moments of them together. They have that engaging banter, sweetness and intimacy that you just come to appreciate when they're alone and that I would like to see from the other couples as well. I know people always say they argue too much but most of their arguments are just dumb stuff, and also, their banter is their love language but when they're alone you can see that they have a deeper connection than the leads do at this point. Also, they have been dating for years now and still making it work? I'm just waiting for the wedding right now lol. The only ones I have faith right now in maybe in the near future becoming my faves would be Naoya and Ko.
When it comes to the overall volume though, it was entertaining to read with fun, sweet and cute moments. I like that we saw more people from their work place and their suspicion as to what their relationship status was because it created more interaction with other characters in their lives. I loved the progression in Narumis and Hanas friendship and it is so appreciated since both have little if no female friends, so I was glad they gave us a lot of moments between them. This has technically been the first romance manga that I've seriously read because before I only used to read shounen manga like AOT online but I think that as a beginner romance manga to read its pretty good. I feel like I enjoyed the 1st and 2nd volume more compared to this one which is why I'm giving it 3 stars but it doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it or dislike it. I'm excited to read the next volume. In conclusion, I stan Kabakura and Hanako, adios.

I love these mangas so much, but this one just felt like a bit of a filler more than actual substance.
We did get a few super cute Hirotaka and Narumi scenes. And even one super cute scene at the end with Hanako and Taro that made me literally swoon. But for the most part, this fell a bit short for me. But I still adore this manga, it is currently one of my faves and I will be picking the next one up asap to continue this story.
I am still shook that I even like slice of life mangas, who am I? lol
Happy reading besties ❤️
