Did I just learn that Yuta Nakamoto of NCT 127 is playing Hayate in the live drama of Play It Cool, Guys? Yes. Did that prompt me to finally read the next volume in this adorably wholesome series? Also yes. Is this become one of my favorite manga series to ever grace this planet? Wholeheartedly yes.

I didn't realize how much a basic plot of clumsy guys pretending to be cool and making friends along the way would capture my entire heart and soul. It's truly the most delightful thing to end a day and read a volume about a bunch a bois being bois. Going to school, being an adult, and exploring yourself are all just a part of that journey.

Now, in this particular volume....we get a new clumsy boy. The one who does it confidently: Motoharu Igarashi! Famous young author, and space cadet by trade, Igarashi officially joins the part of clumsy boys! And he's kind of a dream boat too! (My roommate says that I have a thing for guys with long hair....it's not a lie)

This volume didn't make me laugh as hard as others, but it's still just a delight.

Motoharu's introduction allows a more focused plot. Clumsiness is sprinkled throughout. A relaxing slice-of-life with hints of humour. Character interactions are sporadically driven by chance and relation.

OH !! New character alert !! Who is just as clumsy and forgetful as the rest !! Sir, you’ll be fitting right in with this group !! But how this series continues to get more wholesome with every volume is just delightful !!! I really appreciate how much their lives have become entwined together!!
