Kimi Ni Todoke: From Me to You, Vol. 26 by Karuho Shiina

misssusan's review

4.0

this book is scarily overdue but i don't regret the amount of money i'm going to have to hand over to the library, it was absolutely worth it to hang on to this volume until i got around to reading it

i honestly don't know why i waited so long, like did i forget how much i love everyone in this story? did i forget how much joy the love they all have for each other brings me? was i afraid i would give myself a sore throat from all the happy little screams i had to let out every time sawako builds her relationships with kazehaya and her friends?

(sawako and kurumi did a number on my throat this volume but i don't care!!! i love them!!!!!!!!!!!!! also

Spoiler

was anyone else getting the vibe that kurumi's crushing on sawako? like in any other manga i'd take chapter 106 as a straight up confession but these kids are so intense about their friendships generally that i honestly can't tell what shiina wants me to read them as!

)

i'm going to cry so hard when this story is over, i can already feel it ;_;

I enjoyed the storylines about Sawako and Kazehaya and Sawako and Kurumi. I had suspected Ayane falling for Pin from the earliest volumes in the series, but it seems to be happening weirdly fast.

janeneal's review against another edition

I LOVE that Sawako and Kurumi were able to truly discuss their relationship and reconcile. That's so dang rare in romances. It's so cool that Sawako's friendships with the girls in her life are given as much attention has her romantic relationship.

With that amazingness, super disappointed with what is an obvious romantic relationship developing between Ayane and Pin. No teacher/student romances please, it's icky.
