This series is SO easy to just pick up and read one book in an hour, it’s not a hard plot to follow either it’s literally just slice of life and personally it’s not my favorite because I’m a huge fantasy buff but it’s for sure a good “hey I’m bored of this book let me pick this up and read it really quick” kind of book!

Re-read 2021: This was just tons and tons of fun. Though I wasn't 100% of the whole pushing Suna's sister to say I love you or have that guy say it for her if she didn't do it. I mean, really, I get the idea, you are in love with her and want her to get over her first love, but this is just not the way.
Thankfully things are solved My Love Story way and everything turned happy again.
There are fun dates, some confusion (but I loved Rinko's reaction and also the reaction of her friends, she was really sizing up the competition there), cute charms, and so much more. They are adorable, though I hope they kiss soon!
Bonusstory????? LOVE IT! That was adorable! I guess it was destiny for them to meet!
Spoiler Haha, Rinko is just like me when I was a kid, I always had short hair as well and many confused me as a boy.

~4/5

While this volume didn’t grab me as much as the previous ones have, it’s still adorable. No matter what this series does, the characters are what’s driving it. The way Takeo and Yamato react to things and think is what drives every reaction.

The first half of the volume, we get to see a lot of Ai, Sunakawa’s older sister, and a friend of hers who’s in love with her. We see more of what Ai is going through, being in love with Takeo and not wanting to tell him, all while another guy is pushing her, wanting to be with her in the same way.

I like Ai, and I like her decision in the end, though I feel for the guy, as well.

The second half, we meet a classmate of Takeo’s. They have to work together, and then she gets to know him, and he helps her out at every opportunity. Clearly some hero worship, to a big crush, is developing. And this time, Yamato starts catching on and worrying.

Yamato is jealous, she has that tendency, and it’s interesting to see her feelings put to the test. All while Takeo is completely oblivious, until she talks to him. But the only thing Takeo is ever thinking of, especially when it comes to Yamato, is Yamato. He has no line of vision for anyone else. It’s sweet.

That storyline isn’t fully over, I don’t think, and while there might be drama and worry, I don’t doubt that these two will work it out.

The volume ends with a cute side story from when Takeo and Suna are kids, and Takeo helps them out of trouble. Very cute, sweet story.

Overall, a very nice volume. I’m loving this series, and am looking forward to the next one.
