Hitorijime My Hero, Vol. 4 by Memeco Arii

3.0

---

Continuing to really like this series. This installment follows volume's 3 approach to the story and focuses on Masahiro and just why he thinks and behaves the way he does, which I like. With that said though it didn't go nearly as in-depth as I was expecting it too with his mother. I really liked how at the start we saw Masahiro question if he can really be this happy and if it's actually real. A lot of teens go through this because they grew up not being given love and support, but to me it just felt very watered down with how they involed Masahiro and Kosuke's relationship into it. Don't get me wrong it makes sense since it's Masahiro's upbrining that brought them together, but it just felt very, meh with how it was incorporated.

I'm interested in how Kouske's savior complex is going to play out beause it's been built up throughout the entire series thus far, and what Natsuo's backstory is.

I'm also continuing to love Masahiro's and Asaya's frenemie relationship. One of my favorite things to see.
