3.0

3 Stars for Kimi no todoke, vol. 3

Plot and thoughts


Sawako is now solid friends with "Chizu" and "Ayane" (they force her to try using their first names since they are now confirmed friends). They both notice that Kazehaya and Sawako may have feelings for each other, but decide to leave things alone.

The whole school is also getting ready for the sports festival in this volume and we are introduced to Ume Kurumi (everyone calls her by her last name because she HATES her first name). Kurumi is super cute, super popular and is seriously manipulative. Sawako, being supremely naïve, thinks she is actually trying to befriend her, but most readers should have noticed her questionable behaviour.
We also get to have a bit of a closer look and Ryu and Chizu's close friendship along with Ayane's clever shrewdness. And then there's Pin, the teacher who seriously is so full of himself it's painful to look at...heh. I can see why he's in there though. This series needs someone like him.

Oh and I noticed how this author takes the time to add Sawako's parents in so we actually know she has parents. I find a lot of manga tend to forget that most teenagers go home to their families at the end of the day. her parents are super cute and have a bit of a role reversal going on, don't they?

Library Status
I don't have this one in my library. I'm just borrowing it from the public with no plans to buy it.
In Conclusion
Another good read that progresses Sawako's experiences in the art of friends and potential love
interests.
