I don't really get why Yuu's sister is crushing on Haruka but I kinda ship it?? x'D
I mean, Haruka & Yuu are cute and all, and of course nothing will happen between Haruka & Mitsuki, but still... idk, lol.

Well, either way, there isn't much happening, just mostly comedy and typical lovey-dovey stuff between the couples. I'm a little bored sometimes, but I do enjoy the read and the jokes are funny.
Especially the wedding chapter!!! XDDDD
Haruka's Dad: "Haruka being handed off to some random guy off the street?! I'll never allow that to happen!!"
Haruka, in her thoughts: "so it's fine if it's a girl?"
I mean, she's not wrong... XDD

Same as last volume. Not much happening, but the comedy is good. They're also completely official with their relationship now; same as Shizuku and Kotone, kind of.

I'll keep reading.

I know this is all comedy and exaggerated, but Yamada's services are a litte too much abused... :')

Also, it's sad that the author didn't show Mitsuki's farewell party. I was looking forward to that.
I would've also liked to see the confession, that was mentioned in chapter 34...

I do ship Rina and Mitsuki, although I feel a bit bad for Rina. But them having a friendship anniversary and Mitsuki giving her a present every year really is friend goals.

I wish Kotone were more open to Shizuku, when she's doing that much for their future. I know that everyone has different love languages, but it does seem pretty unbalanced sometimes...

~~~

Well, it seems the other volumes aren't on goodreads, so I'll just leave my thoughts here:

Volume 6:
- Started & finished: 7th March
- Rating: 4 stars

Damn, Yamada is such a matchmaker/best "man". XD
Really hope she's getting paid enough...

Yuzu's obliviousness towards gays (or lgbtq+ people in general?) is getting very annoying tho. Hope this is getting resolved by the end. It was funny at first and I get the author just keeps a running gag around, but too long is too long, indeed.

Wow, also, I think this was the first volume a male student showed up; answering my question about whether or not it was an all-girls school. Really tho, why did it take 6 volumes for a male student (not counting the ones from the festival, since they were from another school) to make an appearance in the manga, lmao?

Volume 7:
- Started & finished: 8th March
- Rating: 3.5 stars

Wait, so they're not going out and are just "kissfriends"?? Tf... _-_
But didn't they tell their friends in volume 3 or sth? At least Kaede knew...

And Kotone and Yuu moved in together, even though Haruka turned Sumisumi down, when Sumi asked if they could live together as sisters. Are you kidding me?

Somehow, since it came out that they're just "kissfriends", I can't really enjoy this anymore. Everything they do is just annoying. I found Yuu annoying before but brushed it off because this isn't a serious manga to begin with. But now... it just all feels like a joke, oof.
Haruka does so much for Yuu, it's unfair. Unbalanced relationships are a no-go for me.

Haruka and Shizuku should perhaps become a thing, since they care so much about their partner. At least it would be balanced then. -.-
Or I could go back to shipping Haruka and Mitsuki...

But hey, at least Rina and Mitsuki are getting closer.

I do like the new characters, Rei and Runa.

But, whaaat?? Kotone's fiancé is a girl???????

Volume 8:
- Started & finished: 8th March
- Rating: 4.5 stars

Well, damn, Sora really plotted this entire thing... but also, damn, kudos to her for keeping her "act" of being a boy up for so long.
I did find her creepy and suspicious before, but seeing everything from her perspective, makes her a pretty likable person. I don't ship her with Kotone or anything, but her and Naruka could've perhaps made a good pair.

It's nice that the dad got supportive after the reveal. <3

Also, Yuzu's movie was pretty good! She should totally go into the movie industry.
Oooh and Yuzu & Kaede got their happy ending, too. ^^

Oh my, tho, I didn't expect for Yuu to be the mature one. Although Haruka's obsession over Yuu was pretty childish and extreme the whole time, she was mostly mature when it came to skinship. (Or she was just too horny to care, lmao.)
But considering I found Yuu rather annoying the whole time, this was some nice character development.

Well, overall I found this volume to be the best, so it's kinda sad that the anime doesn't cover it. Either way, glad I read it (although I got annoyed a lot, when it's supposed to be one of those series that aren't meant to be that serious and most of it is comedy anyway... volume 8 was rather serious tho, so maybe that's one of the reasons I like it so much). I wouldn't count it as my favorite series and probably not even in the top 10, but it wasn't bad either.

Volume 8 was the best and that'll probably be the one I'll recommend. XD

I hope this turns into a series someday, because it really has potential! Both of the stories.

Liked it less than the first volume, but still amazing.

I love how in that one chapter with the two women working in the café, the costumers saw the chemistry and were like "why don't you get together already?" XD

I also love how the stories they daydream, help them in their life too. For example, when they saw two girls and made up a story that they wanted to move in together, but needed to talk to their parents first. This helped Kokoro talking to her father too, because the girl in her story did that and therefore got a happy ending.

I don't really like the new member of the art club much, but I do get her way of thinking (unlike Kokoro).

I also don't like the guy Kokoro has to marry and the best friend of the art club teacher, but it is nice that he's planning to quit smoking, just because Kokoro doesn't like smoke. <3

The more often Shun says how it hurts, the more I want them to stop doing it.
Like, please, why tf do people keep doing it when it hurts so much??

4.5

I love how casual the author keeps most of the things. Love confession? Pff, easy. First kiss? No big deal. First time sleeping together? Nothing.
I mean, the characters do get nervous still and blush a lot, and it's also not completely meaningless, but definitely toned down a lot, compared to pretty much every other romance story. It just shows how comfortable the characters are together and that's what you want to have in a romantic/sexual relationship, no?
I also love how supportive everyone is. Not just with their relationship, but also with the dreams that each character has. It's extremely common in such stories for characters to always be jealous and envious, but not here. It's so healthy and refreshing.

Also, it's incredible, how every page, every panel is in color! Mangas are already difficult enough and take so much time in b&w already, but even more so colored... gets me every time. 5 stars for the art.

I'm not much a fan of the secret they're both keeping, as I always prefer honest relationships, which is why it gets half a star less. However, the secret isn't harming them, so I'm fine with it for now. Hopefully they do get to talk about it soon though.

So dumb.
