Still great, but there is a rapid timeline acceleration that's not clearly shown and it threw me off.
I'm still loving this series, the characters and story are as amazing as ever, but this last story arc (The Tale of Four Seasons chapters) are happening at a much faster time scale than everything previous. This volume starts at the beginning of their 2nd year of high school and by the end of the volume they're already in their 3rd year. This isn't necessarily bad, but it never clearly states that so much time has passed. In the next volume it finally says explicitly that they're in their 3rd year and it was very jarring. I thought I had missed something.

It's so interesting to see how Hachiken and his friends are starting to wind up their high school experiences, and beginning to launch out into the real world. Some of them are going to college and preparing for entrance exams. Some of them are doing research to start their own businesses. Hachiken decides to start a massive pizza experiment to research the best types of pizza that will sell for the most money using only farm-fresh ingredients.
It was so sweet to see how Hachiken really starts to take things seriously and he gets the support of this father as an investor in his business. He begins to connect with his family again, and he starts to realize just how important the friendships that he has made in high school are going to be for networking his business in the future.
Another great volume!

(Same review and thoughts as vol.12)
Snippets of the gang's 2nd and 3rd year. Compared to the whopping 10 volumes for Hachiken's freshman year. His 2nd year is rushed and his 3rd year extremely quickened. Followed by snapshots of his life and the rest of his friends after school.
And I feel the story telling went down hill for it. While there are still moments and comedic punchlines that reminded me of how I much I enjoyed this series. It's not the same. Everything feels so crammed and you are getting info dumped about everything to get a move on.
The ending actually was so weak. It didn't go out with a bang or fond melancholic memories. It's suddenly you are there! It's done!

OMG, this is another series that I care for all the characters even though there are some annoying characters. It was fun and inspiring!!!!! Hachiken Yugo, the main character has transformed so much that I grew to care A LOT for him but he can be quite annoying sometimes. His relationship with Mikage, aargh, those idiots, I'm totally standing with her friends! Those two are really stupid with their relationship! Haha! Ookawa senpai is also another idiot, but he proved himself to be worthy as Hachiken's partner in their business. I miss Komaba! The family dynamics play a big part of the students in Yezo High, because since they are in the agricultural field, they have to inherit their family farm and I found it fascinating and new to me. Most of the Asian countries started as an agricultural state or nation so it feels great to learn something that used to be close to us, Asians. I am really inspired by Hachiken and his friends in so many ways that I am glad to re-read this series. However, the bad news is this series is in a hiatus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Send help! 5 stars!!!!

I like all the characters in this series, they are definitely charismatic in their own way. I do hope that kids or anyone would pick up this series. It is definitely educational. This series is completed and I've finished reading the remaining two volumes online. I hope I can purchase them soon. 5 stars!
