“‘I used to think that. But one you decide you hate everything, that’s it. You’ll never like anything, and that will be the end of it. You’re taking all of your possibilities away from yourself. You have to learn to like yourself.’”
I like the morality in this series. There’s a really sweet scene between Mei and Yamato’s little sister Nagi in this volume, which really helps Nagi get over the bullying she’d been hiding from at school. Nagi is also just really adorable, and amazing in the kitchen. And I think Mei and Nagi can be good for each other.
There’s also a moment between Mei and Aiko, who’s finally accepting what’s happened to herself, and that she needs to move past Yamato. There’s a cute Valentine’s Day chapter, and then we meet a new girl, a model, named Megumi, who is clearly going to cause some trouble for Mei in the next volume.
This series is so good. I love the image and self messages that are given, as well as just seeing the characters grow and develop. Mei and Yamato are still going, and they’re very cute together. The mature elements of the series are still very nice, although there aren’t too many of them.
I’m a huge fan of this series, and I’m really excited to get the next one.

Yeah, this wasn't as good as the last volume. Plot wise nothing much happened. It's also getting a bit annoying and played out that every new girl that appears in the story is obsessed with Yamato. Like Yamato is cute but he is definitely not the cutest manga male lead. He's a bit plain to me. I really don't want to read volume after volume of a new girl trying to steal Yamato away when we can spend time developing Mei. I'm also not the biggest fan of how Mei's self esteem is closely related by being in a relationship with Yamato. I want Mei to develop some self love for herself because with how many fan girls Yamato has, their relationship is definitely gonna have some problems.
Overall, this was okay. Hoping that the next volume is better.

Band 1 und 2 habe ich geliebt. Der Einstieg in diesen band fand ich etwas holprig. Zum einen gefiel mir der Zeichenstil dieses mal nicht so gut wie ich ihn noch in Erinnerung hatte. Es gab zwar wieder einige schöne Zeichnungen – vor allem die mit mehreren Charakteren zusammen, aber einige Nahaufnahmen fand ich nicht so gelungen.
Die Story dagegen hat mich wieder voll überzeugt. Ich mag dieses Erste-Große-Liebe Drama mit den sehr individuellen Charakteren. Die weibliche Prota wird zwar zunehmend etwas selbstbewusste, leidet aber trotzdem noch stark an Selbstzweifeln. Dies wirkt sich natürlich besonders aus, wenn hier gerade zwei Konkurrentinnen mit ihr um ihren Freund buhlen. Der ist allerdings ein unglaublich toller Charakter. Ich würde sogar soweit gehen, dass er mein Lieblings-Mangacharakter überhaupt ist. Er liebt Mei und versucht ihr dies immer wieder zu zeigen. Er freut sich über kleine Liebesbeweise von ihr und hilft ihr selbstbewusster zu werden. Aber auch miese Charaktere fehlen hier nicht. Ich habe selten einen so unsympathischen Charakter kennengelernt wie Aiko. Ich finde sie einfach schrecklich. Alles in allem war es wieder ein tolles Leseerlebnis und ich freue mich schon auf den nächsten Band. Als netten Bonus gab es noch zwei MatchMe Karten zum Manga. Negativ muss ich aber noch erwähnen, dass die Mangas dieser Reihe sehr dünn für ihren Preis sind.
4,6 von 5 Sternen
