My Love Story Vol. 4 was a mix between "I like this part" and "I don't like this part", let me explain. In My Love Story there are usually two major storylines and I didn't like the first storyline but I really liked the second one and I also enjoyed the bonus story. 

The first story was about

Spoiler

Sunkawa's adult college aged sister, Ai, and how she has had a crush on Takeo since he was in elementary and she was in middle school. It made me uncomfortable that an college aged adult was trying to entertain or be entertained by a high school student. I also didn't like the guy who had a crush on Ai, her college colleague and fellow student. He was just a source of aggravation for me, he was pushy and didn't take "no" for an answer.

The second story was about

Spoiler

Takeo having to run a Swedish relay race at his high school. He proceeds to help a girl train so she can run faster so their relay team can achieve victory, and Yamato catches them together practice and when Takeo is helping the girl home (after she hurts her ankle) and Yamato gets jealous. This manga was basically about relationship jealousy.

The last story takes place when the characters are in kindergarten, it was absolutely adorable. 

Overall I enjoyed this manga so I'm giving this 4 stars out of 5
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Re-read 2021: This was just tons and tons of fun. Though I wasn't 100% of the whole pushing Suna's sister to say I love you or have that guy say it for her if she didn't do it. I mean, really, I get the idea, you are in love with her and want her to get over her first love, but this is just not the way.
Thankfully things are solved My Love Story way and everything turned happy again.
There are fun dates, some confusion (but I loved Rinko's reaction and also the reaction of her friends, she was really sizing up the competition there), cute charms, and so much more. They are adorable, though I hope they kiss soon!
Bonusstory????? LOVE IT! That was adorable! I guess it was destiny for them to meet!

Haha, Rinko is just like me when I was a kid, I always had short hair as well and many confused me as a boy.

Four stars purely because of the last chapter which gave me all the warm and fuzzy feelings. (iykyk)

Wasn't that big a fan of the "nice guy just trying so hard to be your boyfriend" plot for Sunakawa's older sister. The short story in the back was nice but confusing?
