A review by hobbitfreddie
Kase-San and an Apron by Hiromi Takashima

3.0

Better than the last volume but not as good as the first two. It's still keeps the formula of a good Kase-san volume though.

Art: The art is great as always, very expressive and cute.

Character: I like how both Kase and Yamada have their own little arcs, and have a bit more to their personality than the romance aspect.

Story: School festival! Always a treat to read in manga. The school festival feels more of a backdrop and to reintroduce Inoue-senpai. I wasn't to fond of that side plot at first but they do resolve it well at the end.
There's some good little themes, nothing too stellar, but still very nice, adds some substance. Yamada doubts herself and compares herself to others, but here is finally proud of herself.
I like how Kase and Yamada's hobbies are tied into the story. There are too many romances where the special interest can be removed or the characters only consist of romance traits.

Nothing too special this volume, but still special enough to be a good Kase-san volume. It's sweet, cute, with a healthy bit of drama.
