While I wasn't entirely sold on the first volume of this classic, I am slowly coming around. In the first one, I sometimes found the art a little difficult to make out in the action scenes, but it has either got better or I am better at understanding it. Taking my time on the pages and not rush through them certainly helps. Faces can still be a bit awkward looking, but backgrounds such as castles and landscapes are often gorgeous.

The story is interesting, though I definitely prefer the scenes that doesn't involve fighting, and develop the characters and their relationships. A lot more politics too this time around, something I expect will be a trend for a long while.

I have a the third deluxe edition volume already, and will definitely get to it soon.

This and the third volume have been sitting on my shelf for awhile. I know a lot of people love this series, but the first volume didn't convince me.

Seems like this could be interesting. Getting some Hitoshi Ashinano vibes here as well Girls' Last Tour.

Yeah, it's a bit too cute for me so I won't keep reading this. A pity as I found the subject matter of life as a deaf person interesting.

I loved this. It's a realistic slice-of-life portrayal of life for a group of college-age young adults, a slowly developing romance peppered with wild flights of fancy. This mix of mundane realism and more or less weird and bizarre tangents into imagination and memory, with art to match really appealed to me. The way conversations change and go off on unrelated tangents feels very real, and is often pretty funny. If coming volumes are anything like this first one, I can easily see this becoming a favourite of mine.

I've seen a couple of favourable mentions of this and thought it looked interesting.

The craziness continues in this second volume, and it is fairly (ha!) fun. Just not my kind of fun. I'm beginning to suspect this type of shonen series just isn't for me. I have the third volume as well, and may get to it eventually.

Pretty fun and cute look at what (I assume is) typical Japanese home cooking.

This looks like a fun and a bit different take on the childhood friends falling in love trope.

This is such a nice series, two people becoming friends over a common interest, inspite of a significant age gap. Unusually, you don't really need to be particularly interested in the hobby (Boys Love manga in this case, obviously) to easily understand the fascination the characters have for it. In this volume we see them deepen their friendship, and get some hints of possible future complications and directions. This is slice of life manga at its best.

This was a fun read, but not all that fresh perhaps. It's a high school love story, or is heading that way at least, with good art and engaging characters, but I'm not entirely convinced it's for me yet. I may pick up one or two more volumes before I decide.

Cute and fun about halfway through
