Summary
THIRD TIME’S THE CHARM
Saeki Sayaka is no stranger to unrequited love。 What she’s not used to is having someone confess their feelings for her—until Edamoto Haru， an underclassman， does exactly that in Sayaka’s second year of college。 Haru is forward and unhesitating in her affections， the opposite of cautious， reserved Sayaka—but if she can find the courage to reach back， this time， she might find what she’s been waiting for all along。
The final volume！

SPOILERS: I liked this book but the romance with Haru fell a little flat for me。 Sayaka is clearly hung up on Touko throughout the majority of this book。 She basically says that one of the reasons she sees Yuu is to discuss Touko and her life。 She even states at one point while she is involved with Haru that maybe if she would have made different decisions she could have been with Touko。 I would have been fine with her mentioning Touko every now and then， but I got the impression that she has a SPOILERS: I liked this book but the romance with Haru fell a little flat for me。 Sayaka is clearly hung up on Touko throughout the majority of this book。 She basically says that one of the reasons she sees Yuu is to discuss Touko and her life。 She even states at one point while she is involved with Haru that maybe if she would have made different decisions she could have been with Touko。 I would have been fine with her mentioning Touko every now and then， but I got the impression that she has a lot of regret for the way things went down in Bloom Into You and was constantly wishing that she would have done things differently。This just takes away from the relationship she is starting with Haru。 It left me with the impression that if Touko were to break up with Yuu and show interest in Sayaka that Sayaka would dump Haru in a heartbeat for a chance with Touko。 It seemed like Sayaka was happy with Haru， but that she still regrets that she could not have been with Touko in the end。 Not exactly what I was hoping for considering this novel is supposed to be about how Sayaka finally finds love with someone that loves her back。Overall， this LN was a good read but I think it could have been executed differently。 I never got the feeling that Sayaka was completely over Touko and head over heels in love with Haru。 The moments between Sayaka and Haru are cute but I just wish they would have amounted to more。 Still a decent conclusion to the Sayaka light novels。 。。。more

Much like the source material， these light novels brought up the question of if you love something or someone as they are now， would you still continue to do so when they begin to change？ We certainly saw some big changes in Sayaka since the first time we met her， so I can confidently say that the answer to that question is "yes"。 Reading this put the biggest smile on my face。 I feel like I really went through an entire journey with this beautiful， complicated character。 Much like the source material， these light novels brought up the question of if you love something or someone as they are now， would you still continue to do so when they begin to change？ We certainly saw some big changes in Sayaka since the first time we met her， so I can confidently say that the answer to that question is "yes"。 Reading this put the biggest smile on my face。 I feel like I really went through an entire journey with this beautiful， complicated character。 。。。more

Mejor final no le pudieron dar a la hidtoria de Sayaka。 Personalmente， en el manga una parte de mi quería que se quedara con Touko。Me gustó cómo la autora trajo recuerdos del primer volumen。Es una volumen muy bueno。 Solo hay un tema triste a mi parecer y es cuando se da cuenta que al tener el valor de verse con Touko que eso las iba a alejar mas que volver a ser las mejores amigas :'（Tienen que leerlo si son fans de Bloom Into You。 Sino lo son vayan a leer los mangas de Bloom Into You， haganse f Mejor final no le pudieron dar a la hidtoria de Sayaka。 Personalmente， en el manga una parte de mi quería que se quedara con Touko。Me gustó cómo la autora trajo recuerdos del primer volumen。Es una volumen muy bueno。 Solo hay un tema triste a mi parecer y es cuando se da cuenta que al tener el valor de verse con Touko que eso las iba a alejar mas que volver a ser las mejores amigas :'（Tienen que leerlo si son fans de Bloom Into You。 Sino lo son vayan a leer los mangas de Bloom Into You， haganse fans y lean estos 3 volumenes del spin-off de Saeki Sayaka。 。。。more

'Regarding Saeki Sayaka， vol 3' is the last light novel spun off from the Bloom Into You manga， and it's great to see Sayaka getting to meet someone who can draw her out of her introspection and be a good partner for her - one of the things I've really enjoyed over the course of the light novels is that we get to know so many of the key relationships in her life， of different sorts， that it really makes this one with Haru feel not just like something she fell into （or was pulled; Haru's energy r 'Regarding Saeki Sayaka， vol 3' is the last light novel spun off from the Bloom Into You manga， and it's great to see Sayaka getting to meet someone who can draw her out of her introspection and be a good partner for her - one of the things I've really enjoyed over the course of the light novels is that we get to know so many of the key relationships in her life， of different sorts， that it really makes this one with Haru feel not just like something she fell into （or was pulled; Haru's energy really does a lot of the lifting here） but a good fit for who she's grown into as a person， and something that will continue to grow with her as they're together。 It's also adorable seeing Sayaka overthinking other parts of her adulthood， such as her first time being drunk， and how she wants to relate to people she's not as close with anymore。 This is very much a book that benefits from having read the manga first， but also it's just a very warm feeling to have such a good wrap-up to the series。 They might not be together forever， but they're happy now， and that's what I really want for everyone。 。。。more
