Summary
When her dad gets a job overseas， Konatsu Amano has to leave the Tokyo life she’s always known and relocate to a small seaside town to stay with her aunt。 The move also means starting a new school surrounded by complete strangers， and it’s a lot to handle for a girl who has trouble with change。 But on her first day in her new town， Konatsu is instantly drawn to Koyuki， an older girl who is the sole member of the Aquarium Club。 Konatsu’s introverted tendencies are hard for her to overcome， but maybe she’s found something worth coming out of her shell for？
The day of the Aquarium Club’s open house has finally arrived， and the shark show is a great success。 Koyuki is so thrilled by the victory that she actually jumps for joy。 But baring her feelings in front of everyone is too much for her to handle， and she ends up running away。 Thankfully Koyuki’s family and Konatsu accept her just the way she is。 And as Koyuki and Konatsu spend more time together， each of the girls finds a place in her heart for the other。

This is probably a 3。5 for me， mostly because I have not read this series since October of 2020 so it has been a while。 And I do not remember what happened in the previous volumes。 And because Konatsu was not this volume as much， though she was mentioned。 Koyuki struggles with the idea of leaving for college in Tokyo。 She overhears some of her classmates having issues with getting into the college they want， or being able to afford to college at all。 Lucky for her， her grades are fine as long as This is probably a 3。5 for me， mostly because I have not read this series since October of 2020 so it has been a while。 And I do not remember what happened in the previous volumes。 And because Konatsu was not this volume as much， though she was mentioned。 Koyuki struggles with the idea of leaving for college in Tokyo。 She overhears some of her classmates having issues with getting into the college they want， or being able to afford to college at all。 Lucky for her， her grades are fine as long as she maintains them and her family supports her decision。 This causes her to feel like they want her to leave or that they wont miss her。She begins to develops a friendship with Kaede （who I do not remember from the previous volumes。 The way they are drawn they look so similar to me。） I enjoyed this volume just not as much as the others though I did like getting to know Koyuki and seeing her family。 I didnt understand she felt she couldn't talk to Konatsu。 。。。more

I liked how Koyuki pondered about loneliness and being alone and being missed。 And I liked how she's becoming friends with Kaede and it was nice how Kaede also got some food for thought。 However， the relationship between Koyuki and Konatsu hasn't moved at all for a while now and the time just keeps running！ C'mon！ I liked how Koyuki pondered about loneliness and being alone and being missed。 And I liked how she's becoming friends with Kaede and it was nice how Kaede also got some food for thought。 However， the relationship between Koyuki and Konatsu hasn't moved at all for a while now and the time just keeps running！ C'mon！ 。。。more

More of a 3。5 star rating;I really like that we got to see a bit more of Kaede’s life and her perspective on a few things。 She easily became my favorite after this volume。I’m a bit worried that Konatsu and Koyuki’s friendship is looking more like a codependent relationship， rather than a friendship with mutual pinning。 I hope I’m wrong and just misinterpreting some things。

I'll give this series another volume before I decide if I want to keep reading。 The beginning of the series started strong and I adored the characters， but this volume was so slow。 The slow-burn of not talking about feelings （like loneliness） is not really connecting with me。 Koyuki is gaining some character development， but something is not quite connecting—I know she's put herself into a position of wanting to appear a certain way， but all the characters inability to communicate to supposed fr I'll give this series another volume before I decide if I want to keep reading。 The beginning of the series started strong and I adored the characters， but this volume was so slow。 The slow-burn of not talking about feelings （like loneliness） is not really connecting with me。 Koyuki is gaining some character development， but something is not quite connecting—I know she's put herself into a position of wanting to appear a certain way， but all the characters inability to communicate to supposed friends is just not translating。 I think that explains why I am not being drawn into the story and feel more frustrations: American friendships are vastly different from Japanese and my own experience is resisting this type of communicating （*ehem* lack thereof）。 。。。more

3。75We don't get much of our two leading ladies， but I do love seeing the friendship blossoming on the other end。 This volume really looks at the different ways that Koyuki experiences loneliness， and same with Kaede。 I really like how slow and steady these volumes are， in exploring the girls' feelings and how they progress into the world。 3。75We don't get much of our two leading ladies， but I do love seeing the friendship blossoming on the other end。 This volume really looks at the different ways that Koyuki experiences loneliness， and same with Kaede。 I really like how slow and steady these volumes are， in exploring the girls' feelings and how they progress into the world。 。。。more

So we're in volume 5 now and things are moving suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper slow; then again， some of the main characters' growth is all about learning how to communicate， so to some extent the slowness is thematically correct。 Still love the environment and supporting characters （it was really nice to see an increased focus on Kaede in this volume） and think the central love story is charming， albeit slow。 I enjoyed this volume's central focus on getting Koyuki to actually talk to the people in he So we're in volume 5 now and things are moving suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper slow; then again， some of the main characters' growth is all about learning how to communicate， so to some extent the slowness is thematically correct。 Still love the environment and supporting characters （it was really nice to see an increased focus on Kaede in this volume） and think the central love story is charming， albeit slow。 I enjoyed this volume's central focus on getting Koyuki to actually talk to the people in her life that she loves and worries about and wants to please and we saw some small progress in that direction。 The series as a whole does， however， capture the uncertainty and isolation of the high school years really well。 Charming but slightly frustrating read。 **Thanks to the artist， publisher， and NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest reveiw。 。。。more

Koyuki had a bit of an emotional outburst （for her） at the end of the last book and that lead to her withdrawing a bit。 However， a chance meeting gives her a new outlet for her frustrations in life， although it may not come without some unforeseen consequences。。。Sometimes a book isn’t giving you what you want and that’s not okay。 You’re waiting and waiting for romance to finally erupt between two leads and you have an author who is coy about every last detail on where the story is going。And then Koyuki had a bit of an emotional outburst （for her） at the end of the last book and that lead to her withdrawing a bit。 However， a chance meeting gives her a new outlet for her frustrations in life， although it may not come without some unforeseen consequences。。。Sometimes a book isn’t giving you what you want and that’s not okay。 You’re waiting and waiting for romance to finally erupt between two leads and you have an author who is coy about every last detail on where the story is going。And then， sometimes， you’re given something else instead， which turns out to be as good as or better than what you wanted。 That’s where we are with this volume。 I have found Kaede to be a bit hyper compared to the rest of the cast and more of a nuisance than anything else， often functioning as an impediment to the story。Well， so much for that sentiment。 This volume brings her to such life while toning her down a little by adding layers to her， yet at the same time keeping the core of what makes her Kaede。I am a sucker for stories that are about communication and the way we relate to one another， and this volume embraces that so wonderfully well。 By having no real history together， Kaede and Koyuki are able to communicate in a way that they cannot with others， especially the very guarded Koyuki。The amount of bottled up feelings erupting from Koyuki about her family， her future， and， yes， Konatsu show that she’s been pushing back on expressing herself to an unhealthy degree。Consequently， seeing these two hang out is one of the most pleasantly enjoyable moments since the series started。 It was amazing to see Koyuki just enjoy herself unabashedly for a change。 There’s a full on Moment where they’re collapsed on the floor sharing a look and it’s just the perfect summation。Of course， the book makes it clear that there is a double-edged sword to expressing one’s self。 Without realizing it， Konatsu expresses how she’s really come into her own， but in a way that couldn’t be phrased worse for poor Koyuki。And then there’s the ending。 I mean， the implication through all this is that Konatsu is so important to Koyuki that the latter is afraid to open up fully to somebody who means so much to her。 Of course， that’s all fine if you know this， which Konatsu doesn’t， and it sure looks like some bruised feelings are on the horizon。4 stars。 A beautful piece of work。 No movement on the main pairing， if it even exists， but this time out I didn’t even notice it。 This book may not always be doing right by its characters， but， oddly， it is doing amazingly well with its characterization。 。。。more

Konatsu's barely in this volume， but that works better than you might expect as the focus remains firmly on Koyuki and she gets to know Kaede a little better。 Konatsu's barely in this volume， but that works better than you might expect as the focus remains firmly on Koyuki and she gets to know Kaede a little better。 。。。more
