I am really enjoying this series so far。 The character interactions are fun and fitting for the age and setting。 The humor continues to be on point。

Kyotaro remains as socially awkward as Yamada remains carefree and hungry for snacks。 The two seem to spend an awful lot of time together, but putting one and one together to make two is definitely a lot easier for one of the pair than the other。A nice continuation of the first volume。 This is a fairly cute story of two polar opposites who are experiencing the throes of mutual attraction, wherein one person is very direct and the other is an awkward teenage boy。 There’s definitely a huge swing a Kyotaro remains as socially awkward as Yamada remains carefree and hungry for snacks。 The two seem to spend an awful lot of time together, but putting one and one together to make two is definitely a lot easier for one of the pair than the other。A nice continuation of the first volume。 This is a fairly cute story of two polar opposites who are experiencing the throes of mutual attraction, wherein one person is very direct and the other is an awkward teenage boy。 There’s definitely a huge swing away from the worst aspects of the first book, which is exactly what I was hoping for。Kyotaro maintains his gloomy and self-defeating outlook, but they largely excise his sketchier aspects (only one use of the word ‘uggo’ this time, thank god)。 While you could try and pin that on Yamada’s influence, he’s honestly no better in any other tangible way, so I suspect it was done to leaven him a bit。 And hey, it works。 It’s fun to watch these two fumble around while Kyotaro misses the point or can’t believe it’s possible Yamada might like him。 That doesn’t stop him from helping her out non-stop and if he took a second to think about it, he might realize he’s occasionally a pretty decent guy。Yamada continues to be a very free spirited young woman who is clearly super fond of Kyotaro and can’t seem to beat the notion into his thick skull。 Between shared drinks and bike rides and her endless attempts at conversation… well, Kyotaro has some work to do。 You’ll probably roll your eyes at him over the McDonald’s section。And there are some good gags, which is always a plus。 Yamada’s penchant for elaborate desserts comes back and is not only funny, but ends up leading to the filthiest joke I’ve seen in a long time。 It’s amazing what you can do with a little science, though I imagine everybody involved came away traumatized。The obnoxious kid who thinks with his lower half is also back and, much as I think he is everything I despise about teenage boys, I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge that his idiocy results in then single funniest joke in the book during a trip to a manga studio。 Plus a hilarious swipe at Baki that the author even apologizes for。There’s a lot of believable teenage experience here - the awkwardness of first romances, dummies who won’t shut up about sex, trying to talk about boys you like, the fights that are life and death matters and then being friends again five seconds later。 From the joys of sharing manga to another chapter about plus-sized acceptance that I really like the book continuing as a side story, there’s a ton of enjoyable stuff。 The battle over snacking in the library reaches a lovely little climax (and then immediately shrugs part of it off, because Yamada) and mint chocolate ice cream has never caused such public embarrassment before。It’s not the best thing ever written, but it’s a very good thing that’s getting better as it establishes a nicely varied core cast and develops the relationship between our two leads。 I can see this going somewhere and I definitely approve of the direction it’s headed。3。5 stars again, but I have expectations that this series is going to get a four out of me sooner rather than later。 It’s got a certain flair to it and, while it goes meaner than I’d like now and then, it mostly has its heart in the right place。 It really makes some welcome progress in both the story and the storytelling this volume。 。。。more
