It took me a lot longer to get into this book then the first one but I enjoyed it all the same。Adachi’a inner thoughts and overthinking still reminds me of myself。 Shimamura thinking the other girl is weird and not really understanding or knowing what she’s thinking has be laughing。 And also curious how Shimamura will react when she finds out about Adachi’s crush。 Christmas and Valentine’s Day was sweet。 I enjoyed the countdown and the different points or view。 I thought Shimamura meeting her mi It took me a lot longer to get into this book then the first one but I enjoyed it all the same。Adachi’a inner thoughts and overthinking still reminds me of myself。 Shimamura thinking the other girl is weird and not really understanding or knowing what she’s thinking has be laughing。 And also curious how Shimamura will react when she finds out about Adachi’s crush。 Christmas and Valentine’s Day was sweet。 I enjoyed the countdown and the different points or view。 I thought Shimamura meeting her middle school best friend again would cause some tension with Adachi which might cause her to have to confront and confess her feelings but maybe it is not going down that route or at all。The ending with Shimamura coming to school and finding Adachi semi-celebrating cause me to think that her prayers were answered。 Looking forward to next novel but I might take a break a small bit so I don’t burn myself out or read too fast。 。。。more

Una de las cosas que más aprecie en este volumen fue la manera en la que shimamura se desarrolló como personaje， todo esto gracias a la entrada de Tarumi en escena， sinceramente espero que ver más de Tarumi y shimamura en el siguiente tomo。 Por otra parte disfrute mucho la salida de San Valentín que tubierin Adachi y Shimamura :3

CuteCute and well translated， I really love the interactions between Adachi and Shimamura。 A times it's slow but the build up feels really worth it。 CuteCute and well translated， I really love the interactions between Adachi and Shimamura。 A times it's slow but the build up feels really worth it。 。。。more

More annoying than adorable and more heartburn than heartbreak， ADACHI AND SHIMAMURA #3 does little to move the needle when it comes to registering substantive progress in the friendship between its title characters。 It's been cute and fun， seeing Shimamura stumble into responsibility as her high-school years wear on， and it's been a delight observing Adachi smash her senses to bits while standing on the precipice of pubertal romance， but beyond being cute and fun and occasionally delightful， th More annoying than adorable and more heartburn than heartbreak， ADACHI AND SHIMAMURA #3 does little to move the needle when it comes to registering substantive progress in the friendship between its title characters。 It's been cute and fun， seeing Shimamura stumble into responsibility as her high-school years wear on， and it's been a delight observing Adachi smash her senses to bits while standing on the precipice of pubertal romance， but beyond being cute and fun and occasionally delightful， this novel is stuck in a rut。One can only take so much of Adachi contracting the hiccups in public， or following the advice of a tawdry TV horoscope show， or debating herself on the ethics of harboring jealous thoughts over relational dynamics she has never witnessed。 Adachi was never a particularly fully developed character in this novel series， and it's clear the author has settled the girl firmly into the archetype of the quietly overconfident and thereby fundamentally inept。 This is all the more true with the book's events surrounding Valentine's Day。 The novel's articulation of what makes Adachi a character worth following wastes chapter upon chapter focusing on the girl's incessant failure at being true to herself （e。g。， failure to confess， failure to converse， failure to purchase a gift， failure to orchestrate an outing）。 Failure doesn't drive this girl， it defines her:"Desperation tinged my feelings for Shimamura; deep down， I was terrified that， barring some sort of divine intervention， I might never bridge the gap between us" （p。 65）。Readers would earn far more respect for this bumbling little fool if her quiet overconfidence weren't an end in and of itself but was later forced to rue its exploits （e。g。， purchasing a good/bad gift， orchestrating an out-of-character outing）。ADACHI AND SHIMAMURA #3 is well-written but doesn't demonstrate any purposeful command of the fates of its characters。 That is to say， no matter how beautiful the language and comfortable the narrative pacing， neither Adachi nor Shimamura seem better off for the author's mastery of the craft。 And whereas Adachi is treated more like an annoying puppy who can't get out of her own way， Shimamura is more opaque。 The girl's listlessness is well-documented， but it's clear she's slowly maturing into one who is increasingly aware of the social and cultural demands of a "young adult。" Of note is Shimamura's run-in with an old grammar-school friend， Tarumi。 The two were best buds back in the day， but three years is a long time。 And as the two girls struggle to rekindle even the smallest charm of a long lost friendship， Shimamura's interior analysis of the inevitable degradation of extended companionship proves impressively sharp， if patently nihilistic （"Some things were just better-off thrown out and replaced，" p。 192）。On this point， one could argue the two characters are moving in opposite， or rather， markedly different directions。 The shifting points of view are managed more cleanly in this novel， but it's not entirely to the narrative's advantage。 As with the previous two books， readers are again forced to sidestep or neglect the most sound perspective among those provided。That is to say， Adachi wallows in incompetence， fretting over the fantastical and imagined simplicity true love brings， while Shimamura is content to drift， ever onward。 Shimamura's encounter with old friends， negotiation with her family， and budding awareness of her creeping adulthood mark her for the more smartly crafted of the two characters。 As such， it's unfortunate the greater share of ADACHI AND SHIMAMURA #3 is to burrow as deep as possible into the emotional morass of Adachi's romantic agony。 。。。more

This feels like the most overtly "romance" （in the genre sense） volume of the series， but the flip side is that Adachi is much more into Shimamura than Shimamura is into her。 It's feeling a little unbalanced on that front， with Adachi coming off as desperate and Shimamura unaware of her friend's feelings。 I am having a harder time getting behind them as a couple than I was before， but I'll keep reading for now。 This feels like the most overtly "romance" （in the genre sense） volume of the series， but the flip side is that Adachi is much more into Shimamura than Shimamura is into her。 It's feeling a little unbalanced on that front， with Adachi coming off as desperate and Shimamura unaware of her friend's feelings。 I am having a harder time getting behind them as a couple than I was before， but I'll keep reading for now。 。。。more

Valentine’s Day approaches and Adachi is hoping to replicate the success of Christmas by exchanging chocolate with Shimamura。 Naturally this doesn’t take into account， well， anything， including Adachi’s increasing inability to form complete sentences around Shimamura lately。So THIS was interesting。 The tables have firmly turned in this volume， as Adachi has turned into the quintessential disaster lesbian and has lost all chill around Shimamura， making her the less communicative of the two for a Valentine’s Day approaches and Adachi is hoping to replicate the success of Christmas by exchanging chocolate with Shimamura。 Naturally this doesn’t take into account， well， anything， including Adachi’s increasing inability to form complete sentences around Shimamura lately。So THIS was interesting。 The tables have firmly turned in this volume， as Adachi has turned into the quintessential disaster lesbian and has lost all chill around Shimamura， making her the less communicative of the two for a change。She is an utter mess trying to work through her feelings - her half-hearted denials in her head are fewer and far between at this point， but major communication centres in her brain short-circuit around the object of her affection。It’s a lot to get through and much as it helps make some of her utter devotion to Shimamura make sense - Shimamura is pretty much the sole bright spot in Adachi’s life - filling an entire volume with this much awkward drags those sections down more than usual （although it is peppered with a smattering of fun moments， particularly the ending - I think that’s going to be super charming in the anime）That leaves it to Shimamura’s chapters to carry the day and， to my immense surprise， they do。 While she’s never been excited about much， you can see Shimamura slowly changing during this volume （maturing might even be the right word） and even some of her throwaway word choices （‘my Adachi’ is particularly telling） show that while she is still very dense， that doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about her friend。And the climax of this tale， while not as solid as the Christmas escapade， is certainly presented well。 Thanks to an awkward February 13th， we get to see Shimamura’s growing comfort and general acceptance of Adachi when events of one day are reflected by the events of the other， but the vibe is incredibly different。And if you think you know who wins the day here。。。 well。。。 let’s say it all comes back around to an amusing plot thread woven through the early parts of the book and some people’s attention to detail。 I really enjoyed how that played out。I’d give this book a solid 3。5 stars， but one I can’t really round up because it’s not as good as the last one （though it IS better than the first volume）。 Don’t get me wrong， I’m rooting for these two and I had fun with it， but this is not as strong as the series at its best。 。。。more
