This one is better than the last one great story. Can't wait too I read the next book I'm so in love with them

Got it on time, in good condition! A great story, both funny and heartwarming. Highly recommended!

My daughter loved this story! Beautiful drawings. Great for middle school age.

Great yet again.

~4/5While this volume didn’t grab me as much as the previous ones have, it’s still adorable. No matter what this series does, the characters are what’s driving it. The way Takeo and Yamato react to things and think is what drives every reaction.The first half of the volume, we get to see a lot of Ai, Sunakawa’s older sister, and a friend of hers who’s in love with her. We see more of what Ai is going through, being in love with Takeo and not wanting to tell him, all while another guy is pushing her, wanting to be with her in the same way.I like Ai, and I like her decision in the end, though I feel for the guy, as well.The second half, we meet a classmate of Takeo’s. They have to work together, and then she gets to know him, and he helps her out at every opportunity. Clearly some hero worship, to a big crush, is developing. And this time, Yamato starts catching on and worrying.Yamato is jealous, she has that tendency, and it’s interesting to see her feelings put to the test. All while Takeo is completely oblivious, until she talks to him. But the only thing Takeo is ever thinking of, especially when it comes to Yamato, is Yamato. He has no line of vision for anyone else. It’s sweet.That storyline isn’t fully over, I don’t think, and while there might be drama and worry, I don’t doubt that these two will work it out.The volume ends with a cute side story from when Takeo and Suna are kids, and Takeo helps them out of trouble. Very cute, sweet story.Overall, a very nice volume. I’m loving this series, and am looking forward to the next one.[More of my reviews are available on my blog, Geeky Reading, to which there's a link on my profile.]

This is an adorable manga and such a simple pleasure to read. Takeo Goda is a 6'7" giant lovable teddy bear who is rather tongue-tied around girls, even his swooning girlfriend Yamato. This volume has two stories that show us other girls are interested in Takeo, even though he is unaware of it and thinks he is not very popular. The first half has his best friend's sister trying to deal with her feelings that she has always harboured for Takeo while a boy from college has followed her home to try and win her over. The second-half concerns Takeo taking up training a girl in his class to help her prepare for a race in a school sports event which has her falling head over heels for him. Takeo is clueless, but the girl's intentions don't get past Yamato. The story deals with real teen relationship issues, a little overdramatic as we know to expect from shoujo manga, but these characters are good-hearted and kind-natured dealing with their feelings in ways that are unselfish. A feel-good sweet romance.
