and just like that another massive wave of emotion that makes me tear up, this panel...my girl she's come so far

I really wish we had seen what they did for it lol

being hit with **intense** emotion, no matter how many times I read this series over the years it still gets me.

Ryousuke's reply is perfect I feel, not feeding into it at all just...disappointed if anything because he wanted things to be nice and normal between them.

Parou's self-destructive tendency showing up once again, also him using 彼 to refer to Marika is not lost on me he is just trying to be maximum prick.

That and Marika being the mascot for the club can both be true

Marika didn't realize how much of an impact she had on Mai. Speaking of Mai, I wish she had gotten a *bit* more screentime. I like her and how she is the only girl to pursue Marika, but I think she could've used a bit more.

Akane has appeared, as per tradition lets all say "we love you Akane!"

these two getting along after everything is really nice to see.

onto volume 9, the reread continues!

it's so good, as I said earlier in the thread. Bad timing given she still has feelings for Parou at this point but he needed to say it either way.

I'm happy for him, things are looking up. Of course I already know how things go and things still won't be easy but this was still such a major milestone for him. I adore this mini arc on every reread.

such a strong scene every single time, no matter how much he may have wanted to keep following his sister he can't follow her there. She wouldn't allow it either way.

love to hear it!! Full Bloom was amazing and it's good to know that a lot of people are experiencing it. Here's hoping it continues to sell well!

I really like this scene, I feel bad for Ryousuke because it's obvious how much he cares for Marika and it's these little scenes that say it the most but time and place just get in the way each time. Tomochi is a perfect match for her but Ryousuke wouldn't have been bad either. Just bad timing.

it's so cute how she just pops out from behind him lol

alright and now I'm caught up, good stuff.
