just like the anime, I hated the arc including Nanami realising she fell in love with Tomoe and all her attempts at forcing something to happen aswell as being stupid enough to deal with Isohmi.

Even though this series is both hilarious and fun to read I think I am going to donate my current volumes to my local library and stick to the anime for now. Even though I enjoy this manga for what it is, I feel like it leans toward a younger audience and lacks the depth needed to engage older readers. It’s entertaining but the outrageous plot and surface-level drama just feels childish to me at times. I don’t want to invest my money into this very long series just to be disappointed because I want it to be something it’s not. However, I do plan on continuing with the anime and might potentially pick up the manga online if I need something light and entertaining to get me through the dreaded winter months.

Too much high school who-likes-whom drama actually it hardly even counts as drama it's so superficial.

I'm finding Nanami increasingly feeble and morally disappointing If someone has stolen someone else's eye out of his head, and then you learn that he did so to feed the freakin' eye to his sick girlfriend as medicine helping her to eat the eye is NOT the right thing to do, although I did like her brave attempt to save her fox friend.

4.5/5 stars.
I don't have anymore of these from my library...I may have to hoard them next time I go.
This series is really fun! I like it.

Best part of this manga is masochist Mizuki and don't try to deny it.

Tomoe with his hair down is always worth the price of admission. (And I promise it didn't take me five days to read this, I've just been slacking with Goodreads.)

That snake has a lot of opinions about female skin and it's a shame since, you know, you're a snake and that's your only personality trait.

[Aishah Humaira' (Mermaird ♡) · Rating 4 out of 5]

What I love the most about this volume is that Nanami finally has friends in school! Ami can be dense at times, but it's good to see her caring a lot for Nanami. Kei is cool, I like her.

And the fact that Nanami finally acknowledged that she does like Tomoe! Finally 🥺💖 Tomoe rejecting her was pretty much a given, but I still like that Nanami was honest about it. I NEED TO KNOW TOMOE'S ACTUAL FEELINGS FOR NANAMI. LIKE, RIGHT NOW.

Już czwarty tom za mną, który sprawia, że muszę pochwalić tę historię za dobre tempo fabuły. Ten kawałek niby daje nam jeszcze trochę rozwijania bohaterów i świata, ale widać, że coraz bardziej się wszystko zagęszcza i pojawiają się elementy, które w przyszłości będą mieć spore znaczenia. I cieszę się, że tak się dzieje, bo lubię, jak autorzy dają wskazówki co do przyszłych tajemnic.

This manga is my absolute favorite one, and I LOVE the anime as well.
Volume 4 is funny, adventurous and touching.
Tomoe is definitely my favorite but I also really like Mizuki. Definitely recommend this manga.

[Lena · Rating 4 out of 5]

Il viaggio nel passato è stato interessante.
Per me che ho già visto l'anime so bene che questo volume è molto importante e ci sono dettagli ed informazioni che vanno colte.

If you like humorous anime and manga and haven't watched/read this series, you really should. It just makes me happy. I love how Nanami is a teenager doing the best she can, but she has this insight because of the hard things she's gone through. She's such a likable character. And Tomoe....oh, Tomoe. I just adore him.

Since I've already watched the anime (several times) I'm coming at the manga already knowing the story, at least these beginning books that were covered in the anime. It's actually quite fun because I get all excited when my favorite parts show up.

Volume 4 covers the following key events:

*Nanami helps Ami thank Kurama.
*Nanami takes Tomoe on a "date" to the aquarium and confesses her feelings. I kind of wish this didn't happen so early in the plot, but we all knew where this story was headed anyway, so it's not that big of a deal. The part where Nanami falls and Tomoe saves her is really sweet.
*Because of the big confession it's pretty awkward between Nanami and Tomoe. The Snake loves it.
*Beach Day! Tomoe gets taken by Ryuo after he jumps in the water to save Ami.
*Nanami goes to the past to search for Ryuo's eye in an attempt to get Tomoe back. Mizuki helps her.
*Mizuki becomes Nanami's familiar to save her from the sea witch.
*They go get Tomoe back with the shriveled up eye. Tomoe was busy busting himself out. I LOVE when he hops back into the clam shell when he sees Nanami. That's one of my top 10 favorite moments.

AHH! The fangirl in me is squealing!!! Like, I've seen the entire anime (sorry for you manga purists out there) and I already knew this would be one of my favorite volumes. We get just a glimpse into why Tomoe is so adamant about falling for a mortal (Tomoe goes into the ocean to save Nanami's friend from drowning and is called to finish his bargain from forever ago . Nanami goes into the past to rescue Tomoe and finds out that he may have had a mortal love interest die from an illness despite his best efforts... so, perhaps we'll get the big vulnerability speech "can't lose someone else" bit. Fingers crossed). Also, loved the scene where she confesses her growing attraction to him and he dangles her over the side of the building in an effort to clear her head. And his "I'll never let you fall" promise is briefly broken when she continues to confess that all the fresh air in the world doesn't change her heart. And of course he jumps to her rescue her in the end). I just love the sweetness of this manga, but that it doesn't cancel out the eventual individual/couple growth that happens down the way. Here's to finding affordable copies!

Había olvidado la confesión de Nanami y que Tomoe la rechazará así en la azotea 😭😭
Nanami es muy devota a Tomoe pese a que la rechazaron 🥺 en serio que hace todo lo que puede solo por el cariño que le tiene 🥰
Y ya enserio? Que pro está, todos la quieren como su ama, pese a ser una "chica humana normal" 🤣🤣

El rey dragón le tiene miedo a su esposa jajajaj 🤣🤣

We love a beach episode!! But also the confession scene kills me every time. Mizuki is a familiar now too and I’m just loving the pacing of the manga. So satisfying how each volume is wrapped up nice!
