Volume 8 features a visit by Takeo to Yamato's home and her parents! Also, Suna's sister Ai (who liked Takeo) comes home from college for a visit, followed by Oda, a guy who likes her, though he doesn't know how to impress her. Yamato, with her fine baking skills, goes to work in a bakery, where the chef begins to fall for her. Jealousy ahead for Takeo. My favorite part was the nervous parent meet. The other two parts are less memorable, less fun, but still very good.
I like the Michael Jackson style cover a lot!

This volume brought the Ai-Oda subplot to a new development. Although Takeo met Yamato's parents for this first time here, the chapters where he's the main focus were too few, and thus wasn't as memorable.

As a long-time Michael Jackson fan I specifically appreciate this volume's cover the most and was eager to own it because clearly it's my beloved MJ inspired; the pose, the glove, the jacket, the sparkles, and the pants. Beautiful. Love it.

Takeo Goda sweats his way through meeting his girlfriend's parents for the first time. Classic.
The focus then pivots to the love life of side character Ai Sunakawa, neighbor and big sister figure in Goda's life. It's a good arc, though it does too easily shrug off some stalkery acts and a couple of assaults that occur in the midst of the hijinks.
The volume wraps up with a little cliffhanger built around a co-worker at Goda's girlfriend's new summer job.
These would all be generic bits in any other manga, but Goda physical presence and sincere personality just elevate everything

Ok, un poco forzada la parte del romance de Ai pero la parte de la bicicleta si estuvo cardíaca.

3.5/5
Este volumen se divide en 3 partes:
En la primera, Yamato invita a Takeo a conocer a sus padres y su hermana menor, así que, él hace lo posible por dar una buena impresión, pero los nervios se lo comen, y termina sintiéndose un tanto incómodo. Sin embargo, su corazón de oro no pasa inadvertido y los padres de Yamato se dan cuenta de que en efecto es un chico peculiar, pero que jamás se atrevería a hacerle daño a ella, sino todo lo contrario.
En la segunda, Oda-san regresa junto con Ai a la casa de Suna, por la Golden week y mientras están allí, hace lo posible por hacerle ver a Ai que de veras quiere una oportunidad con ella. Pese a ello, el muy idiota se pasa de la raya, y le roba un beso, cosa que para nada está bien. Takeo, al ver las lágrimas de Ai, le da un golpe en el rostro y esto será razón suficiente para que Oda cese sus intentos, y decida irse a África con su padre.
Ahora bien, quiero hacer hincapié aquí porque realmente el besar a una persona a la fuerza se me hace algo nefasto y al vivirlo de primera mano, sé lo impotente, insultada y humillada que puedes llegar a sentirte. Creo que hay que dejar de romantizar eso de los “besos robados” porque si alguien te dijo que no, entonces haz caso y deja de insistir. Honestamente, los tipos como Oda llegan a sofocarme y yo jamás lo hubiera perdonado.
En la tercera, Yamato empieza a trabajar medio tiempo en una repostería, y aunque ya tiene práctica cocinando postres, se da cuenta de que quizá no sea lo más fácil del mundo. Aun así, y con Takeo apoyándola siempre, decide dar lo mejor de sí. Y es gracias a eso que un tipo súper arrogante, logra ver el valor de sus esfuerzos.
Ya para finalizar, creo que estos últimos volúmenes no han tenido la potencia de los primeros, pero no por eso dejan de ser menos disfrutables. La verdad es que el romance entre Yamato y Takeo es como un algodón sobre azúcar, y soy consciente de que en momentos llega a ser un poco irreal, pese a ello, son el tipo de parejas que siempre me tienen sonriendo como imbécil y que me alegran el corazón como nadie más.
Esta historia vale muchísimo el tiempo y dinero invertidos y estoy feliz de que ya sólo falten unos cuantos volúmenes más para terminarla. Mi meta es tener la colección completa y leer los que siguen antes de que se acabe el año.

Takeo finally meets Yamato's parents! So far into their high school relationship and he is only just now meeting them?! And she is so close to his family... I didn't expect that. Her sister worries me a bit but her parents are great. Both them and Takeo try too hard, resulting in an amusing meeting.
I really liked getting a bit more of a feel of Ai and Oda as well. Poor Oda needs to learn how to properly win a woman's heart though!
My favorite scene in this volume involves motorcycle helmets, a bicycle and a wedding dress! I will say no more there but it made me laugh!
Overall, I still really enjoy this series but at times early on it starts to feel a bit old, Yet just as I settle into that though, it seems Kazune Kawahara is adding a twist to add new excitement. Now eager for the next book!

Takeo meets Yamato's family, which goes pretty adorably. And then Sunakawa's sister Ai is back from college, with Oda following behind her. Even Oda loves Takeo! I love how the story with Ai and Oda ends up. Meanwhile, Yamato gets a part-time job at a pastry shop and Takeo has competition for her affections! Naturally, Yamato herslef is completely oblivious. :)

I think what I liked best about this volume was all of Takeo's crazy expressions.
This time around, we get learn a bit more about Takeo's family, a bit more about Sunakawa's sister, Ai, and have a bit of a (slightly forced) rivalry in love.
A fun read as always. :)

Ahhh just when I think I have a favorite volume, I read a new one and that becomes it! Ha!
I guess that is a good problem to have because it means I'm really enjoying the series and I definitely enjoyed this one!
I always like when we have Ai and Oda on page because they have a fun dynamic and "spice" things up by bringing extra humor. Plus, I really like them and rooting for them to be a couple!
The first chapter was SO good! I didn't really know what to expect when Takeo met Yamato's family, but it was a fun and great chapter!
I'm not fond of the new guy that shows up because he really doesn't listen to those around him. *nervous laughter* Sort of unsure where it's going to go from here, but I think the next cover makes a lot of sense due to how this volume ended. (And oh my goodness, Takeo's expression is HILARIOUS!!)
Sort of unrelated, but I really love how Takeo encouraged Yamato to do what she wanted to do deep down and pursue her passion. I thought that was really meaningful. <3
I realize this review is pretty scattered, but I laughed a lot reading this one! My favorite part is the whole family, including the baby, have that "deadly" look when they tell Oda that he better not make Ai sad because it was priceless! LOL!
Fantastic volume!

Vol. 3 ★★★☆☆
Vol. 4 ★★★★☆
Vol. 5 ★★★☆☆
Vol. 6 ★★★★☆
Vol. 7 ★★☆☆☆
The highlight of this volume is definitely Takeo visiting Yamato's parents. The rest of the chapters are okay. While I like Ai and Oda, the way their story wraps up is kind of clichéd and underwhelming. Yamato's bakery adventures got a chuckle out of me, but nothing more.

Este tomo podríamos decir que se divide en tres partes.
La primera, donde Takeo conoce a los papás de Rinko me encantó. Fue justo lo que esperaba, muy divertida. Pero los papás de ella pudieron ver que él es un buen chico, y eso es lo importante.
La segunda sobre la hermana de Suna y el chico que gusta de ella me preocupó un poco porque lo sentí bastante tóxico. No me termina de gustar ese chico y lo insistente que es. Pero como se termina disculpando no estuvo tan mal.
Sobre la tercera, esperaba que hubiera alguien que gustara de Rinko y haya un triángulo amoroso desde ese punto, pero tampoco me gusta muchi la persona con la que ocurre. Parece muy egocéntrico. Pero habrá que seguir leyendo a ver qué pasa.

I love how well Yamato’s parents and Takeo’s interaction went and it was really cute seeing how embarrassed and nervous he got. I got a bit nervous with Ai and Oda but am happy to see her finally giving him a chance. Also, it’s great to see how well Yamato is handling her new job. But a part of me isn’t sure how to feel about Ichirose. It’ll be interesting to see Takeo get jealous and finally have a possible love rival.

La primer parte algo entretenida, es la visita de Takeo a casa de Yamato para conocer a los papas, y pues si los nervios y todo eso.
La segunda parte es historia de Oda y Ai-San, esta interesante por que desarrolla esos personajes un poco.
La ultima historia es que Yamato consigue un trabajo en la pastelería, y un día que Gouda va a "espiarla" pasa algo que lo saca de onda.

Takeo meeting Yamato’s parents was just the cutest!
And the situation with Ai and Oda is heading in the direction I thought it would…
But what’s with this Ichinose dude at the bakery?! He thinks Yamato likes him??? Oh no trouble is coming (but I’m really not worried since this series is so chill lol)…

Pour une fois je mets une mauvaise note à un tome de cette série parce que je n’ai pas du tout aimé le traitement de l’intrigue amoureuse (unilatérale !) de Ai et Oda. Je trouve qu’Oda est un forceur qui ne sait pas accepter un non, mais l’amour ce ne se force pas !
Pour le reste, c’était un tome sympa mais il s’attarde peu sur Takeo et Rinko.

Takeo meeting Yamato's family was great. The final chapter about Yamato's job was pretty iffy. The middle two chapters were about pathetic predator Oda and involved him insulting Ai. It's really gross that they're making it seem like Ai and Oda are going to get together. More people should have punched him.

Some actual new content that wasn't in the anime! And it was so cute and heartwarming, in all honesty thr part that happened I was happy came about!
The last part moved onto the last part in the anime so once the cake store arc is done it should be all new content!! I cant wait!!

There was a story line that only lasted a short moment that I didn’t really like but it worked out okay in the end, overall I love this series dearly, it might be my favorite manga series or at least one of them. It made me so happy and giddy to read!
