I wish I could give it 4 stars but the first chapter of this volume was horrible (YES IT LOSES TWO STARS FOR THAT, THAT'S HOW BAD IT WAS). The rest was good tho (~3.5-4 stars).

(I'm basically spoiling the whole 1st chapter down there you don't have to read ch1 anyway cuz it's basically a filler episode and I don't spoil the rest.)







Get ready for a rant about the 1st chapter :

We learn Akemiya is basically being trafficked by his little sister?!? Wtf... why is a child putting photos of her big brother (who's still a minor as well) cross-dressing in a slip dress in suggestive poses on the internet?? He lets her do it for the dumbest reason too.

Then she forces him to go on a date with our fl by menacing him of exposing him on the website she made for him?!? And stages a bunch of perverts (p*dos by the way) to find them on the date so the fl can get attacked and he can make her fall in love with him. In exchange for that she gives them photos of children who go to primary school?!?!?

AND ALL OF THIS IS PLAYED AS A JOKE AND SHE DOESN'T FACE ANY CONSEQUENCES?!?!!?!!?!!!

The sister should be in jail. I don't care that she's still a child she should be in jail.

WHY couldn't the author find another way to make the fl and Akemiya on a date?!? And even then why does the scene with the p*dos even exists 🤮

Also the sister feels inc*stuous at times with how she interacts with her brother.

I hated the 1st chapter. I have a lot of problems with the first chapter. It's so so so gross.

The only good part Akemiya is maybe trans 👀?!? There were a lot of hints pointing to that. And he's treated decently when cross-dressing.


The rest of the manga (who made me want to continue the series even with the big L at the start):

There's basically what you could call a beach episode, an aqua parc episode and a convention episode. + A new character and I love her, she's great and surprisingly got the spotlight even though the other characters didn't when they where introduced, it was pretty nice to get her be fleshed out instead of being a glorified wallpaper like the others (I really hope the rest of the group gets fleshed out as well instead of their whole personality being that they like women).

I love the emotions in this volume.
It's also a lot more hilarious I can't stop laughing at some parts.

除了人物很設定感之外,括泳衣場景和身材很好的部分,似乎都有點 service 的意味,總覺得這在以百合為主打的故事中比較少見。(當然也可能是我比較少看)

不過那種除了當事人之外,其他人都想拜託兩位趕快在一起這可能是我的萌點?

Pasan muchas cosas pero no sucede nada. Estaba creída que después de este tomo iba a abandonar el manga porque no termina de interesarme, pero las últimas páginas me dieron la esperanza de que quizá la cosa empiece a mejorar...

Another beautiful volume of Sasameki Koto. :)

This time we have a date with our crossdresser (forced, sisters can be scary it seems), love, confessions, girl club (and a half-dead car, which makes me relive Azumanga Daioh or Lucky Star).

I really loved the useless additions that were added in this volume, and I wouldn't call them useless at all, they were random, but very funny and also at times very sweet.

*snickers*Oh, lol at Kazama's brother who writes Shoujo manga. And how no one can know he is actually a guy, and not a girl. :)

Aoi-san was really adorable, how she did her best for Sumika-chan, and Sumika totally was oblivious to her attention. Luckily in the end everything ends up ok. Sumika and of course the others are true friends.

Sumika is such an idiot. Thinking Kazama wouldn't mind it that much if she didn't call. Argh girl, you should know better!

All in all a volume to remember, and I will keep cheering for both girls to get together! Go Sumika, Go Kazama!

I started to read it by chance for a random recomendation of my girlfriend.
I consumed all the books in 5 days or so...
I love the way the story is shown. How all flow of a very smooth way where the story drives you in a very romantic, kind and innoscent that is soo rare but refreshing now a days.
Where the main idea is show a perfect balance between Friendship and Romance.
You end up love every character of this story and forgive them everything.
This story really is recommended for everyone. The art of the manga is simple but effective. and with one of the most enjoyable story that I've read in the last years.
