Amar Y Ser Amado. Dejar Y Ser Dejado 11
La autora del superventas ao ha Ride, vuelve a sorprendernos con una nueva historia. Yuna y Akari son dos chicas con un concepto del amor completamente opuesto: Yuna es soñadora y romántica, Akari -en cambio- tiene los pies sobre la tierra. Aun así, se hacen muy amigas, pero las cosas cambian repentinamente cuando Yona se enamora de Rio, el hermano de Akari. Para complicar mas todo, este a su vez se enamora de Kazue, un amigo de la infancia de Yana. Cuatro visiones del amor muy diferentes entre sí, retratadas como sólo Io Sakisaka puede hacerlo.

Inui presses forward with his career aspirations, but Akari is being courted by Ryosuke at the same time. Will his attempts to seize the day leave Inui grasping at air? Elsewhere, Rio and Yuna are adorable, but some dates are definitely better than others.
Phew, finally. The long-awaited confession between Inui and Akari occurs, but not before the maximum amount of tension can be wrung from it, although nothing as ludicrous as a car accident or anything (*cough* author’s previous work *cough*).
Whether this really works is less on the shoulders of our characters - I think they all acquit themselves really well here, especially Ryosuke, who knows he’s lost but is making one last push to try and offer Akari something that he knows she no longer needs.
However, this whole thing has been dragged out so long that it’s up to the reader to decide if it was worth all the effort. It was nice to see Akari acknowledge/realize that she’s changed, but the confession proper (combined with what I can only assume is Sakisaka making fun of herself because otherwise it’s just ridiculous) just kind of lands with an ‘okay’ that is definitely not the intention.
Said confession quickly gives way to actual dating and it’s been a really nice change to see this mangaka tackling people’s dating lives because she’s seriously good at writing them.
Despite less panel time (except for one very annoying and culturally specific storyline about public affection), Rio and Yuna remain absolutely adorable together. They’ve been a strong couple and the writing sells their affection for one another with a quiet confidence. There’s no question of how they feel, you can just tell, and that’s no mean feat.
Inui and Akari have a date that captures the nervous and the hormonal in equal measure. Akari is truly the MVP of this volume - she’s truly alive now in a way she wasn’t before and the art on the panel where she says she feels like she’s floating is just a minor masterpiece.
The date is really sweet and full of young love moments that feel just real enough, yet also just scripted enough. It’s got a balance that really makes it work. Doubly so when contrasted with poor Rio’s date, where he makes an incredibly presumptive assumption that hilariously doesn’t pan out.
The domestic squabbles get kind of ironed out, although that’s just a prelude to yet another ridiculous plot swerve at the end of the volume. The way that Akari and her stepdad turned out to be kind of on the same wavelength was a nice touch.
It’s good, but not great. That public affection thing lands like wet burlap without the cultural background, frankly. I would scandalize that gossipy neighbour if she ever saw me, so I just didn’t quite resonate with it. The lead-up to the confession has some classic author tropes that are mostly okay, but definitely imply that her universe operates on Murphy’s Law.
3.5 stars and the Akari stuff and the delightfully enjoyable first date are juuuust enough to tip the scales. This series is strongest when focused on the interactions of couples and with a new one in the mix it should hopefully get even more fun.

Omg, the dense duo are finally dating. But the ending has me in bits, why the cliffhanger? I swear if they move I'll be devastated!

"Whether that place and this place are truly different depends on me."
WOW! It is amazing how Io Sakisaka linked events and things said in this volume to previous volumes! Just wow!
I really really loved the quote I shared above because I think it reflects the greatest change in Kazu. The personal hurdles he had overcome so that he would even WANT to try. To see the excuses he was making without even realizing it and how maybe even greater than the worry of what his parents would say or do, he was caging his own self.
Even with Akari and her realizing that she doesn't need to be a certain person to tell Kazu she likes him. That even if she is frustrated with the lack of "change" in her life, she still can pursue Kazu and stand by his side. Not just as an ally, but as a lover.
I thought both of their storylines were extremely powerful in this volume and felt later events were so satisfying because of the struggle these two have had thus far. It made me get pretty emotional honestly because of everything that's happened and how brave these two are. <3
THAT ENDING THOUGH!!!! NO, NO, NO!!! That can NOT be the end game after everything our leads have overcome to get to this point!
VERY much hoping for a good and strong ending because I'm like MY EMOTIONS ARE SO FRAYED RIGHT NOW! LOL!

This volume really took me on a rollercoaster of emotion and it’s ALL DIRECTLY RELATED TO AKARI. JUST WHEN THINGS WERE STARTING TO GO SO WELL. Io Sakisaka’s art is absolutely dreamy as usual, though, so I guess it’s fine.

3,5
And we reach the this shôjo's climax.
The first two chapters are pretty much about Akari's and Kazu's drama. Akari asserts her feelings to both herself and Ryousuke, who gets some closure before exiting the scene, and Kazuomi does the same with his parents, who come to an understanding with him. In the meanwhile, Rio decides to do something about their parents' fight and talks with his father to think at least a little about how Akari and he are feeling.
Then Akari and Kazu confess.
So, I feel like this is where most of the series reaches its climax, like I said. On one hand, we finally see Akari realize just how much she has changed since moving here and meeting Yuna: now, just like her, she can also be honest about what she feels and wants, which is made clear when she rejects Ryousuke, confesses to Kazu and thinks that in the case of a divorce, she won't follow her mother. Kazu does pretty much the same, and also decides to get over his undecisiveness and confess to Akari in that exact moment, because tempus fugit, life is unpredictable and you never really know what's going to happen next. This is a major theme in Aoha Ride, and seems like one of Sakisaka's favorites.
Rio, who for the most part wasn't doing much in these last volumes, helps to reconcile the Yamamoto household. This is probably for me Sakisaka's major innovation, since the whole "girl's and boy's parents marry each other and they have to live together" cliche typically is used in either romcoms or raunchy or over-the-top shôjo manga where both characters fall in love and have to keep their relationship secret from everyone else. What Sakisaka-sensei does instead is treat it in a more realistic way: yes, Rio was in love with Akari, but he fell for her before their parents remarried and no, she doesn't feel the same, even if at some point she fancied going out with him. And here the parents are concerned about a possible relationship between the both of them.
In the end Rio had to get over his feelings for Akari after she rejected him, and here at last he does something to keep the family together, because they four or them finally think of each other as family, exactly what Akari wanted. It was a heartwarming moment to say the least, especially when you consider that Yuna and Kazu live in the same building.
Going back to Akari and Kazu, their confession was beautifully done. I can't believe they are so oblivious about each other's feelings, but it took them 11 volumes to get together, after all. I think Sakisaka-sensei really captured the depth of their feelings for each other there.
The rest of the volume is a chapter of pure fluff where Akari and Kazu get intimate together, and a last one that starts the finale of the story. And, well, I think Rio's dad having to move to the US fits the story, since there has been enough foreshadowing about Akari wanting to study English, but I kind of wish the author had found something better for Yuna and Rio than the whole drama about the busybody neighboor who keeps spying them being lovey-dovey and spreading rumours. Maybe it's just cultural shock, since Y&R were just embracing each other, but I had to roll my eyes at that.
Oh, and one small moment I liked was Yuna being nervous but confident about being in a new class full of people she doesn't know. It shows her progress :)
And with that said, let's see how Sakisaka-sensei ties everything up in the next volume.

A warm-hearted volume.
Art: ★★★★☆
Story: ★★★★☆
This was a cute and cheerful volume. It's nice to see Akari and Kazuomi's relationship finally resolved. I was personally grateful that the mangaka was honest about how dense both of them were being. They were so insecure it annoyed me, though mostly because I had been there before. I, too, can be clueless when it comes to realizing somebody else likes me. Perhaps that's why I didn't enjoy watching that flaw play out over the pages.
I thought the story lost focus once it resolved the original relationship between Yuna and Rio. Truthfully, Yuna's character has moved from main character to supporting role. However, it has still been an enjoyable read. That's why I found myself wondering where on earth the story would go now that the major family and romantic relationships have been resolved. Fortunately, the author didn't disappoint. The last chapter ends on a tropish, but realistic cliffhanger. I'm looking forward to the next volume.

*4.5*
"Right now, I feel like I'm falling more and more in love with Inui-kun."
FINALLY!!! Akari and Inui finally decided to stop being so stupid, and properly expressed their feelings for each other. After that happened, this volume was really able to really open up and become more entertaining. I especially loved the comedic scenes between Yuna and Rio, I actually teared up from laughing so hard. Also, this was the first volume that made me really want to slap a bitch, just saying. I can't wait to see what'll happen in the final volume!

El ex de Akari... tengo emociones encontradas: a veces estoy fangirleando y otras... lo quiero ahorcar cuando dice algo de su relación de Inui y Akari como eso de que: sólo lamen las heridas del otro y así, lo dice igual porque no sabe lo que realmente hablan.
Por otro lado Inui... es lento (me gusta eso) y también entiendo por qué es tan lento.
Pobrecito, solo quiero que haga lo que quiere y que su padre lo deje ser :’)
En fin... ya solo me falta un volumen y estoy que no puedo ¿en qué momento me leí 8 volúmenes en dos días aún si tener tanto tiempo libre?

4.5 but 5 stars because idiots in love is one of my favourite things to read about!
Anyway, that ending - boy, I so did not see that coming! That being said... I hope things will get solved somehow because we have just one more volume and I cannot take the pain!
Also, I cried reading this volume - at the parent bit, very good stuff.
And the other ship is sailing! So good stuff there too! Only I am anxious for the final volume! AAAAA!

Su, Sakisaka-sensei, la vogliamo finire qui che la stai tirando un po' troppo lunga?
La parte con Ryusuke non mi è piaciuta proprio e la nuova vicina sembra essere il tema per il prossimo volume.
Ma non è proprio male: quando parlano dei loro sogni la storia riprende quota. Son le faccende d'amore che son un po' pesanti.

Nem acredito que o Kazu e a Akari finalmente ficaram juntos!!! 😭😍 Demorou mais tempo do que a Yuna e o Rio, mas valeu a pena! Adorei a forma como eles se declararam e já acho os dois super fofos juntos.
Como sempre, o volume terminou com um cliffhanger que pelo amor de deus, tomara que não se concretize.

yay!!! everything's coming full circle! except for that little bit at the end where they have to MOVE!!! I really loved the start of Kazu and Akari's relationship. I also liked that Ryosuke was able to accept and move on. (maybe he'll come my way) I rated this five stars because the part where everyone is together and happy is the best part in any book.

Nos vamos acercando al final, y se nota, sobre todo en como ha terminado el tomo, no me esperaba para nada eso.
Lo que más me ha gustado de este tomo ha sido ver como ha evolucionado Akari y Kazoumi, me parecen lo más adorable del mundo, sobre todo cuando están juntos.
Este ha sido otro de los tomos que más me han gustado.

It's nice that everything is cleared up between Akari and Kazu. It's kind of funny how the tables have turned and Yuna is more confident and is able to say what she's feeling compared to Akari in the last few volumes.
But I'm glad that all 4 characters have grown throughout the series. That cliffhanger though...time to wrap this up with the last volume next~

E qualcuno vuole assoldare un cecchino per far fuori la casalinga pettegola, per favore? Mai che la gente si facesse i cavolacci suoi...

Akari and Kazuomi are together finally and they are so cute together. Yuna and Rio are as adorable as ever and they are really coming into them selves as people now. The cliff hanger at the end is nerve racking. This is one of my new favorite manga. It is so worth the read and so enjoyable.
December 21, 2024
Akari and Kazu changed a lot over the course of the story but it was the most obvious in this volume, where it was necessary for them to step up and be honest with themselves. It’s good that they finally got together after everything though.
