Ah, the return of my favorite manga dysfunctional relationship. Usual warning still applies, anyone with a history of being bullied and can't stand to see that it any form, stay far, far away.
With that said, this volume is... different. The tone is a lot less mean spirited a good portion of the times (making the more problematic bullying scenes more shocking as we don't see them as much). Nagatoro honestly seems downright protective of Senpai several times in this volume. Does that make the relationship between these two any less dysfunctional? Of course not.
We get far more of a focus on Nagatoro's friends in this volume, which honestly is a negative aspect for me. I like seeing Nagatoro and Senpai's interactions, but her friends I don't particularly care for at all. The only time I like this dynamic is when Nagatoro sees them go too far and get's a more intimidating design towards them instead, but the joke is done a few too many times with them being more of a focus, and looses a bit of the charm.
This is another solid volume, though honestly my least favorite thus far. Still an enjoyable 3/5, but at this point if you've gotten this far, you know what you're in for and probably know if you'll enjoy it or not without a review. So either go off and enjoy or stay FAR away.

Better than vol 1 and 2

Still a little skeeved out by this but there were a couple chapters that were actually endearing and cute, specifically the video game chapter
October 23, 2022
The cat and mouse game continues, as Nagatoro plays with her prey. But between the bruising bats and bloody clawing, she sneaks in a few pets and treats. Of course, just as she shows signs of softening, her friends crowd in to take their own swipes at the poor mouse.

The ongoing torment of senpai by Nagatoro continues apace, with the elephant in the room being that the two sort of like one another. Is this a healthy relationship? Ah, uh... yeah...
So this is still pretty cute for what it is, even if it feels like it’s getting rougher as it goes in terms of writing and art. Scenarios basically play out with senpai being tormented by Nagatoro and maybe he does a nice thing or comes to her rescue or she manages to go too far and gets an amusing comeuppance (adding the latter certainly made the series easier to tolerate).
Honestly, senpai kind of feels like a masochist at this point because he and Nagatoro are pretty much stuck together like glue for this book, even when he’s allegedly trying to avoid her. Though she hardly makes it easy, in his defence.
Some of it works really well - the two of them playing video games is pretty adorable since they both just kind of reach a middle ground in terms of comfort and play off one another’s quirks. The sno cone chapter is also a highlight.
The little single drawings between the chapters are some of the funniest parts - there is a picture of senpai eating anpan (and no I will not give context, it would ruin it) and the look on Nagatoro’s face is just brilliant.
I didn’t go back and re-read previous volumes but the art feels like the style has gone ridiculously stringy and Nagatoro has some of the most insane expressions of anything I’ve read lately. She seems to really be getting cartoonier as the series progresses.
Senpai could still use some fleshing out. He just doesn’t have enough personality to quite match up with Nagatoro - I really wish his sketching was more prominent because it’s a cool character beat and it pays off the somewhat torturous beach section with a pretty cute capper.
If I could change one thing about this series, it would be Nagatoro’s two friends, who continue to bully senpai the way that Nagatoro did in the first volume. By this point she is incredibly protective of senpai and comes to his rescue, but they are relentless to the point where it feels uncomfortable. Honestly, if you’re triggered by bullying, buyer beware on that point alone.
I think this series would mostly appeal to people who like either the Takagi-san series or Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out. It’s not as kind as either of those, but not as blatantly cheesecake as the latter (though there’s plenty of fan service here). I certainly don’t dislike this series, but it’s not a favourite either.

Less mean and spiteful pranks and more cute, semi-sexy pranks. Also it's funny see Nagatoro get jealous of her friends for picking on her lover. On top of that her getting jelly she had tiny boobs was also lolz.
Overall, a lot more fun than the last two.

4 stars!
I enjoyed this volume a lot. I loved how most chapters were outside of the Art classroom. I like how Nagatoro is beginning to really enjoy spending time with Senpai and vice versa. Senpai is becoming more normal around her (less blushing) and she’s becoming more nice (and blushing more). I like how he’s coming out of his shell more. It shows that indeed it’s not just stand alone chapters, but there’s development. His haircut improved his appearance.
p.s. I loved how he said that Nagatoro promised to cut his hair, so the others couldn’t.
p.s.s. I loved that little panel where he told her friends to shut up after they were teasing him. Nagatoro was all like ..? It relates to the other chapter were she mentioned he needed to start making comebacks for her.
p.s.s. the ending of this volume was cute, him drawing nagatoro at the beach and all.

Este tomo 3 es, a mi parecer, el mejor de los que salieron hasta el momento.
Ya no es tan frustrante la relación de los dos ya que Nagatoro sigue haciéndole bromas a su senpai pero él ya no se la banca tanto, así que en algunos momentos se impone. Más allá de eso, podemos ver cómo le gusta y disfruta pasar tiempo con Nagatoro.
A su vez, podremos ver cómo Nagatoro se pone celosa cuando sus amigas le quieren hacer a su senpai las mismas bromas que ella y lo reclama como “yo solo puedo hacerle esto”.
Algo que me gusta y que me gustaría rescatar, es que gracias a la amistad que están forjando él puede salir de su casa, dejar de ser tan túmido y hasta forjar su carácter.
Espero con ansias los demás tomos.

This is a story about two high school students who are uncomfortable dealing with members of the opposite sex. The boy, known only as "senpai" to the girl and to us (or "paisen" to her friends), is withdrawn and shy. I was like that when I was in high school; hence my interest. The girl (Miss Nagatoro) is teasing to the point of bullying, but she obviously has a thing for senpai. I enjoy the interplay between them so far.

This series is getting better as it goes on. I do like that Senpai is becoming more relaxed around Nagatoro, and the art is still super cute. I also like the friendship they are building. Nagatoro is more teasing now, and not being a bully like before, so I am actually maybe goanna stay with this one after I finish what I already have.

I found this volume in one of the free exchange libraries by my place I haven’t read the first two that I hear this volumes better the relationship is definitely dysfunctional and this one still but from what I’ve been told it’s a lot less I was expecting better from all the stuff I’ve heard about this series that I’ve read a lot worse I might read the others I’m just not gonna be in a big hurry it just wasn’t exactly my gray cup of tea.

3.5 Stars. This was the most Slice of Life feeling book so far. This is also the first volume in which I truly felt that Nagatoro went too far. Not as many laugh out loud moments as book 2 but still enjoyable.

QUAND VA-T-IL CRAQUER?!
On retrouve avec plaisir la mauvaise langue Nagatoro qui fait tout son possible pour enquiquiner son "Sempaï" mais au fond... C'est parce qu'il ne la laisse pas indifférente... Quand à savoir exactement pourquoi ce besoin de repousser celui qu'elle aime! Chépa ! Mais en tout cas, c'est drôle!
Nagatoro fait un parallèle avec Sempaï et un mouton (sa coupe de cheveux très touffue) ça m'a fait rire...
Sempaï commence à répondre un peu "Tu me casse les oreilles" etc ...
C'est déjà quelque chose de plus sérieux quand il empêche les autres filles de lui couper les cheveux parce que cette tâche incombe à Nagatoro.
On commence à percer un peu la carapace de Nagatoro ... Les deux amoureux vont créer des liens à l'aide du jeu-vidéo;
Un domaine où Sempaï prend l'avantage pour une fois.
On continue les blagues sur le gros geek otaku qui réagit toujours de façon gêné envers la gente féminine. "Raisen" les femmes lui courent après... Il n'a rien demandé...
Le côté fou de Nagatoro qui surprend les autres filles à draguer Raisen est franchement drôle. Elles ont peur d'elle. Peu importe comment elle le traite, Nagato lui dévoue tout son temps. En réalité en traitant Raison d'obsédé/cochon, c'est là qu'elle fait tout simplement un Transfer...
J'aimes les enchainements dynamiques des chapitres. Raisen est un peu cruel avec Nagatoro quand il lui dit qu'ils ne sortent pas ensembles.
En bref____
Les jeux de l'Amour et de la séduction entre deux adolescents dont un un peu renfermé sur lui même et une au contraire débordant d'énergie et d'entrain.
Positif____
Le sourire de Nagatoro.
L'asocial à qui l'on donne un coup de main pour être à l'aise en société.
Négatif____
Le côté un peu potache, "oh mon dieu des nichons" (j'ai hésité à la mettre dans positif, celle là ^_^).

TLDR: This one has some slightly uncomfortable scenes, but still feels a bit more playful in nature than bullying. Once again it is between a 2.5 and 3 for me.
Longer Review: I actually like some of the comedic parts for this one. There are less scenes that make you uncomfortable, but there are still a few. I will say, it could just be the shock in a sense. Early on, you were somewhat bothered by her bullying, but it could be that by the third volume you don't get bothered as much. I am not saying this is a guarantee, but it is a possibility. There are also some characters that are introduced (not really introduced, but who appear more frequently), but they will bother you almost every single time that they appear. The thing with the series that it is starting to do really well is that it is getting you to see our main protagonist as less of an antagonist. Her teasing still crosses the line, but you start to see more sides to her. It still feels like a guilty pleasure manga. The type of thing you would be embarrassed if your friend found out you were reading it. I wish I could better explain it, but I cannot. It may make more sense to you if you read it. As more time passes, it gets closer to a 3 star review than a 2.5.

Finished this volume in one sitting because I'm hooked on it and note the next volume is only at the pre-order stage. While I enjoyed this volume, it feels weaker than the first two, perhaps because it mostly feels like a "Part 2" to Volume 2, continuing much of the same thematic elements...once more we're able to gauge Nagatoro's real feelings by how she reacts to her female friends deciding to bully HER Senpai without her around...she always finds out, or walks in on them and is angry--at them. They do at least seem also afraid of Nagatoro themselves and usually back down. This volume has the obligatory "beach" episode one comes to expect in anime & manga. It also has some downright wholesome moments like Nagatoro reluctantly inviting Senpai to her house to get out of the driving rain...and they wind up playing video games on her brother's console. Nagatoro shows genuine sweetness from time to time....but if Takagi-san is like the sweetest white chocolate drizzled over a strawberry that is sweet with a hint of tart, Nagatoro is a coffee bean covered in rich, slightly bitter dark chocolate...sweet but overpoweringly strong and not for everyone.

The terror shows she actually cares, more & more.
She is VERY possessive of him. Nothing makes her mader, quicker, that other gal girls trying to mess with him. You can see that she really likes him. And he likes her too, but isn't sure how to accept those feelings, let alone do anything about it. I think she will continue to slowly change sempai, for the positive(?), to be more popular. Or maybe she just wants to help him step outside his safety zone. Whatever it is, they make a good pair. He may be shy, & act like it annoys him, but he likes it that one of the cutest girls in school wants to spend time with him. Her 2 gal friends though, they aren't very nice to sempai. They don't realize what's really going on between the 2. I'm really enjoying this series. Art, very good. Dialogue, very real, very good. Characters, believable, likeable, relatable, and in Nagatoro's place, oh so adorable.

“Say, senpai… Do you wanna come over?”
A lot of cute moments between Nagatoro and Senpai. Like the last volume, this one continues to be one shots of their time at school and during summer break. However, we do get a lot of firsts in this volume.
I believe their beach outing is the first multi-chapter story. It’s a nice preview of the longer arcs we’ll get soon. I think this is also the first time Senpai draws Nagatoro unprompted. It was nice to see Senpai and Nagatoro just hang out and enjoy each other’s company. They really are so sweet with each other. Even with Nagatoro’s teasing.

Apesar de ter uma atitude ou outra que me incomodou, é costume nesses animes e não foi nada drástico ao ponto de estragar uma leitura que eu curti tanto do início ao fim. Não me lembro de ter lido algum capítulo nesse volume ue não tenha sido adaptado no anime, então poder ver tudo o que já tinha visto animado, agora dessa forma foi muito bom também.

The latest shenanigans of Senpai and Nagatoro see the two working out together, giving him a haircut and getting shaved ice as summer begins. He reluctantly joins her and her friends Gamo and Yoshi on a trip to the beach and despite the teasing, it’s ends satisfyingly well. pc. 163. A- (91%/Excellent)

Really enjoy this series, lots of humor and especially character development. The protagonist is a nerd with zero social skills, whom Ms. Nagatoro, his junior classman, decides to torment relentlessly. While a degree of torment continues through the series, over time, we see their relationship moving towards friendship. Fun read!

Dopo il secondo volume che mi ha lasciata un po’ indecisa se continuarlo sono felice di essere andata avanti perché palesemente, nonostante Nagatoro mi stia sulle scatole per il suo modo di fare, ha preso una sbandata per Senpai (possibile che al terzo volume non si sappiano ancora il nome?!🤔).
Una storia da adolescenti per adolescenti ma che comunque mi sta prendendo.

I like this series so far. Very fun and different reading experience for myself personally. I do want something good to happen between the two main characters soon. This series has some serious potential. I can't wait to pick up the next volume someday soon.😊

Z początku miałam wrażenie, że relacja bohaterów zaczęła się trochę poprawiać i większość tego tomu dobrze mi się czytało. Rozdziały o obcinaniu włosów, deszczu i wycieczce na lody były nawet fajne. A potem... Te nieszczęsne rozdziały plażowe. Ugh. Powracamy do punktu wyjścia i przemocy :|

Nagatoro le baja un par de rayitas al bullying que le hace al senpai y pues es menos inconveniente.
Pero ahora son las amigas las que le hacen ese bullying, aunque en cuanto Nagatoro llega huyen.
