This was a super cute continuation of volume 1, except for one thing.
Yikes, but what happened to the artwork!?!? Unless it was like that in the first volume and I never noticed. It wasn't ugly per say, but usually only when drawing the MC h did the artwork look cartoonish, which resulted in her looking incredibly immature. Everyone else looked normal.
This is probably just a "me" thing, as others really loved this and focused on the story and the characters, rather than the artwork, but the artwork just distracted me from fully enjoying the very cute story and the situations the characters were in. Which is a shame, because it was adorable.
3, YMMV and I hope I read the next one right, stars.

Summer’s here and that means warm weather and summer homework. As Tani and Suzuki navigate their first summer as a couple, they’re not the only ones who might find love. Minus a couple slight bumps in the road.
The secret sauce of why this story is good is one that many manga should be terribly envious of - this entire cast is a heck of a lot of fun to spend time with. They feel like friends with world-ending problems that are anything but in the grand scheme of things. So, teenagers, basically.
We start off with a very silly late night convenience store run that turns into an unscheduled meet-up and emphasizes an ongoing wrinkle in an otherwise smooth relationship - Suzuki is far too quick to make assumptions about how Tani feels about things.
Which is something that many, many relationships have to adjust to, so this reflection of the honeymoon phase is pretty spot on and adds a little friction to what would otherwise be one terribly cute couple (see: the very next chapter, which is wonderful).
But, as happens, it is the introduction of the woefully shy Nisshi who runs away with the volume with her burgeoning crush. The fake-out implying that this is a crush on Tani is mercifully brief and gives the very bouncy Yamada something to do.
In fact, Yamada goes from a one-note nothing to kind of an amazing character this volume with the introduction of Nisshi, who absolutely catches his eye in a way he can’t quite figure out (young love, so pure).
The way he goes about getting her contact information just before summer break is one of the sweetest, nicest moments I’ve ever seen in a manga and it is absolutely a moment of pure joy in a pretty great story.
Everything else bounces around between school stuff and summer stuff, although miraculously no beach appears in this volume, plus a clear appreciation of cats (bonus points for that).
It’s all incredibly enjoyable and there’s a real joy to be found in simply kicking back with this group of kids as they slowly grow up and learn about themselves and one another. I really want to see if that other, other coupling happens too.
There are a couple times where it goes a little slow, Nisshi can take forever with her lack of self-confidence, and Tani’s nature means that he is often the eye of a very energetic storm. But that’s pretty small stuff compared to what’s on offer.
4.5 stars - I wasn’t going to round it up, but dang was this ever good, and Yamada pretty much sealed the deal. The term ‘feel-good’ was made for series like this.

好久沒看青春校園戀愛喜劇
結婚後心境轉變
看校園劇已經越來越少緬懷惆悵感了
這回被尖端總編的臉書發文推坑
沒想到真的好好看喔
雖然很喜歡日常系的校園戀愛作品
但在千篇一律的學園祭修學旅行聖誕節情人節裡
還是只有特定的作品會讓我一看再看
究竟是為什麼呢
若說要像文案自誇的寫實系戀愛
不覺得日本高中生會如此果斷的互相直球對決
恐怕就連台灣的學生也不會如此熱情奔放吧
大概是這部分鏡雖然浮誇，但角色的思維都非常實際
同時又很有十幾歲青少年的純真吧
高木同學很搞笑，說真的不會很想一直重看
躍動青春是日常，不過重點不是戀愛
這部作品是久違的校園戀愛劇新坑
雖然是踩地雷試看，卻欲罷不能
如今第三集也快要出版了
尖端出得還滿快的
希望趕快追上日本進度

You and I Are Polar Opposites Vol. 2 continues the charm from the first volume. It is cute. It is fun. The art works perfect for the story and characters. I especially like that the friction in the relationship feels like normal school age stuff and not some overdramatic plot line to ramp up tension. It is relatable. It feels low stake and unforced. Outside the main couple, the other characters continue to feel fleshed out with their own personalities and quirks. The focus bounces between characters in a way that works great for this ensemble of kids. I am as interested in the secondary characters as the core protagonists. This series just works at every level. It makes me feel good when I am immersed in it, and I am eager to see where things go.

La història millora força en el segon volum, cosa que no m'esperava!! El fet que apareguin tants personatges secundaris amb crushos i problemes diversos li aporta molta frescor, sempre passen coses!!! La parella protagonista, a més, és ben cuqui i sana, es comuniquen, es respecten, tot bé! Ja veurem si la continuo perquè veig que ja està acabada.

'The light novel protagonist with the gyaru girlfriend?'
Not Suzuki and Tani being the no miscommunication in our house couple and they're just teenagers. Also, the way both of them keep arriving early to their dates ajdlf so cute
My favorite chapter is easily the first about Suzuki's convenience store snack run on a summer night, such immaculate vibes. Suzuki, in her old middle school clothes, doesn't expect to run into Tani but is a-okay with running into her classmates that she's also known way longer. I get her wanting to be herself but not being ready to be herself that much, but of course, the universe has other plans and she ends up running into Tani after all. They have a sweet moment about it, though as Suzuki doesn't want to give off wrong vibes and Tani gets envious of the others knowing her longer.
Tani and Suzuki end up at home during one of their dates and it was adorable the way she introduced herself to Tempura, their cat. Also, not the grandma catching them in each other's arms LOL.
As much as I'm not a fan of the way peers sometimes pressure two friends to date so much that they end up dating because of it, it provided a lot of insight here with Suzuki and Ri (who is hot, yes) being awkward as hell about it and Tani finding it he's not okay with an aspect of it. Suzuki going off on a tangent about being 'pure' was hilarious, though but I loved that they talked it out at the end.
There are also a couple of chapters focusing on a new character, Nisshi, who's extremely shy and has a tendency of bursting into laughter at inopportune times that Yamada ends up finding crush worthy. It's interesting to see that Suzuki and Tani aren't the only kind of polar opposites in this manga and we get to see their classmates.
The art remains fun and light and I love the incorporation of chibi art especially when it comes to Suzuki.

Tani and Miyo!!!!
These two are just so cute!!!! I love the whole gamut of characters who are rooting for them. Also really refreshing that they actually communicate lol! Like nothing gets swept under the rug or anyone over reacts and just states how they're feeling. Love it!!!

I'm really enjoying this so far. I'm also really liked the discussion of past relationships and dating history. Love that it's very funny and god easy to read cart. Wait for the next volume.

I really like how we can explore the lives of the side characters, too. I love learning more about them!

This is a librarian review.
I work in a middle school, and as most of us know, looking for age-appropriate manga for any children below the high school / YA ages is SO difficult. Mainly because our professional sources never review manga and so we have to read them ourselves to vet them... Which can be difficult with the barriers we may have obtaining them without purchasing them. So I've read through 2 of this series and here are my thoughts!
So far, this has been a great series. There are no illustrations that could be considered sexual or inappropriate like so many other series. Characters are considerate of each other and don't speak of each other with sexual comments or innuendos. This is a very cute, innocent romance series from what I've seen so far. I don't really even remember any harsh language.
The only thing that bothered me was a choice of words in the second volume on one page. The boy finds out she had a previous "boyfriend" in middle school (it didn't really become a thing) and gets a bit jealous and leaves for a bit to reflect on it. The girl feels guilty for not telling him but also has a section with a friend essentially debating on whether it should matter is past relationships are important as long as they are faithful in the current relationship. Great message! Except for the section where she says "Even if I'd slept with a hundred other people..." to which her friend reiterates "Slept with??". Any other word would have been more appropriate, such as 'gone out with' or been with' or something, so that was unfortunate. However, that is the only little 'red flag' I saw in this series so far.
Perfect for high school. Might be ok for middle school. So far teaches great lessons about healthy relationships and is actually pretty funny in a wholesome way.

Tani and Suzuki are off to a great start to their romantic relationship (even if they're both a little awkward), but they are not the only opposite couples that are in this story.
Yamada is interested in a socially awkward introvert from the next class over. And despite him being obvious, she's oblivious. And nothing has actually happened yet, but I get the feeling that Taira is going to end up with Azuma.
But I do like that the story allows Tani's feeling to be complicated. Because that's something I struggle with too. Having emotions along with a rational brain means you end up working through your emotions mentally and can even come to the conclusion that what you're feeling doesn't make sense. But it does absolutely nothing to stop the feelings from happening so you get stuck in a spiral of "I feel this way" but "I shouldn't feel this way" and "Why do I feel this way?" and it helps to have someone just to listen (and sometimes force you to confront the root cause of the issue).

I still immensely enjoyed this volume. There were soooo many cute moments. The fireworks. The study session. But besides that, there was more of the side characters too.
Yamada gets a lot more page time and we see what he's really about. I liked his character a lot in the first one, but so much more in this one.
We also get 2 new characters and I really hope Nisshi develops more, which I think she will.
Taira right now is definitely the drag. His character is very one dimensional while all the side characters have personality. I understand he's the "downer" of the group but I'm ready for his development.
I think my favorite was getting more from Tani's point of view. I seriously love him and Suzuki so much!

I'm really enjoying these new manga titles that are more about healthy relationships than the drama. Polar Opposites does that while throwing in some good laughs. In volume 2 we get hints on what may be a new couple from our cast, or at least they're working on getting to know each other. I look forward to reading the next volume. (I received a free ARC from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.)
August 21, 2024
Aww they're so cute. I like them falling in love and enjoying themselves, but getting too self-conscious of how much they're enjoying themselves and worrying whether they're supposed to be having that much fun. And I like that at the end they went into 'dating history' and previous relationships (or lack-thereof), it felt like a necessary hurdle to go through especially with how insecure about himself Tani can be.

I’ll be honest I could really remember the first volume but it wasn’t hard to jump back in. I just love high school romance manga where there is a friendship group and we learn a little about the friends as we follow the main characters. I like the art. The main couple is so cute. They really like each other.
July 24, 2024
Still super cute and definitely has my attention to read more volumes! I liked that we expanded into some of the other characters and got their POVs outside of the main couple. I also really liked the discussion of past relationships and dating history. It continues to be a funny and easy to digest read and very light-hearted.

Good volume, kicking my feet and shi
Like honestly I love that it is starting to show like the issues associated with relationships and the fixes as well as the whole growth into thier private life with the family stuff. Also the background romance is romancing...
