oh my god i BET shohei didn't "accidentally" text the wrong group chat at all. i'm guessing that he knows saku doesn't like surprises so he wanted to make sure he was in on everything and had a level of control over any birthday festivities. shohei is definitely the blunt one who speaks before thinking, but this really shows that he can be quietly considerate at the same time. what a sweetheart!!!!

shohei never fails to put the biggest smile on my face he is such a lovable idiot. big reki vibes

AND EVERYONE CHEERED LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO MORE SAKU LORE PLEASE AND THANK YOU

the subaru-shohei tag team to embarrass rintaro and kaoruko for being lovesick idiots is incredible i need more of this duo

oh my god rintaro i see you!!!!!!! this is your time to shine, y'all need to watch a horror movie together so she can get scared and grab onto you okay that's like textbook shit

so much of this manga feels like a celebration of the little kindnesses in life, how something so small can make someone's day and how having just ONE person believe in you can change everything. kaoruko getting so excited about having matching pens simply because it was something that rintaro picked out is the epitome of that

it's so adorable how open and honest they are with each other!! and they've always been like this, so it really feels like the natural progression of their relationship as it turns more romantic. i've loved getting more of kaoruko's perspective too since we're in rintaro's head most of the time!! she's usually so direct but she still gets just as nervous as he does

I LOVE THESE IDIOTS SO FUCKING MUCH IM GIGGLING AND KICKING MY FEET YET AGAIN
i'm also just now realizing that they're officially together and it's volume SIX. not even a THOUGHT of a kiss in sight, and yet somehow it doesn't feel like it's been dragging at all

rintaro is so real rn i would also like to scream at the top of my lungs into my pillow at the current state of events in this fucking manga

i am genuinely speechless my jaw is on the floor what do you MEAN it got even cuter. what do you MEAN the cake he made for her made her feel the same way that the cake did on the night they met???? and i also LOVE that rintaro doesn't remember cause kaoruko is so right that he would've done that for any stranger. it's just who he is, and i'm sure she witnessed it several more times before they spoke again

IM SORRY WHAT?????? WHAT IS THIS LORE???????? i knew she caught feelings first but oh my god

oh my god my heart is racing i feel clinically insane THE SPARKLER IMAGERY????? kaoruko lighting new ones when the old ones flicker out as she's talking about how they can hang out more and cherish their time together and that it doesn't have to end????? and THATS when rintaro confesses??????? i'm gonna freak out i'm already freaking out this volume might kill me

YES BITCH ASSERT YOUR OPINIONS HAVE SOME FUN TEAM UP WITH SHOHEI LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO oh subaru is so precious to me i love seeing her happy and feeling free for the first time

HE DID NOT- HE DID NOT FUCKING GET HER THE DONUTS OH MY GOD oh it's so happening but they're gonna have a good friendship base first it's gonna be a slow burn i cannot WAIT
it was already crazy that saku was the one to speak up first about already considering subaru a friend, but the donuts really sealed the fucking deal huh. more saku lore STAT i am begging

fuck this is way too real way too fucking real someone pull the plug i actually forgot how to read i think whoops too bad
subaru. subaru my love. seeing her on the edge of the water and taking the tiniest step back when everyone else is ankle-deep just broke my heart. and then the internal monologue about feeling like the odd one out who ruins the vibe?????? OUCH. i wonder if saku felt similarly at one point.....

OH??? IS IT STARTING?????? THEY BOTH LIKE DONUTS BUT LIE ABOUT IT SO THEY WONT BE A BOTHER OR MADE FUN OF oh i see the signs i see the vision!! it's instinct for both of them too, denying themselves something they want because of how other people might react. i understand subaru, but i'm so curious to learn more about saku and WHY he's so snarky. maybe he wants to get ahead of the joke so he's never the butt of it?

ah yes when being the snarky one goes too far!!! saku continues to be incredibly relatable and i love how yorita immediately sees through his shit and calls him out for it without being mean

they all look SO good oh my god the fits are insane

oh what the fuck why would those girls say all that about subaru when she's RIGHT THERE??? "i bet she's not even interested in boys all that much" how about it's none of your fucking business to speculate like that?? her reaction is so interesting too, i really wonder what she's thinking about that statement. i feel like maybe she HAS been so focused on kaoruko that she hasn't had room for other romantic feelings yet

PONYTAIL SAKU WEE WOO WEE WOO THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL GIVE ME MORE OF THAT IMMEDIATELY

okay so first of all keiichiro is hot and it simply must be noted (i'm so unprepared to see him in the anime god DAMN)
second of all, the level of sweetness has escalated to the point where i feel like i need to throw things!!!!!!! and i know it's about to get even worse now that they're in summer break!!!!!!!!!!

okay. subaru has continued to get better and better and i really think she's my favorite character, which is saying a lot considering i adore absolutely everyone in this. she and saku are top tier, and i am so excited to see her open up even more with everyone and slowly begin to accept their friendship cause ITS WHAT SHE DESERVES!!! also if she and saku really do become the b-couple i will lose my shit

KAORUKO IS KICKING HER FEET AND SO AM I
subaru is such an icon i love how good of a friend she is, and i cannot WAIT to see how the birthday goes

every time i think this can't get any sweeter, i get punched in the gut with the cutest shit i've ever seen. he's making her a cake????? and his dad dropped everything to teach him how even though he's EXHAUSTED??????? and his mom is happy to see them bonding and reminiscing about the early days of her relationship with her husband??????????? kill me actually

that dm from subaru genuinely got me cheering like my team won the super bowl
also that whole chapter had me tearing up again, it's just so SWEET but somehow not in the classic shojo way. it really does read more like a shonen (cause it is i know i know) which gives it such a different feeling that i wasn't expecting. the focus on friendship alongside the romance is really beautiful and heartwarming

secret competitive gremlin yorita i love you so
his convo with rintaro was so fucking sweet too, i love that each of the boys get their moment to shine when it makes the most sense for them individually. it doesn't feel like they're taking turns to be in the spotlight, it all feels so organic and natural

oh WOAH how cool to have unnamed side characters from both kikyo and chidori have moments where they express admiration for the other!! the seeds for connection and understanding are there, they just need to be nurtured

oh my god the day and night difference between the kikyo teacher's speech and the chidori teacher's speech????? i LOVED hearing tsukada tell the boys that although they're a bit wild, he trusts that they're good kids and that they should spend the summer making cherished memories, but then the immediate guilt trip and shaming from the kikyo teacher in comparison????? let these girls LIVE for fuck's sake oh my god

i too would be sulking if i had been tutoring my friends for a year and a half and they just NEVER mentioned the fact that i suck at explaining things. i wonder if there's more to saku's sulking, like him being disappointed in himself for not being able to help his friends after all, or if it's just a silly gag

saku is me i am saku
god i love this friend group i can't get over it
