Sasameki Koto - Vol. 9 Ch. 53 - I Love You

[notEkwal]

Enjoyed it though there were times where it felt like a page was missing. The end felt like a sprint with stuff happening all over. Would have enjoyed a bit of romance rather than falling in love story but what can one do.

I liked it. But it lasted too long. The side characters were chronically underused, and I believe giving them more spotlight at the end could have significantly improved the overall story.

I really love it, i was pretty long without much reason, and it messed up various important parts (cough cough flashback confession cough), but the thing that i like overcome it.
The comedy that it handle is amazing, i was laughing so much, the little details that makes every scene a lot better, the group of characters is so good, the many more that keep appearing the most i was looking for what were they going to do, and the emotional parts were so touching (even if there was so many of them because of the manga leng).
At last we got a sweet end for everyone.
The humor its gonna tempting me to re-read it in the future

I’m kinda good with the conclusion. But there was way too much in the middle that just dragged out the story. My honest opinion is that this was a very padded out one shot that got a serialization and therefore filler.

I could honestly have read the first chapter/volume and last chapter and been perfectly content. I will go back to the start to make recommendations for those who are starting out.

This is available in English now in 3 volumes. At least the first is available and the last 2 are available for pre-order.

As far as endings go, this definitely counts as a success. The blackboard at the end of the last chapter and the "Sumi-chan is the cutest girl there is" panel in this final chapter are really high payoff for me. The latter is nothing special drawing-wise but really brings the feels given the backstory.

There were some pacing problems at times but I'd rather that than an unsatisfying ending, which is too often how series conclude. It seems like the longer a series goes, the harder it is to keep everyone satisfied for the duration. Overall, I was really satisfied with this, as a binge read anyway.

This manga gave me so much anxiety just reading it. Good stuff.

Also wth, my native language appeared in this translation. That was out of left field.

Noooo Lotte I thought she was gonna stay smol forever 😭

Hip hip hurrayyy im so fucking happy for these two, Sumi and Ushi I wish u two the best

Alas, like most romance typa shi they dont show more of the journey and days they spent after officially being together. Tho I guess the previous chapters had enough fluff of them. Oh well, I hope Sasameki Koto isn't so niche as to not have fanfics and doujins to slake my thirst.

I.. have some points of confusion. Yeah, the cute and fluffiness is really well done. Very adorable and heartfelt.. But where is she going so far away to??? It was vaguely mentioned a few times, and it is supposed to be a big deal on page 12, but... they aren't actually saying anything? It reads more like, "High school is over, so we can't do high school things," which is beat to death in anime and manga.

Then page 15 with, "I wish I realized it sooner..." and I can't help but point out the over 1 1/2 years time skip. You realized it then but then weren't even official the whole time (as last chapter pointed out on page 15)?

I... While this is a very good work that was very enjoyable, it is a very flawed work. It had some high highs and some low lows, that's for sure.
