My Love Story!!, Vol. 9

Love how there was competition between Takeo and the new character!

I love how it elevated into competing for Rinko's love! I really HATE the baker! I mean, what kind of person tells another person that he should break up with his girlfriend so that he can have her?! But that's what made the story more interesting, right?! I do hope the baker gets punched at least once. Cannot wait to read what happens next!

I love it. The characters are wonderful. You can't help but cheer for them.

I love this series, it's absolutely adorable

Really like the cover on this one.

~4/5 (Contains light spoilers.) Surprisingly enough, the trouble with the new guy doesn’t blow over immediately. Yamato’s boss is clearly forming an infatuation for her, even going so far as to confront Takeo when he sees him. Takeo is already jealous and upset about this, and starts getting insecure, wondering if he’s not right for Yamato. Yamato doesn’t realize this is happening, and Suna is trying to help. It’s sad to see Takeo like this, especially when Yamato has no idea and it’s obvious she’s in love with him no matter who else comes along. Plus, it’s good for her to be learning all this pastry-making things. And they’re just so cute together, I love these sweet, innocent moments we get between them. This series is just so sweet, and I look forward to seeing how this plot wraps up next time. A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!

Great series. Doesn't disappoint.

I would never have expected to have a love rival make an appearance so late in a series, but here we are, and surprisingly it works well! While I have ZERO worries that this love rival even has a chance, it was really interesting reading this volume because Takeo has to face his own feelings, and because of that, we don't see him have as many humorous expressions. Like Suna, I never thought Takeo would ever feel insecure like we saw shown in this volume, and as a result, I didn't realize Takeo is one of those characters that needs to be in the "must be protected at all cost" group despite how buff and manly he is. (I had to laugh when says he's a man and Ai is like it must be awful being a man! LOL!! Out of context snippet of a conversation, but funny nonetheless!) Truly though, I didn't like seeing him sad for so much of this volume, which definitely made me all the more thankful that Sunakawa was by his side! He is SUCH an amazing best friend! I love how he's always by Takeo's side and encourages him by just being there. Suna also gives those brief nudges of encouragement that are spoken at just the right time which left me thankful Takeo wasn't quite as down because of it. I really continue to love Suna's character so so so much. I LOVED the bonus chapter! It was nice that it was a humorous one and picked up the mood a little bit, despite that this was a VERY good volume that had some good character growth! Rooting for our main couple and that all works out well in the next volume! <3

Great manga.
