Gather 春待つ僕ら 4 [Haru Matsu Bokura 4] (Waiting For Spring, #4) Written By Anashin File
much basketball and AYACHAN!! This love triangle will be the death of me!, cant type must read more now,,./Stars/Towa and Kyosuke , Mitsuki is still too clueless for my taste,My only issue is one character because they dont understand what “no” means or respecting boundaries, Everything else is so cute and lovely expect that person! Yeah, I'm dropping this, I can't stand Aya as a love interest and I couldn't care less who Mitsuki ends up with, And if I don't care who the main character ends up with in a ROMANCE manga, then obviously there's no point in continuing, Sadly think I've gotten too old for the "boys fight over the girl and ignore the wishes of the girl" trope, This series is mostly fluff but it's good fluff and I love it, The plot in this was really good, I liked seeing more of the games especially with Aya, Seeing Aya more is great because it helps make Towa realize his feelings, And the outcome of the tournament was surprising at first but brings great tension between Towa and Aya, But I would say the plot was slightly slow in this, The continued character development is great and I look forward to seeing more of their growth, High leaning towards.

Mitsuki is a shy and socially awkward girl who struggled to make friends in middle school, Now as she enters high school she vows to make an ultimate friend! Towa, Kyosuke, Ryuji and Rui are the of the boys' basketball team and not what she was looking for, but after a huge misunderstanding they befriend Mitsuki.
. . whether she wants them to or not! Add in an odd girl with her own ideas about this foursome and a longhaired guy who could give beauty queens a run for their money and we have Mitsuki's new high school life!
This is a review of volumeswhich I read together back to back.
See the plot section for my thoughts on the individual volumes,
Waiting for Spring volis about the end of the boy's basketball season, They go up for the semifinals in their bracket, . . these are very important games and Mitsuki wants to support them, Particularly Towa who has shared how important basketball is to him, She is such a nervous Nelly wondering what she can do for him that it makes for some pretty funny situations, Aya isn't giving up either, . . he had a connection just as deep with Mitsuki at one point, By the end we find that Mitsuki stills feels for him as well, . . we just don't know if its romantically as he wants, We also have the group come together for some fun time! I love these group sessions, it makes for some real high school life!
In volumewe meet a new girl Maki Sudo, who is also in basketball but for the girls.
She befriends Mitsuki and its actually a double edged sword that adds a lot of tension, Kyosuke plays a large role as he's witness to a little interaction between Mitsuki and Aya, He, more than anyone, realizes how Towa and Mitsuki feel about one another and he really enjoys pressing their buttons, Between these two events both Towa and Mitsuki are feeling really uncertain about what they mean to the other,
Then in volumeAya and Reina meet for the first time, Let's just say that there are fireworks that makes things tense for Mitsuki! Towa and Aya also throw down some words as they will be meeting on the court if all goes well.
Aya with his experience and obvious skill has some choice things to say about that and you start to worry that like any sports commentator worth his salt he may be right.
I figured that we would get some upbeat group fun next and wasn't expecting Towa to get so aggressive with Mitsuki, . . and neither did his friends!
Really the excitement in Waiting for Spring volwas super high and fun,
The moments between Towa and Mitsuki though are so subtle and breathtaking, It really is nuanced with the pains of young, new love, Little advances and tiny setbacks all work together to give us this budding love in Waiting for Spring vol, My favorite moment from volis when Mitsuki's wish comes true! I didn't even think about the implications of her wish until that moment, . . it was super fun and I felt my heart beating right along with her, In volit has to be the bathing suit realization! Both Towa and Mitsuki go there and can't handle what they imagine,
The visuals shine when the boys are on the court playing basketball! I felt the tension and the power of the crowd and events on the court.
At the end of the games the art brought the boy's efforts and the score to a resounding crescendo, I also really enjoy the moments they are together as a group, in the cafe or out having fun, it didn't matter, Anashin sure knows how to bring a group together on the page, It's one of the best and most fun
aspects of Waiting For Spring! This is about young love but its also about friendship and being in high school too.
Waiting for Spring volis the next natural step in a sports romance that is slow burn with a love triangle that makes total sense plus a coming of age where friends, a sports passion and an awkward girl combine for a shoujo manga that is fun and full of unexpected depth!! I will TOTALLY be checking out volnext and see if Mitsuki can get Towa to take things to the next level.

Its beautiful fluff Second Read: JanuaryFirst Read: May
I want to be KDrama/Anime wall slammed.
yes yes yessss. is my ship sailing honestly it sure, but theyre thriving so thats all i need to be happy, Este manga comenzó super lindo pero hace mucho que no pasa nada, En este tomo tenemos lindos dibujos, sí, pero cero evolución de trama y un romance tan lento que parece ir en retroceso, THIS IS ACTUALLY SO FREAKING GOOD GONNA HAVE THE WORST WITHDRAWLS ONCE I FINISH/ Bueno, en este volumen no pasó mucho, pero igual la estoy pasando re bien gente qué decirles.
deestrellas. CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE/stars,
Honestly I really like this series, This volume focuses on the basketball team since they are playing the tournament to go to the Inter high, Mitsuki is determined to cheer them up and Reina Chan is still taking a lot of pictures, Aya is there and he wants mitsuki to cheer for him as well, He thinks towas team is weak and once they lose their two they are unable to win, However, Mitsuki wants them to win, In the end she sees Aya playing and hes great where it matters, He is a good player and hes all grown up and now hes back and people love him, Her team is still playing and they have anpoint lead but thats nothing in basketball, Ryuji intercepts the ball and towa scores and he was kind of aggressive and great, The other team has the player numberwho just got out to the court and hes fresh, Ryuji wants to play still, The captain gave them a speech and hes happy to be there and that worked better than Nanachan drinks, However he gets injured and they lose, Mitsuki is crying and Reina is fully sobbing but she goes out to see Towa, Ryuji went to the hospital and it might be a pulled muscle, Mitsuki is crying because she got really worked up and she wanted them to win, Towa promises that he will get stronger and better and shes determined to do the same, They hug and aya sees them, He is surprised that Towa isnt crying after that game, and maybe he underestimated him, After the tournament Towa is training really hard and hes late for class, The girls team also lost and one of them was really sad for her senpai and they were crying as well, She asks about Towa but hes late to clase, They dont eat together in the roof anymore because ryiuji is still injured and he eats at his classroom with the guys, Reina Chan brings some pictures and it was creepy but lowkey funny Things are different, and Mitsuki wants to talk with Towa but she doesnt know how to.
Nanachan tells her that in those cases, she should act normal because thats what they need, The guys are back at the café but Towa will be late because he went to the doctor with Ryuji, They send him because he was training so hard and he needs to rest, Later on, he arrives without Ryuji, It was a pulled muscle and he would be able to train the week after the next, He didnt go to the café as a punishment, When they were back at youth basketball they lost a game and Ryuji said he wouldnt play video games or read comics anymore because he needs that time to train.
If he wants to be good at basketball he needs to take it seriously and he doesnt want to lose, Neither do the guys but one of them doesnt want to give up video games and comics, In the end Ryuji went back to do those things, but as a punishment he would train harder and he got much better, The guys saw his evolution and they started training as well and they got to see each other a lot, He might be back at the cafe but after that lost they dont know, They need to focus on getting better and practice more as individuals, Mitsuki is happy to see that they are good friends and they have each other, Towa tells her he wont make her cry ever again and Ryuji is there with Nanachan, He didnt last a day and he thinks that if he indulges in seeing her, he would have to train harder than before, Also now that the tournament is over they can meet together and they want Mitsuki to be there, otherwise it wont be the same, She has to pick the place and Reina Chan wants to go to the beach to see the guys in a BATB suit, Mitsuki thinks its too early but Nanachan thinks its a good idea, They have exams coming and Mitsuki wants to avoid summer school so she can hang out with the guys, but shes thinking about where they should go.
Once they are done they talk but aya calls her, Hes gonna start the Inter high camp soon and he wanted to hear her voice, She was in the middle of a discussion with the basketball team about where to go and he wants Mitsuki to go on a date with him, just the two of them.
She is not sure about it but theyll talk, Towa goes out to talk to her because he wants to know her opinion about the meeting, Ryuji didnt like the beach or the water park idea because Nanachan will wear a bikini and the guys start teasing him, One of them teases Towa with Mitsuki and the bikini and in the end, he votes against it, Mitsuki read an article about lucky charms and romantic spots at the theme park and she tells Towa about her idea, They all end up at the park together and Mitsuki is determined to confess her feelings to Towa, She wants to spend more time with him, She wants to be with him and go home with him and she knew it for a really long time, She thinks maybe at the Ferris wheel she will get the courage to say it but shes not sure, Rui and her get together at one of the lucky charms and hes grateful for her friendship because shes not like the other fangirls, Shes genuine about it. He thinks maybe in the future they could be a couple but he doesnt like her yet,
Honestly all of the volumes are really cute, I love how much Towa loves basketball, Its the thing that matters to him the most and hes genuinely happy when he plays, Mitsuki wants to get stronger for him and for herself and I love how shes always there for the guys, Aya is annoying. He is kind of possessive and full of himself, I get that the guy is amazing at basketball but hes always attacking Towa and Im not here for it, Theres a massive difference between the two of them and I like Towa better, I wish the other guys were more developed or that we could see more of them, Also I still think Reina Chan has a kink for the basketball team getting together and its kind of creepy, Also the setting of this one was really cool, The theme park and the lucky charms were cute and I laughed a lot every time Mitsuki had one with every guy but Towaand Ryuji.
Also I adore the friendship, How the guys always try to get Mitsuki to be comfortable and how they take into account what she wants and how much they want her to attend the meeting.
I think it was cute to see and it melted my hear,
I can not wait for the next volume, but aya is on the cover and I think hes gonna play a bigger role and Im not here for it.
