Goodreads Synopsis:
"Mei Tachibana has no
friends—and she doesn't need them! Ever since her ""friends"" betrayed
her in elementary school, she's sworn off friendship entirely. All it
leads to is betrayal and heartbreak, and she's well enough on her own.
But everything changes when she accidentally roundhouse kicks the most
popular boy in school! However, Yamato Kurosawa isn't angry in the
slightest—in fact, he thinks his ordinary life could use an unusual girl
like Mei! He won't take no for an answer, and soon Mei and Yamato
embark on an unwanted friendship that will change both of them
forever.Praise for the anime: ""Surprises with its honesty, its
sensitivity, its quality. Always it is smarter, more poetic, more
touching, just plain better than you think it is going to be."" —Anime
News Network"
Review:
Reminiscent
of the beginning of the series when Mei first made friends, the group
goes on a trip to the beach. Only this time, it’s not so awkward
and a lot more fun and carefree, with each of them paired off in a
couple. It’s sweet and relaxing, something all of them need. Mei
and Yamato are particularly adorable in this volume.
In
the background, we see Ren, and how he’s starting to form light
feelings for Mei. And then we get to see how Rin and Kai are doing.
Rin is a bright girl, dramatic and optimistic, but it’s obvious
that Kai doesn’t like her the way she likes him. Things aren’t
working out so well. We especially see it when Kai has scars and Rin
doesn’t quite know how to react. And now Megumi is back, a big
change from when she left, and with an older boyfriend.
I’m
still wondering what’s going to happen there. Other than that, it’s
nice to see them all growing up.
