Manga Review: Waiting for Spring, Volume 8, by Anashin


Rating (Out of 5): ~4
Publisher: Kodansha Comics
Release Date: October 2018
Volumes: 11+
Spoilers?: No.
Volume: 1. 7. 9.

Goodreads Synopsis:

A sweet shojo story of a soft-spoken high school freshman and her quest to make friends, Waiting for Spring will delight fans of earnest, fun, and dramatic shojo like Kimi ni Todoke and Say I Love You.

Mizuki is a shy girl who's about to enter high school, and vows to open herself up to new friendships. Of course, the four stars of the boys' basketball team weren't exactly the friends she had in mind! Yet, when they drop by the café where she works, the five quickly hit it off. Soon she's been accidentally thrust into the spotlight, targeted by jealous girls. And will she expand her mission to include... love?

Review:

While not enough happens with the confession, there's still a change. We get to see the other guys' reactions, which I appreciate. Seeing them all sit together and discuss things is so sweet. And then there's Reina, as her BL dreams are crushed a little.
We get to see Towa in his element for most of this volume, as Mitsuki visits his home. We meet friends and neighbors, and get to hear some cute stories about him, and then Mitsuki finally meets his grandfather. It's all very sweet. Plus, there's lots of flirty moments, and some light touches. It's super cute and fluffy, and I love it.
Of course, there's also some stuff with Aya, but all I really care about is Towa. He's just so cute, I love it.
I just can't wait for more. I'm so glad these releases are so close.
