Manga Review: Love at Fourteen, Volume 6, by Fuka Mizutani


Rating (Out of 5): ~3.5
Publisher: Yen Press
Release Date: 2017
Volumes: 9+
Spoilers?: No.
Volume: 1. 5. 7.

Goodreads Synopsis:

As Class 2-B makes landfall in Kyoto, everyone's talking about who's going to confess to whom. This prompts Kanata to realize that despite their developing romance, Kazuki's never actually told her how he feels about her. There's love in the air, but for Kanata and Kazuki, will this momentous confession--if it ever comes-just be too little, too late?

Review:

They finish up their class trip in this volume. Kanata and Kazuki have to figure out ways to meet without anyone noticing, and subtle, hidden ways to touch or share things without being figured out. They end up meeting in the middle of the night, but they're both a little influenced by the talk in their shared rooms—talk of love, and breasts.
When they get back, it's school festival time, and Hinohara tells Nagai that he's going to sing at it. It's a battle of wills and hidden intentions between them leading up to it, as we figure out whether Nagai will go through with it or not.
In the latter half of the volume, Kanata discovers that she's gained weight. This was handled okay, and I did like that in the end she realizes it's okay, and even enjoys the current height difference between her and Kazuki. This is always a touchy subject, and while it could have been pushed more, I didn't think this series would make that a message anyway.
It's been a while since I've read this series, and this was a good way to get back into it, I think.
