While the first omnibus was an enjoyable slice of life story, it didn't feel like much happened until near the end despite time moving forward at a snappy pace I think more time passed in the first three volumes than all sixteen of Kimi ni Todoke. But here things start to happen -- Sasahara takes over as club president, Saki mellows out, Ohno and Tanaka start dating, two new members join, the club makes their own manga and gets a booth at Comiket, and The series really picks up the pace here. But here things start to happen -- Sasahara takes over as club president, Saki mellows out, Ohno and Tanaka start dating, two new members join, the club makes their own manga and gets a booth at Comiket, and Madarame deals with his pending graduation.
The real highlight of the series is how Saki's come to accept the club members for what they are. You no longer have the feeling that she's only there because Kousaka's there -- in fact, she seems to be in the club room more than he is. Now she's hanging out with the guys because she likes them -- the chapter where she gets annoyed at Madarame for not coming over to talk to her when she's with friends is especially sweet -- and even takes an interest in their personal lives.
The only drawback to the series is that its quick pace means everything is constantly changing. New members come in and the old leave. By the end of volume six, everyone who was in the club when Sasahara and Kousaka joined has graduated, and it won't be long before they and Saki move on. Sep 28, Sarah Lu rated it it was amazing Shelves: This book really helped me get out of the art funk that I've been recently, especially with the group putting together their own doujinshi to sell at the Summer Comic-Fest. This volume introduces a couple of new characters, and sees three of the old characters graduate.
I like how time actually moves in this series instead of making the characters seem to repeat the same year over and over again. It will be interesting to see if in the next volume there will be any new members.
