Today's post is on Waiting for Spring volume 4 by Anashin. It is 200 pages long and is published by Kodansha. The cover is blue with Ryuji on it. It is the fourth in her Waiting for Spring series and you need to have read the first three volumes to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who has read the first three volumes and likes sweet first love stories. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of the main character, Mitsuki. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- HOOP DREAMS
The preliminary games begin, and Towa and the squad are all fired up! Mitsuki's childhood best friend, Aya-chan, is also at the arena playing his best, and the stakes are high. As Mitsuki and Reina cheer on the Seiryo team, Mitsuki sees the boys sweep the floor and is inspired to work hard, too! But when a ref's whistle cuts through the air, a close friend lies injured on the court...
Review- We pick up right where we left off with Mitsuki trying to decide how to talk to Towa and where to go on summer break after the preliminaries are finished. Ryuji gets injured, nothing too serious, but more serious the boys team does not make it into the finals. They work hard but not enough. The boys are disheartened but Mitsuki saves the day and they go have fun bonding. This volume does not do much towards to the romance side of things but I still enjoyed it because I like the characters and the simple heart-felt plot. I look forward to reading the next one.
I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
