Takane & Hana, Vol. 3

Today’s post is on Takane & Hana, Vol. 3 by Yuki Shiwasu. It is 200 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. As it is the third in the series you need to have read the first two volumes to understand what is going on. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. The cover has Hana eating a tomato and Takane flailing in the background. The intended reader is someone who likes shojo manga, comedy manga, and interesting characters. The story is told mostly from Hana’s perspective with some from Takane at times. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Hana’s scores on her proficiency test are dismal, and everyone around her, including her teacher, blames her new love life! Hana adamantly denies that to be the cause and vows to study hard to do better on her finals. But when Takane storms in to tutor her, will his help actually prove to be more of a distraction? 

Review- More humor from these two idiots and I loved every minute of it. So we get lots of little stories in this volume from Hana having to study harder for her finals to Takane and his friend working out their issues. The humor has slowed down some in this volume as we are getting more character development moments in between the hilarity from Hana and Takane. They are learning more about each other and developing a strong friendship, in spite of how silly Takane can be. But he is growing from interacting with Hana, her family, and friends. I look forward to seeing where they are going next.

I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
