Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight, Vol. 3

Today’s post is on  Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight, Vol. 3 by Rin Mikimoto. It is 192 pages long and is published by Kodansha Comics. The cover has Hinana on it looking very cute. As it is the third in the series you need to have read the first two volumes to understand the story. There is some mild foul language, no sex, and no violence in this volume. The intended reader is someone who likes shojo romance, Cinderella-like stories, and humorous manga. The story is told from third person close of different characters moving as the story does. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Tangled up

As summer vacation nears, Hinana finds herself free of her usual babysitting responsibilities. But her best friends are busy with band practice and part-time work, so she’s finished all her summer assignments in just three days! With time to spare Hinana visit Kaede, and they make a promise that will bring them closer. Before the young couple can rejoice, vindictive friends from Kaede’s past return, and their grand scheme is to take what is most precious from the prince…

Review- We get some plot development in this volume with meeting some of Kaede’s old group members. They are very angry at Kaede for leaving the group but we, the readers, still don't know why he did leave the group. So to get back at him, one of them, Mitsuki, wants to mess with Hinana. Hiana is clueless about it but Kaede isn’t. I hope that plot point doesn’t last too long as I don’t like abusive story lines and Mitsuki, shown to be a self-centered idiot, would do that to hurt Kaede and not understand why what he did was wrong. But the volume ends with Hinana knowing more about Kaede and maybe will be more on her guard around his old group. I am curious about where the story is 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.
