Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight, Vol. 4

Today’s post is on Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight, Vol. 4 by Rin Mikimoto. It is 192 pages long and is published by Kodansha Comics. The cover has Kaede on it looking at Nana who is on the inside cover. As it is the fourth volume in the series, you need to have read the first three volumes in the series. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this volume. The intended reader is someone who likes shojo romance manga and the complications found in them. The story is told from third person close of mostly Nina but sometimes from other characters for plot development. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- LOVE’S FIRST KISS 

Kaede has set up a date to give Hinana her long-awaited first kiss, and the two of them enjoy a magical day at a theme park. But before they can share their promised kiss, a chance encounter with Akira brings unforeseen complications. Then, even more drama unfurls when Kaede’s ex-girlfriend catches wind of the fact that he is now dating someone else…!

Review- Nana and Kaede are getting closer as she learns more about him and his past. They are mostly apart in this volume as he is filming a new series with the new complication, his ex-girlfriend. She is an interesting character who I think will add more to the story than the normal ex storyline would. She has some real personality traits, other than being Kaede's ex and that gives her some depth. Kaede’s former bandmates, will be interesting to see more of, because I want to know what happened. Plus Nana’s friend is working up his nerve to ask her out. So all in all a very solid volume adding some good things to the overall plot and I’m looking forward to see what is going to happen 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.
