Something’s Wrong with Us, vol 4

Today’s post is on Something’s Wrong with Us, vol 4 by Natsumi Ando. It is 160 pages long and is published by Kodansha Comics. The cover is an illustration of Nao and Tsubaki. As it is the fourth in the series, you need to have read the first three volumes to understand the story. There is mild foul language, mild sexuality, and mild violence in this book. The intended reader is someone who likes shojo and horror manga. The story is told from third person close following the main character. There Be Spoilers Ahead. 

From the back of the book- Falling For You
In order to impress an esteemed client at a tea ceremony--where Kogetsuan's old master will be in attendance--Nao plans to help Tsubaki make the perfect wagashi. Before she can get started, however, Tsubaki injures his right hand while trying to protect her. He quietly confesses his love for her is true, but Nao is still torn on whether to tell him her real identity. Despite her reservations, Nao falls deeper into Tsubaki's inviting embrace... Then, on the day of the event, Nao runs into a familiar face who knows about what happened to her mother fifteen years ago.

Review- Nao is trying to get closer to Tsubaki by helping him get closer to his grandfather. So together they get a big client for the tea house. Her mother in law knows that Nao is not who she says and she is investigating her to try and regain control of Tsubaki. Tsubaki knows that he is lying about Nao’s mother but he refuses to think more deeply about why he is lying. Add in their intense sexual tension and Nao has a real problem on her hands. The plot just gets more intense as more and more of the character’s personal agendas come into play. Nao knows that she is playing a dangerous game and I am worried about her and Tsubaki. But man this plot just keeps pulling me back in and I want to know what really happened all those years ago. 

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