Miku and Yukiya continue to push each other to admit their feelings.

This series is moving slowly. More character development in this volume.

Volume 3 of "I Want to End This Love Game" was cute as expected. There were no major developments, but our little not-so-couple spent a night together. There was also a little bit of jealousy going on in this volume. I really do hope they confess to each other soon!

This digital ARC was obtainable via NetGalley for an honest review.

The hijinks and laughs continue in vol. 3 of Love Game, but also: Wakana (little sister with front row seats to this game) has suffered enough. We also have a second couple in a similar standoff, and I'm undecided if they make our main couple look worse or better. Somehow I've gotten invested enough that I do look forward to the next volume.

I am adoring this series, it's beyond cute and funny. I like that we're starting to get more side characters with fleshed out personalities in this volume as well. The art is pretty, the plot moves along at a good pace, and I think the author does a great job of setting up their emotions and portraying why they like each other. I actively want to read the next volume and am very excited for its release.

This one was cuter. I'm really just here for the drama. I'm waiting for *that moment* because these two knuckleheads won't cave when they BOTH should. But I liked the side character love game.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for review.

Yukiya and Miku are still at it. This time though, they end up bringing their classmate into the drama! Not in the way you think, but she wants to learn how to play the Love Game with her own childhood friend! We see the expansion of the Love Game and Yukiya and Miku are still dueling their own battles by the end of the novel. It ends on an adorable cliffhanger though, so readers will be eager to find out what happens! 4/5 stars.

VIZ Media provided an early galley for review.

I have been on-board for this manga since the start. I like the way Domoto has been exploring the beginnings of a young love; taking things at a slow pace but still infusing the story with that tension of longing and desire. There are many multiple panel sequences in this volume where the characters have longing looks that seem to strech on for a long time, but in reality are likely just brief. It is what young love/infatuation is all about.

I liked the introduction of the second-year student council character and her own budding love with her childhood friend. It provides both a counterpoint to Yuki and Miku's game while also giving them others to compare their own game to. It really shows that everyone struggles with these feelings and emotions at some point or another.
