Adachi and Shimamura are now in their second year of high school. Luckily, they’re in the same class this semester, but when Adachi sees Shimamura making friends with their new classmates so quickly, she starts to panic. Feeling left out, she begins distancing herself from Shimamura, who can’t help but notice that Adachi’s been on her mind a whole lot these days…

Review of 'Adachi and Shimamura, Vol. 4 (manga)' on 'Storygraph'

3 stars

Wow, Hougatsu's been so annoying with her apathy the whole volume, making me want this rate 2 or 3 stars at most, but then the last chapter was so cute and much more lively that 3 stars feel way too few. Oof, author, why.

Been a while since I've read volume 3, but I'm pretty sure Hougatsu wasn't that apathetic the previous volumes, right? More and more it feels like she's becoming an empty shell.

And poor Sakura. She's really trying her best, also with overcoming her social anxiety. Yet there's so many signs that Hougatsu doesn't see more than a little sister that needs to be cared for.
It also hurts cause their relationship more and more reminds me of a friendship I had. I was similar to Adachi, I hadn't seen the signs before it was too late, which still eats at me now, years later.

I hope …

I hope she's gonna be okay, but I feel like she's gonna overflow with that newfound courage, so much that she's gonna pass out or something.

Overall there was barely any progress, much more of a low, but the last 2 chapters seemed promising. As it is always. Can't really see where the author plans on going with them, but I'll continue anyways.
