About this deal

dialogue was taxing to read, i skipped to the ending, and it doesn't really leave you satisfied, unlike tsurezure biyori. The actual focus on 'adulthood' as a theme of the book, what signifies it, and the expectations of society and ourselves for when we're 'grown up' is definitely going to make the series more relatable for an older audience. We don't get an exact age for Takebe, but she's old enough that all of her former friends are married with children now. The listless ennui of being at that supposedly same stage of life, but with none of the alleged achievements of such societal maturity, is captured in a very matter-of-fact way. This is hardly a story of melancholy soul-searching, so instead the struggles of the earnestly meat-headed Takebe are played for dry comedy. The girl has no idea what to do with herself, so all she can do is base her ambitions off the surface-level societal signifiers of her peers, regardless of if those should apply to her or not.

At any rate, This isn't comedy at all, at least for me. Maybe I didn't get the jokes or whatsoever, but still, without the comedy this manga is really great. I personally think that this maybe just a typical cliche yuri manga, but it isn't. But Soramori is the one who tends to be funny, while Takebe just grumps and gets frustrated. She shows affection to her new partner in subtle ways, but there’s very little indication she’s ever particularly thrilled moment to moment. It took me 6 HOURS to read ONE MANGA that should have taken MAYBE a half hour tops, it was THAT BORING. I have no earthly clue how you can write a romance between two former delinquents and have it be THIS BORING. Neither of the main leads are interesting, the story itself isn't interesting, and the dialogue is barely average. The art is nice, but doesn't play up the absurdity of the situation and is just...there. Catch These Hands! Volume 1 Review • Anime UK News". Anime UK News. April 12, 2022 . Retrieved January 5, 2023.CATCH THESE HANDS v2 is about two dorks who care more about their partner than they're willing to admit. Soramori's emotions are easy to read, but she's incredibly shy when it comes to voicing her concerns (e.g., obsessing over what defines a "proper date"). Takebe is cool, casual, and just wants to get the point (but not before chomping into three scoops of ice cream). Two women who were rivals during their delinquent days reunite and end up dating. What follows is a cute slice of life slow-burn romance. No odié la historia, pero me da completamente igual la vida de la protagonista (Takabe, la de cabello oscuro). El estilo de dibujo en las portadas me gusta, pero no soy muy fan en la obra en sí, ya que se ven muy incómodas por algunas escenas en las que creo que faltó "movimiento", y aunque los personajes no se vean exageradamente jóvenes, me causa un poco de conflicto sus rostros tan infantiles, por decirlo asi.

de todo lo que pasa son mini citas que tienen, y aunque pudieron haber aprovechado cada una de ellas para contarnos muchísimas cosas, siento que se desperdiciaron en su mayoría, no nos contaban basicamente nada sobre sus vidas, dejaron muchas historias sueltas que pudieron rellenar momentos, y sobre todo, no sentí un avance romántico hacia Sasamori (la otra chica en la portada) de ninguna forma, y esto quizá porque se supone que Takabe es arromántica (aunque la descripción que dió coincidía más con ser asexual), pero no sentí ningún progreso o dudas importantes mientras se descubria, y al final se reducieron a unas vagas líneas con las que no identificabas qué era en realidad (arro. o ace) , siento sinceramente que todo ese problema es por la poca cantidad de expresiones faciales que tienen, podrian estar muriendose y no lo parecería; al final, siento que su relación es solo un tipo de dependencia, tal como la prota dice en un momento: se acostumbró tanto a estar con Sasa por las citas y sus charlas por chat cada día, agregando además que su vida es muy aburrida y no tiene nadie más con quien salir, que no tiene nada mejor que hacer, su día a día gira en torno a ella. That idea of being 'fine the way you are' persists with the storytelling throughout this volume. It's not about Takebe actually changing herself to what she thinks maturity should embody, nor is it even about her or Soramori changing themselves to appeal to each other. Hell, Soramori basically cons Takebe into their relationship in the first place (amazingly built up with a slowly revealed gag about the way Soramori 'accidentally' became an strong delinquent brawler and only continued because of the high-school crush on Takebe she developed). That might have the odd taste of coercion in a romantic relationship, except here it never feels like Soramori's actually exercising any overt pressure (you get the feeling she'd let Takebe off the hook if she even had the thought to ask) while Takebe simply comes off as too stubborn in her honorary principles to turn her down.

The characters themselves are pretty much great. All of the side characters didn't particularly stand out, but while some of them are forgettable after some chapters, they really support the story and the development of our main characters well. Ayako Takabe, a young woman in her early twenties, intends to leave behind her history as a delinquent leader in high school and reform her image. By chance she encounters her high-school rival, Kirara Soramori. Soramori reveals that she has had a long-standing crush on Takabe, and challenges her to a fight, on the condition that if she wins, she and Takabe will begin dating. I would say, however, that I didn’t like this volume as much as I did the first one. It was still fun and enjoyable, but it was missing a little something. I do like that we did get to see them going on different kinds of dates! I also enjoyed seeing Takebe starting to appreciate the time she spends with Soramori. It warms my heart. This means my favorite “dates” were the origami classes. Hey, Takebe is dour, did you know that? If the first volume hadn’t gotten that across, this one will really hammer it home a few more times as she and Soramori continue their somewhat different relationship. Also they’re gay.

Más cosas sobre sus vidas individuales (en qué trabajaba Takabe mientras transcurria la historia, y cómo se comportaba ahí), y sus familias (sobre todo de Sasa) I felt for Takebe: I remember being in middle school and wanting to change my clothes style in the hope I'd become more similar to my classmates and "friends," in a wasted effort to not be seen as different and be less lonely (and bullied). I, too, decided that dressing more feminine would transform me into someone I was meant to be. I remember being jealous when my friends would hang out together but without me, and not understanding what I was doing wrongYen Press Licenses 8 Manga, 4 Novels for February 2022".
