Takane & Hana, Vol. 6

Love it. Arrived fast

A gift for daughter highly satisfied

~4 Stars(Contains light spoilers.)The volume starts normal, with Christmas and then some friend drama. Of course, Takane goes over the top for Christmas, because he wants it to be special for Hana. And then we see how Nicola's flirty personality affects one of Hana's friends not-quite-as-intended.But then, in the latter half of the volume, Takane has to see his family for a get-together, which leads to a surprise turn of events for Takane. He gets thrown a curve-ball, in which he's going to have to experience life like a normal, poor person. My main issue with this idea, is that all of Takane's money and everything goes away, even what he has worked for himself. He wasn't given everything, he did actually do an important job for the company. But, I see the reason behind it—and, I do love seeing it humble Takane. It's a big difference to what he's used to, and despite how Hana has always reacted to his money and actions, he doesn't think she'll be okay with this version of himself.The facial expressions in this series are kind of epic. They're ridiculous, and often for humor, but done so well and so purposely, that I love them. The reactions between Hana and Takane, too, are great. They work to surprise each other, to pretend they don't feel as strongly as they do, but sometimes the surprises are just natural, like when they're honest with each other, as they are at the end of this volume.I'm really enjoying this series. It's grown on my to where I look forward to each volume, and I'm really interested to see what happens next with Takane.

My kids love this series and they are so easy for them to read in one sitting which is both good and bad. Good because yay they are reading and loving them and bad because, ouch on the wallet!

great read, cant wait to see where this series gos
