Hana-Kimi, Volume 4 Book

Time for a sports/culture festival! Also included is a short story I wasn't a fan of.


Mizuki will be experiencing her first sport/cultural festival, though I am not sure if she is prepared for the craziness that will happen at this school. Whereas other schools may be a bit tame, this one goes all out. The wining dorm can win some amazing prizes including cash.

Sadly, people are trying to get rid of Mizuki (she is an amazing runner) and I wasn't amused with that. The reason why is because of how they did it. Violence, throwing heavy stuff. I get you are worried about losing, but this is not the way to win.

I loved that there was a competition to crossdress (though I guess for Mizuki it would just be being a girl again. :P) and I loved seeing how some guys looked great as girls… and how some just looked like a guy with a wig on. Teehee. Nanba is definitely awesome at it… Nakatsu just looks weird.

Also for a doctor you should know how big and tiny boobs look, but apparently he doesn't. Io definitely doesn't have small boobs, and given that Mizuki needs a new binder to keep her boobs in she also doesn't have small ones. I did love that Io made a new binder/vest for Mizuki so she wouldn't faint/be in pain.

The short story included wasn't a favourite from the start, but then it just got worse when we found out certain details about Yue… And then saw the reaction of our MC to that. EWW. No thank you. That is a hard pass for me. I don't care that the characters are almost adults, that is just a topic that is a very hard NO. Oh yes, also a trigger warning for attempted sexual assault (it is a wonder Yue was in the neighbourhood… or else).

All in all, I can't wait to see how the competition will end. I am definitely going to be reading. Still got a few volumes left on my shelf, after that I have to see if I can buy the rest online.
