Ao Haru Ride, Vol. 9

Confusion, hesitation, misunderstandings, missed chances, holding back, making decisions too slowly, longing, daydreams, and more collide in this volume! Seems like everyone either has their heart broken, or will be very soon. This series is one great teen soap opera. I am absolutely loving it. Art, gorgeous! I can't say enough how mysterious & beautiful the girls look. Their eyes are amazing! The boys are all handsome, too. Dialogue, full of teen angst. Sure to tug at any reader's heart strings. Characters, believable, likeable, loveable, admirable, relatable, adorable, & just plain cute!

really cute series , it’s a school romance and I enjoyed seeing the characters grow as people

The story is deeply emotional, a slice-of-life. It might seem this is just a simple high school love story. But it shows grief, friendship, hardships and making memories. It shows we have to live in the moment and let go of the past. Time heals. Besides the story, the art is mesmerizing, I have yet to see another manga with characters drawn so beautifully. Best shoujo manga you will ever read.

I love this Manga, I've actually read it already. 5 years ago to be honest. It's insane that's its just now available to purchase 0_o. Either way its a great read and I don't mind supporting. Can't wait for the rest to become available. (currently starting a mini Manga collection) 😊

The volume came in a timely manner! It came without any bends, tears, or water damage! I find it a little more challenging to purchase this manga series in person so I was very pleased to find it online for such a great price! If you like high school love stories with amazing artworks you will most likely enjoy Io Sakisaka’s works! I recommend ordering manga from this seller! 10/10!

I'm currently on volume 7 of this book series. Seems very dramatic and surprising with the characters. I can't wait until I read this volume.

Love these books

This current storyline is not a favorite of mine. Kikuchi is too needy, too insecure, too pitiful. He bugs me on deep levels. Yet I can relate all too well with Kou's hesitation. However, the artwork is very solid in this volume. There are quite lovely touches all throughout. Sakisaka has a beautiful line quality when drawing faces. There is much growth in the secondary characters in this volume. Overall, it's quite excellent. I just wish I liked the current romance more.
