Hitting Rewind With You 3

Hitting Rewind With You 3 by Hanamaru Kira

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


It takes nearly the entire volume, but we do finally get some resolution between these two putting them on the same path, not that it seems to have really changed much between them other than an official label. This is even more obvious given their outings together and the interactions with their friends and family over the holidays. It's a really good thing that Fumito is okay with Wakaba's own oddities and is willing to roll with all the costume changes considering how they keep falling into their laps rather literally. Maybe things will change now that they're on the same page, or maybe they'll keep going the same way they have been, just a little more secure in their standing. Will have to see how things roll with this slow burn (very slow burn).

This series continues to surprise. Every time you think they are on the same page and admitting they're on a date, something happens and they end up back tracking like they're still just hanging out or not really a couple. For all of their time together and frequent compliments (or in Wakaba's case, fangirling), there's a lot of uncertainty. It seems fairly clear Fumito wouldn't go along with something like this for just anyone though, and he does find some enjoyment out of their time together if even his friends are commenting on it. The group date where they end up getting hazed is also hysterical, though fortunately at least Wakaba's friends seem to be onboard the ship and happy to help out where Fumito's friends are more of pests inserting themselves wherever they can. The progression from their "fetish" dates to "normal" dates is also amusing, especially as they seem to get thrown into cosplay even when they aren't trying to, and then when they do manage to keep their clothes on, they both of those pre-date butterflies making them overdo it all and hoping for the best. Maybe eventually they'll manage to figure things out.

Wasn't sure what to expect from this one, but it looked interesting and caught my eye as one of the recommended reads at Powell's. Wakaba and Fumito both end up out on Halloween in their old high school uniforms when they first run into each other - or more like Fumito saves Wakaba from a potentially dangerous, if not at least creepy, situation. Oddly, the day seems to go really well, and their interests align enough that Fumito is willing to go along with Wakaba's odd desire to relive their youth in their uniforms. The lines start blurring though as Fumito seems way too charming for his own good, and Wakaba internally is panicking over wanting this to last forever and thinking it must end eventually. It'll be interesting to see how things develop after this unusual meeting and agreement between the two.
