And with that title overload, this post is Stick a Fork in It! DONE!
Just kidding!
Street date: Between 6 and 8 August 2012, but as of yesterday, the 9th, still hadn't seen them. *tear*
Suki desu, Suzuki-kun!!, Suki desu ￮￮-kun!! ~Koi no Senryaku Note~ © Ikeyamada Go/Shogakukan [Sho-Comi Flower Comics, Sho-Comi Flower Note Book]. Published in Indonesia as I Love You, Suzuki Kun!! and I Love You, OO kun!! Love Plan Notes by PT Tiga Lancar Semesta/Tiga Lancar Comic (3L)
As if the much-awaited I Love You, Suzuki Kun!! 15 weren't already enough, 3L had to go and Special Edition it with the I Love You, OO kun!! Love Plan Notes book. :D "OO kun" here refers to your personal bishie, the one you lurve, your significant other, whatever. Because the one who determines your love story is YOO. I mean, you. You're supposed to write his name down, chronicle your everyday with him, and/or design your plan to GET! him if you haven't already. A sneak peek of the notebook/journal shows off the droolicious Ikeyamada Go art. :D (I Love You, Suzuki Kun!! 15 × I Love You, OO kun!! Love Plan Notes goes for IDR 40,000 a set.)
As for the identified fictional Suzuki-kun—it's Hikaru with Sayaka, Shinobu with Chihiro. (As though that weren't already evident as early as Book 1, lawlz.) Now that the couples are clear on their feelings, everything should be hearts and roses from this point on, right? Right??
Wrong. During a double date, Chihiro and Shinobu have a big fight. Sayaka feels increasingly uneasy because spiraling work commitments distance her from Hikaru, paving the way to misunderstandings. Even this late in the day.
Seventeen Suki desu, Suzuki-kun!! tanks have been published in Japan as of 26 July 2012. The finale volume 18 streets this 26 September. I'm sure that the series ends with volume 18 because how else am I supposed to interpret つに完結！！！！
(Tsuini kanketsu!!!!
)? :p
Reminding: I Love You, Suzuki kun!! is a [DEWASA]or for Mature audiences only title here, original shoujo affiliation notwithstanding.
Look for debuts Philter Teacher by Momono Miku and Power of Love by Fumikura Saki, both Betsucomi manga, after the jump.
