Let the games begin! Since childhood, Yukiya Asagi and Miku Sakura have played the Love Game, where they try to fluster each other with a simple “I love you.” But after falling in love for real and refusing to admit it, neither of them can afford to lose this battle!
At long last, Miku and Yukiya spend the night under one roof. Their last sleepover was years ago, and their relationship has changed since then. Under the pretense of the Love Game, they both make bold moves to test the limits of their physical intimacy. But just how far will they go to claim victory?
I Want to End This Love Game vol. 3 by Yuki Domoto will be released on August 13, 2024. VIZ Media provided an early galley for review.
I have been on-board for this manga since the start. I like the way Domoto has been exploring the beginnings of a young love; taking things at a slow pace but still infusing the story with that tension of longing and desire. There are many multiple panel sequences in this volume where the characters have longing looks that seem to strech on for a long time, but in reality are likely just brief. It is what young love/infatuation is all about.
I liked the introduction of the second year student council character and her own budding love with her childhood friend. It provides both a counterpoint to Yuki and Miku's game while also giving them others to compare their own game to. It really shows that everyone struggles with these feelings and emotions at some point or another.
