Hana ni Arashi 10 (はなにあらし)

September 22nd, 2022

High school is a weird time. So much is going on in your body, in your head, in your heart. It’s the last time to have fun as a kid, the first time to start building your life as an adult.

Nanoha and Chidori are trying to not be sad about having chosen schools that are distant from one another. They are having as much fun as they can – together and with friends. They are not thrilled to not be together in class for their final year, but they are finding ways to be together and to make time. It’s all really good. But…the future. It’s a thing that is sort of hanging over them. And there’s something else they’ve got on their minds….

They ask each other if it is time to tell their friends about the fact that they are a couple?

The thought makes them burst into flames of mortification, but…but…

They’ve come a long way, in small steps. At the beginning of this series I wasn’t actually convinced they were seeing each other. ^_^ Now, when they may have to be apart, at least for a while, there’s no doubt that they are. I can’t even call this a slow burn series, it’s more of a two girls together, growing up slowly series.  Nothing else has changed, really The art is a little bit tighter and the story telling feels more confident, but that could be because the characters have more confidence and maturity, as one does during high school.

Ratings:

Art – 7
Story – 7
Characters – 8
Yuri – 7
Service – 0 Thankfully

Overall – 7

The next volume, Volume 11 is the final one, and I definitely want to see this one through to the end. I kinda want to see them off on their way out of school into what we jokingly refer to as real life. ^_^
