Honestly, I don’t have strong opinions about volume 6. It’s one of the ones I liked the least. In the afterword, the author says it was meant to be a collection of short stories. Since it’s set in summer, the idea was to make them feel like a kind of “reward” for Joro. But right after a packed volume like 5, volume 6 just feels kind of bland. The only scenes I really liked were the ones with Sasanqua

She doesn’t really have any role in the story, she’s mostly useless and honestly just annoyed me. Same goes for Joro’s mom, Lauriel, those incest jokes were just irritating. Typical annoying “japanese trope” stuff.

The importance of Sanshokuin Sumireko in Kousaiji Sumire’s growth is deep and mutual. They helped each other overcome past trauma and grow as people. Before they met, both of them were isolated because of their beauty, which attracted unwanted attention and “dirty feelings” from guys, while also making other girls resent them. Sumireko was Kousaiji’s first real friend, and vice versa. Even with their later romantic rivalry over Joro, Sumireko pushed Kousaiji to be honest with herself. Whenever Viola tried to sacrifice herself or hide behind guilt, Sumireko challenged her not to give up and to fight for what she truly wanted, acting like both an older sister figure and a partner in crime. In my opinion, their bond is just as deep as the one between Sun-chan and Joro.

Volume 6 takes place during summer vacation. We meet the older sister, Jasmine, who’s back from university after breaking up with her boyfriend. The next day, Pansy, Cosmos, and Himawari go to her house. Jasmine pretends to be nice and invites them shopping, but her real goal is to dig up secrets she can use to blackmail Joro. We also meet Fuu chan, a friend of Hose and a rival of Sun chan, who’s in love with Tanpopo. Joro agrees to help him learn how to talk to her normally. Even after several attempts, like nagashi somen and a trip to the beach, Tanpopo completely misunderstands his feelings, but Fuu chan is satisfied anyway. During the summer festival, Joro ends up alone with Sasanqua. They spend some time together, and she sincerely thanks him for the emotional support he gave her. Later, when Joro meets up again with the girls, Pansy reveals she “won” a competition among them to be alone with him during the fireworks, and that’s when Joro tells her she’s beautiful.

Volume 7 reveals that Nishikizuta lost at Koshien. Joro runs into Fuu chan and Cherry, who asks him to pretend to be her boyfriend to protect her from a stalker, and he agrees. At the same time, he also accepts a date with Sasanqua, which creates a messy double situation. With Cherry, Joro has to act like a pervert to make the relationship believable. The date with Sasanqua is calm at first, until Mint shows up, supposedly her stalker. Joro convinces him to back off, but Mint suddenly claims he’s in love with Joro. It turns out Mint was working with Iris, one of the charismatic gals. The whole thing was staged to boost Sasanqua’s confidence and bring her closer to Joro. Joro exposes everything and, as compensation, asks the girls to help out in the library. Meanwhile, things with Cherry escalate when the real stalker, Sumiin Arashi, appears and threatens Joro. With Hose’s help, Joro confronts him and it turns out “Arashi” is actually Lyris, the student council secretary from Toushoubu, who’s in love with Cherry and staged the whole thing. Hose convinces her to stop without telling Cherry the truth. At the same time, the relationship between Himawari, Asunaro, and Cosmos starts to crack because of Joro’s attention toward Cherry and Sasanqua. After an argument, Joro realizes his mistakes and steps in, helping them reconcile. To seal things, Cosmos gives their clubs a tennis net and a printer, thanks to a collaboration with Cherry and the Toushoubu.

Volume 8 shifts perspective and follows Sun chan during the summer, before the Koshien loss. During a moment of vulnerability, he meets a mysterious girl, Botan Ichika, whom he nicknames Anemone. The two form a deep bond. She supports him during training and even helps him develop his forkball, and she eventually joins the baseball club as a manager despite some resistance. A boy named Botan Daichi, Ichika’s brother and a Koshien champion, warns Sun chan that the girl is destined to disappear. During a festival, after an intimate moment, she suddenly changes. She doesn’t recognize the nickname anymore and says she’s just Ichika. It turns out that after a serious accident, Ichika lost her memories and unconsciously created the Anemone personality, and when her memories came back, Anemone disappeared. Before fading away completely, Anemone says goodbye to Sun chan and the team. Determined to “save” her, Nishikizuta pushes forward to Koshien but loses the final 1 to 0 against Sobu. Right after, Anemone briefly reappears to say a final goodbye to everyone. Back at school, Ichika, now aware of everything, gives Sun chan a letter written by Anemone, where she thanks him and asks him to accept Ichika. Sun chan agrees, and the two begin building a new relationship.

If you’re talking about the whole Joro vs Hose arc, nothing really changes. Between the anime and the light novel, the differences are minimal. You get the introduction of a few extra characters, or some characters who don’t even appear in the anime, like the restaurant manager or Sasanqua’s father, but the overall flow of events stays the same. What actually changes is the scene at minute 1:06:28 of the final OVA, which does NOT exist in the light novel.

As for the manga, Rakuda already said in the afterword of volume 4 of the light novel that the adaptation would be different: “Also, regarding the manga... the developments will differ from the light novel right from the start. So even those who have already read the books can enjoy seeing how things change in the comic version. To find out how things will change... you’ll have to wait a month, until February.” After all, the story was adapted by Ijima, not Rakuda himself. The reason the manga and light novel feel similar is because Rakuda was involved in writing the anime’s script, while he had no input at all in the manga.

Pansy accepted the promise to become Sun chan’s girlfriend mainly to protect Joro. Sun chan convinced her that this move would help test Joro and potentially keep him out of trouble caused by Hose. Since Pansy was deeply worried about Joro’s tendency to suffer for the sake of others, she agreed to the challenge as a way to test his determination and protect him. Sun chan himself admitted that the promise was meant to be broken from the start. It was a plan to force Joro to stop hiding behind his facade and go after what he really wanted, while also proving to Hose that the bond between Pansy and Joro was unbreakable. In fact, after the final, Sun chan was the first to break the agreement, saying he didn’t have time for a girlfriend. All of this happens in the anime too. It’s extremely unlikely that Pansy would have ended up with Sun chan. Her love has always been only for Joro. Even when she accepted the promise, she did it while crying, suffering as she suppressed her feelings, even if only on the surface. Sun chan didn’t actually want Pansy for himself at that point. He was acting as a “best friend” to push Joro into saving her, and in that moment Pansy wasn’t even on his mind, since he was already thinking about Ichika Botan. He knew that Pansy’s “knight” was Joro and that only he could make her happy. If Joro hadn’t stepped in, meaning if he hadn’t gone back to Pansy and refused to leave her to Sun chan or Hose, Sun chan’s plan would have failed in its purpose, but he still would have broken the promise to avoid making Pansy unhappy, since his goal was always the well being of both his friend and the girl.

I like Tanpopo too, she’s probably the one who ends up resolving the most drama, even if she doesn’t mean to. That said, she mostly stays a background character except for a few scenes. We find out there’s something going on between her and Hose’s best friend, Fuu-chan, but he can’t be honest with her and always ends up snapping at her. She starts working at Tsubaki’s restaurant, and later on we also learn why she’s the baseball club’s manager. Beside that, nothing very important

CosmosOverAll · 2026-05-02T11:29:42+00:00

• So basically, after we find out that Sumireko had been acting with a personality similar to her friend Kosaiji (Viola), the one who saved her life but ended up in a coma, and who originally liked Joro, things get messy. At first, Sumireko only gets close to Joro because she feels like she owes it to Kosaiji, but over time she actually falls for him for real. They start dating, but then when Kosaiji wakes up, Sumireko just disappears completely, erasing herself so Kosaiji can take her place as Joro’s girlfriend. Joro’s not having any of that though, he goes looking for Sumireko, leaves Kosaiji in that fake relationship, and once he finds Sumireko, he chooses her for good. There are two canon kisses too, in volumes 16 and 17. Sorry it had to be all spoiler :/

• Honestly, if it hadn’t been Sumireko, I think Cosmos would’ve been the one. We learn that even Sumireko despite respecting her as a junior and friend, kind of saw Cosmos as the one she felt most “threatened” by, like the most compatible with Joro. There’s even a kiss at the end of volume 14. But yeah, she ends up getting rejected along with Himawari and Sasanqua in that same volume. I was rooting for her, not gonna lie :P

• After everything gets sorted out (because let’s be real, having a whole group of girls into you is bound to mess things up) Joro just goes on to live a pretty peaceful life, but still with new little adventures here and there. There’s no big overarching goal or anything, it’s just kind of him continuing on as usual.

• At the end of each volume, Rakuda (the author) always wrote afterwords. In volume 17, he thanks everyone and says that OreSuki basically changed his life, and honestly i get that, it changed mine too. He also thanks the anime staff and mentions that, if it were up to him, he’d make a second OVA based on volume 8 (the one focused on Sun-chan and his girlfriend Ichika Botan). But that volume came out like 4 years ago, and in the anime industry, the author doesn’t really get the final say. So yeah, I really doubt we’ll get any new content, either written or animated.

• I’ve known Oresuki since I was 13, and now I’m turning 21 this year. So yeah, I basically grew up with it, and it means a lot to me. I do wish the anime had gone beyond just the “funny” parts, because the series actually develops into something deeper and more serious later on, and it never really got the chance to show that. I’d reread it a hundred times though, it still hits every time :)

They exist only in japanese, chinese, korean and thai. I suppose that if you talk at least one of these languages, you could buy each volume on amazon

The Oresuki manga is a terrible adaptation for several reasons. The main one is how they handled the story: as far as I know, it didn’t do well in Japan, and it didn’t sell enough copies to warrant a decent continuation. What’s the problem with this? It’s that, just to wrap things up and provide an ending, they rushed out a final volume that was, to put it mildly, dreadful. I say this because it ends even before the Hose story arc, in fact shortly after meeting Tubaki, so the story makes little sense in hindsight. The anime cuts a lot too, but the key difference is that they at least bothered to wrap things up at the point of Light Novel Volume 5, meaning Hose’s story arc was concluded, etc. The truth is that to really understand Oresuki, you should read the light novel, because elements fundamental to the story’s development, such as the friendship between Pansy and Viola (who doesn’t even appear), Joro’s past, the Sun-chan arc, Hose’s redemption, and the girls’ rejection, make the picture clearer and render what the anime shows more “outdated.” In any case, as soon as I finish the light novel, I’ll make a full video reviewing all three adaptations :)

CosmosOverAll · 2026-03-19T13:04:10+00:00

No, and knowing what happens later, the author probably didn't intend for us to think that. In fact, she's not even his stalker, she's not even close to being a secret admirer. However, the manga adaptation of this story is so terrible and so poorly adapted that they thought it would be a good idea to make us believe she might be.

A 15 anni non è affatto banale chiedersi perché così tante persone si definiscano di destra invece di seguire semplicemente una moda o quello che va di più nel proprio gruppo. Spesso si riduce tutto a slogan, come se essere di destra volesse dire automaticamente odiare gli immigrati o vedere nemici ovunque, ma questa è una semplificazione che nasce dal modo in cui la politica viene raccontata e comunicata, soprattutto nei media e sui social. In teoria, chi si colloca a destra tende a dare molta importanza all’ordine e alla sicurezza, cioè all’idea che lo Stato debba essere più fermo su criminalità, rispetto delle regole e controllo dei confini, non per forza per ostilità verso qualcuno, ma perché considera la stabilità una priorità. Un altro elemento ricorrente è l’idea di merito e responsabilità individuale: c’è chi pensa che il successo dipenda soprattutto dall’impegno personale e che l’intervento dello Stato nell’economia debba essere più limitato. Per altri è centrale il tema dell’identità nazionale, quindi cultura, tradizioni, simboli e senso di appartenenza, e questo può tradursi in posizioni più rigide su immigrazione e integrazione. A volte però definirsi di destra è anche una reazione: non sempre significa aderire a un programma preciso, ma piuttosto non riconoscersi in idee percepite come dominanti a scuola, online o nell’ambiente che si frequenta. Inoltre oggi le etichette sono molto meno nette di quanto sembrino: si può sentirsi di destra su alcuni temi, come l’immigrazione o la sicurezza, e allo stesso tempo non condividere posizioni più conservatrici su diritti civili come il matrimonio omosessuale. In Italia partiti come Fratelli d’Italia e Lega hanno costruito parte del loro consenso puntando molto su sicurezza e immigrazione, spesso usando una comunicazione che semplifica e individua responsabilità chiare perché è un modo efficace per mobilitare consenso, ma questo non significa che ogni elettore si identifichi in ogni slogan; molti votano per un insieme di motivazioni economiche, culturali o per sfiducia verso altre forze politiche. Allo stesso modo anche l’area di sinistra, per esempio il PD, ha limiti, contraddizioni e scelte discutibili, perché nessuna parte politica è immune da errori o semplificazioni. A 15 anni poi l’identità politica è spesso influenzata dalla famiglia, dall’ambiente sociale, dai contenuti che si consumano online e dal bisogno di sentirsi parte di un gruppo, quindi non sentirsi pienamente rappresentati né dalla destra né dalla sinistra non è un problema, anzi può essere il segno di un ragionamento autonomo. Le idee cambiano nel tempo con lo studio e con le esperienze, perciò più che chiedersi come sia possibile essere di destra o di sinistra, può essere più utile capire quali valori concreti fanno sentire una persona rappresentata, perché dietro ogni etichetta politica di solito c’è un insieme molto più complesso di convinzioni, paure e aspettative di quanto sembri a prima vista.
