Hatsu Haru Vol 4

On the heels of his inadvertent slip (which went right over Riko's head), Kai's spiraling into depression all over again. He's so befuddled with thoughts of Riko, he even fails one of his finals! While he's preoccupied with makeup exams, his friends are still determined to make Kai and Riko a couple. So when a study group is formed, guess who turns out to be Kai's tutor...Will this study session cover an extra subject-love?!

The trip Kai has dreamed of taking with Riko is finally here! As he whisks her away on their first private overnight as a couple, things couldn’t be going any better. But their perfect evening is interrupted when Riko lets slip a secret that changes everything...Crushed, Kai tries to pick up the pieces and rescue the rest of their time together. What will come of their vibrant young love...? The story of Kai and Riko’s unique romance concludes in this final volume of Hatsu * Haru!

They say idiots don't catch colds, but Kai sure has been lovesick over Riko. There's a fireworks festival around the corner, but instead of asking Riko along, he decides to just not go! When class-representative work keeps them late at school anyway, it looks like the perfect chance for Kai to collect his feelings and confess...With summer vacation approaching and fireworks booming overhead, will the feelings Kai has precariously kept under wraps finally explode?

Relationship woes are plaguing Aoba High...! After confessing his love to Shimura, Taka must now suffer the waiting game: Will she accept his feelings, or was their “relationship” just another headline for her paper? Also trapped by fear, Kagura begins to worry that she has placed her heart in the hands of the wrong boy. Amidst all this, Kai struggles to read Riko, wishing he could be as affectionate with her as he was with other girls. Will these couples work things out themselves, or will divine intervention be required?

Jealousy, rage, regret--the members of the Sohma family are no strangers to these emotions. Tohru Honda's cheerful optimism, however, is like a balm to them. Unfortunately, not every Sohma feels that way! Kisa and Tohru have become fast friends, but Hiro Sohma isn't too happy about this turn of events and decides to take out his anger on...Tohru?! And when the normally docile Hatsuharu snaps and pulls a Black Haru at school, will Tohru's brand of magic have any effect at all?!

Kai just can't shake his feelings for Riko, no matter how hard he tries (or how many other girls he dates). When it comes to first loves, though, Riko knows better than most how hard it can be to let things go. With Suwa and Akemi's wedding fast approaching, will Riko be able to finally tell her most important people a heartfelt congratulations and move on...?

Taka always thought he'd be the last person thrown off by high school romances. But when his seemingly perfect partner in crime, Shimura, has a sudden request-"Let's break up!"-he totally loses his balance. Even though this all started as an elaborate scheme to help Kai, now Taka is the one needing Kai's relationship advice! The tides sure have turned!

Cool and collected second-year Yamada is in love with his childhood friend, Seno. His classmates Akama and Toda are also starting to think about romance, though neither of them realizes yet that they might actually feel the same way about each other... High school love in the spring of adolescence blooms with earnest, messy emotions.
