[Review] Takane & Hana, Vol. 8 - Yuki Shiwasu

Summary: A strong-willed high school girl and a hot young scion of a business empire can’t help trying to outwit each other every chance they get… But could these opposites be conning themselves out of the perfect match?!

After her older sister refuses to go to an arranged marriage meeting with Takane Saibara, the heir to a vast business fortune, high schooler Hana Nonomura agrees to be her stand-in to save face for the family. But when these two utter opposites pair up, get ready for some sparks to fly!

Valentine’s Day rolls around, and Hana wonders what she should give Takane even as she struggles to hide her feelings from him. Meanwhile, Hana’s father poses a question to Takane—exactly how long is he planning to continue his arranged marriage relationship with Hana?

Honest review based on an ARC provided by Edelweiss. Many thanks to the publisher for this opportunity.


If you're here wondering if after eight volumes this story is still worth it, I'd say it is. It's really just a little bit above average but it's entertaining and filled with lovely characters. The story does center on Takane and Hana, though. And this volume wasn't an exception.

Watch out for spoilers from now on, this review is aimed for those who have read as far as the seventh volume.

I didn't feel much the seventh and was a little afraid the story had lost steam. I think this volume recovered, it was so cute seeing Takane and Hana interact, especially after Takane's situation change. And we get some indication of where the author will go with the romance. I'm starting to wonder what she's going to do to have the happy ending, since we can't keep reading this for two more years of Hana's life.

In any case, as you can see, the story still keeps me interested.

Rating: 3 out of 5.
