S-Rank Girlfriend

By Kabitzin | Published: August 2, 2006
Dang, I was reading the most recent Suzuka manga volumes, and Suzuka has to be one of the hardest to please girlfriends ever! I guess it’s not surprising, considering what she was like in the beginning, but she is so far out of that n00b Yamato’s experience range, that it is painful to watch him [...]

Suzuka Review

By Kabitzin | Published: January 10, 2006
In spite of its rather lackluster production values, Suzuka really emerged for me as one of the most enjoyable series of 2005. While it’s not flashy or anything, the simple romantic story is well told and the characters are really wonderful. Unlike in other series, Suzuka doesn’t just fall head over heels for Yamato and [...]

Suzuka 26 (Final)

By Kabitzin | Published: January 9, 2006
Tired from all the slapping, Suzuka heads home all wet and bedraggled. Yamato has to tell Miki about what happened, but decides not to apologize to Suzuka. As he tells Yasunobu, he doesn’t feel he did anything wrong. Yasunobu is rather unsure, however, and wonders at what kind of mad skillz this Tsuda has. Naturally [...]

Suzuka 25

By Kabitzin | Published: January 4, 2006
At the shrine, Suzuka decides it’s a good time to finally have a complete flashback about what happened to Tsuda. On that day we see Suzuka excitedly talking about Tsuda as her older sister realizes that Suzuka has the hots for the rocket starter. Naturally Suzuka denies these feelings, but then Miyamoto gives her the [...]

Suzuka 24

By Kabitzin | Published: December 22, 2005
Suzuka clears her high jump and now can start looking ahead to the Kantou tournament, but Yamato doesn’t fare as well. Just as Miyamoto suspected, Yamato is unable to master the new style of running; even though Yamato’s curve is looking good, he lacks the acceleration at the end to beat Arima. Although this style [...]

Suzuka 23

By Kabitzin | Published: December 16, 2005
Miyamoto isn’t captain for nothing, and he busts out some speed-time graphs comparing Yamato, Arima, and the number one runner in the world. Clearly Yamato can’t prolong running at top speed, so Miyamoto advocates changing Yamato’s style to delay peaking. Yamato feels he can improve his style in time for the tournament, and enlists Miki’s [...]

Suzuka 22

By Kabitzin | Published: December 6, 2005
It’s time for another tournament, and this time Ayano’s tea is predicting good luck. Yamato is so over Honoka that he wants to confess to Suzuka again, but he knows he hasn’t changed, and feels the result will be the same. Back from rating track and field girls, Yasunobu confronts Yamato about Suzuka. After getting [...]

Suzuka 21

By Kabitzin | Published: December 1, 2005
Yamato is completely over Honoka, and just wants to do well in track practice; however, with Suzuka giving him the shoulder of ice, he just can’t concentrate on anything. Yamato is completely sucking out, and Sasaki is really pissed about all the pointless running he has to do, because Yamato is always spaced out. Naturally, [...]

Suzuka 20

By Kabitzin | Published: November 20, 2005
Both Honoka and Yamato are bummed about their breakup, and soon the whole school knows about it. Most of the track team wants to kill Yamato when Honoka doesn’t show up to practice, but Kobayakawa thinks this could be his chance. He and Yamato also get selected to the relay team, just to remind everyone [...]

Suzuka 19

By Kabitzin | Published: November 15, 2005
Yamato still doesn’t get it, so he has to visit Yasunobu’s anime blog to read the summary and analysis of what went wrong last episode. Honoka gives him the cold shoulder, and decides that she’s done with Yamato (in spite of Nana’s protests about giving those with mental handicaps a little leeway). Suzuka, however, rallies [...]
