S-Rank Girlfriend

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 [...]

Suzuka Review

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 [...]

Suzuka 26 (Final)

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.

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 [...]

Suzuka 24

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 [...]

Suzuka 23

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 [...]

Suzuka 22

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. [...]

Suzuka 21

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. [...]

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 [...]

Suzuka 19

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, [...]

Yamato lays on the bed thinking about how to get a present for Honoka’s birthday and realizes he needs to score some boyfriend points. He lies about going out with Yasunobu to get out of doing something with Honoka on Saturday, and then consults all the girls he knows to find out what would [...]

Suzuka 17

In the aftermath, Yasunobu is disappointed that Yamato didn’t get it on, and it’s clear that Yasunobu is so horny that he is trying to live vicariously through Yamato. Yasunobu even goes so far as to tell Miki that switching positions really helps the mood, and gets a beatdown for his sauciness. Meanwhile, [...]
