Even though he plans on traveling to Japan to pursue his teaching position within the next two years, he still wants to explore the next stage of their relationship. While Yuki is surprised and possibly excited by this new possibility, she's also confronted with the potential challenges that may be ahead of them. While dating might be bliss right now, but can their relationship withstand the daily challenges associated with her disability? This volume in particular explores this question in depth but in the end, these two are simply made for each other and no matter what, I have faith in these characters to overcome any and all obstacles. ...more

The romance between Yuki and Itsuomi is developing nicely. Not many eventful things happening, so far, though it seems a love triangle may be on the horizon. I kind of hope not, but we'll see. I want more personality from Itsuomi....more

"Say I Love You" does a good job of focusing more on the "what do I want to do after high school" aspect of graduation, rather than the "OMG WE'LL NEV"Say I Love You" does a good job of focusing more on the "what do I want to do after high school" aspect of graduation, rather than the "OMG WE'LL NEVER SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN!!!" aspect. Say I Love You acts like the internet and phones are a thing and that you will, in fact, see your friends again after you graduate. There's a bit of time spent on not seeing each other as much, but to a realistic extent. There's also some sadness at leaving all those memories behind at the school, but again, it's not drawn out to the point where it's getting to be the whole volume. ...more

We have a new scThe eleventh volume of this manga, and while at times I am getting a bit bored, it was still interesting. This volume has many things. We have a new school year starting (Senior year, so you can all guess what that will mean, yep, either the manga will stop soon, or it will continue into college), a new first class (with 2 interesting new characters), decisions to make for the future, dieting (because Mei (and actually all the girls in the manga)), serious talk, romance. The manga was full to the brim, and while like I said it was interesting, it was also a bit boring. It just misses the spark it had in the beginning. Things are starting to settle, and while there are some exciting things happening, it is all pretty much slice of life. ...more
