Greetings from Kanazawa. I've been reading, but this is the first time I've had a good amount of free time to write impressions.
Suzuka v01
-You can tell that this is an earlier work of Seo-sensei. Slapstick groping is beneath him; he can create cringeworthy situations strictly through irrational reactions and insane dialogue nowadays.
-Yuuka and Megumi are a good combo, and they provide HQ nudity.
-Suzuka is mean, but semi-rational at this point. Yamato is an idiot who probably deserves some of her scorn so far. At least he's more of a realistic hot-blooded idiot than a ridiculously oblivious harem protagonist idiot.
-lol, Hattori. It's not his fault you fucked up that badly.
-Sakurai Honoka is so doomed : | Seo-sensei really loves doomed girls with promises. She seems to be better than the title girl so far, unlike Tama-chan.
Suzuka v02
-And Suzuka begins her descent into psychosis. And she can't even cook. Bail out, Yamato.
-More gratuitious bathing scenes. Yuuka is such a (hot) troll.
-Hattori is a bro, and probably more useful than Takashi from KNIM.
-Honoka is still amazingly cute, and amazingly doomed.
-I'm surprised that it only took two volumes for the protagoinst to confess. Fucking destroyed.
Suzuka v03
-Hattori is still a bro, and now Yuuka is, too. Dropping truth bombs. I think her high school look is pretty cute.
-Megami is still a joke character.
-At least on the track team, Yamato can accomplish something other than being an insensitive blockhead. The stalking is a little worrisome, though.
-I can already tell from her first appearance that Hashiba Miki is the best girl.
-Damn it, Honoka-chan. Not just a promise, but a childhood promise. I guess it's your fault for falling in love with someone you talked to once and carrying a torch for years. Doomed by the diabolical machinations of Seo-sensei.
-Why are you covering up Yuuka's nipples during bathing scenes now? It's too late for respectability.
-DAMN IT, HONOKA-CHAN. Please stop simping, I can't take it.
-Suzuka gets destroyed by Miki. Yep, the best. Also, pervy Seo-sensei always makes sure to provide ass shots of her in her track uniform.
-"What's his problem? Why's he pissed at me?" Somehow Suzuka is more deranged than anyone in KNIM, and it's only the third volume.
-Miki and Honoka both trying to play grabass with Yamato after track practice, and of course Suzuka is mad about it. I need to travel back in time and get the name of the series changed somehow.
-Even Yamato understands that Goddess Miki is ero just by wearing her running uni.
-Kobayakawa, it's your own fault that you're comic relief. That name is impossible.
-Miki just basically confessed to you. Ditch the psycho and date her instead. She's also hilarious around Hattori.
-lol, you're competing with a dead guy. I really hope Seo-sensei's sadistic inclinations are only unleashed on his own fictional creations.
Suzuka v04
-Maybe you should listen to your crippling depression. It's trying to tell you something.
-Haha, YES! Too bad she'll probably forgive him.
-"Why'd she slap me?" Maybe you two deserve each other.
-Arima looks like one of the guild guys from Last Exile.
-I like how Hattori was introduced as a total shithead, but he's probably done more to steer Yamato in the right direction than anyone else so far.
-Yamato just set himself up to get rekt.
-Damn it, Honoka-chan. Miki still looking fine and dropping truth bombs~~~
-Hahaha. I like how his teammates weren't embarrassed by him falling down, but by his chuuniesque exit.
-Nooooo, don't let Suzuka rope you back in.
-Damn it, Honoka-chan.
-Door-to-door salesgirl looks really cute in overalls.
-Damn it, Honoka-chan.
-Miki gets ass shots even when she isn't in her track uniform.
-Damn it, Honoka-chan. This is way more brutal than watching Tama-chan fuck everything up.
Suzuka Omake chapters
I don't know if these were fan-translated, but the Seo-sensei omake 4koma/stories are pretty funny. Somehow I'm not surprised that he's a sadsack.
