The Context of Chapter 72: A Quadrangle at Its Peak

Fixing mistranslated dialogue, awkward phrasing, or honorifics that altered the original character intentions.

Chapter 72 occurs deep within the high school segment of the story. At this juncture, the emotional tension between the primary couples reaches a boiling point.

What Does "Patched" Mean in Manga Scanlation?

If you want to dive deeper into this classic shojo manga, let me know:

The narrative follows a classic romantic triangle-and-square structure. Sayaka and Hikaru are immediately attracted to each other, but Chihiro has secretly loved Hikaru for years, while Shinobu quickly falls for Chihiro. The story is split into two arcs: their early teenage years and a second arc where the characters reunite in high school, exploring how their feelings have transformed. The story explores not only love but also the characters' individual aspirations: Sayaka's pursuit of acting, Hikaru's goal to become a professional basketball player, and their shared attempts to support each other's dreams.

8.5/10 (Deducting 1.5 points because the chapter ends on a cruel “to be continued” and my heart can’t take it.)

As for the legal status: support official releases if they ever happen. But until Shogakukan licenses Suki desu Suzuki-kun!! for English readers, the patched fan translation is the only way to experience Go Ikeyamada’s masterpiece as intended.
