Awkward Silence, Vol. 4
2 journalers for this copy...
I got the first three volumes of this series all at once, something of a gamble - but I enjoyed them so much that I dashed out to look for Vol. 4, and found it at Harrisons Comics. (I had thought that the series would wrap up here, but the end notes suggest there's a bit more to come; no idea if it'll make it into an English translation any time soon, and this volume ends on a reasonably tidy note anyway, so either way I'm happy.)
This volume opens with the volatile romance of Yu and Kagami hitting more rocks; Yu really isn't into the whole public display of affection thing, and Kagami seems to adore it. Furthermore, there's the question of what will happen when they graduate - is Kagami leaving the country???
Satoru and Keigo have concerns of their own, as they're going to be seniors and will have to decide on their own colleges of choice - a problem, as one's an artist and the other a baseball player, and they don't think they can find one school that will be best for both.
There are some charming touches here, with Yu insisting that Kagami not shortcut his own educational opportunities just to be with Yu, and despite Yu's ongoing angst (he really is adorable when he's upset) the two seem to be getting close.
Romance, plans for the future, and vows and kisses underneath a cherry tree - very sweet (and funny) entry. If there is another volume I'll certainly check it out!
[The TV Tropes page on this series got me interested in checking it out.]

I'm adding this book to my Yaoi Manga shrinking bookbox, which will set out on its first leg tomorrow. (See the bookbox journal here for mailing order and contents.) Hope someone enjoys the book!
I really liked the support between the two couples, I think for Keigo in the beginning he just wanted to keep Yu from Satoru, but I feel like by the end he was genuinely happy for Kagami and Sagara. I love the matchmaking he and Satoru were trying to do. xD
On SUBLime's site, one of the staff mentioned the mangaka's note about more to come, so I believe that they will publish the next volume(s) when they can. Volume 4 was published in Japan on 3/13.
There was an extra published digitally on the site for $3 that looked really cute.
I'll check out the next volume if I can as well! Until then, not sure what I'll do with the volumes I have. Might reread at some point before sending on?
