while i haven’t read the previous 2 volumes, i can tell this is a very character driven rather than plot driven tale about the inner struggles that takara battles with rising fame while being separated from friend, confidant, and support system, yuujin. i really enjoyed the art style, which felt reminiscent of fuyumi soryo. i would love to see more of what this series has to offer as it goes along and what developments will happen as the two try to find balance with their growing circle.

I really enjoyed this volume because we got to see Yuji and Takara interact more than in the previous volume. Takara starts to really succeed, being paid more, being on social media and everything, which is very interesting to see. The development is still quite slow-paced but I really enjoyed this.

I received an advance copy from NetGalley for an honest review.
I felt the development is slow and the characters were baseline I really had to power through this book to give it an honest review. I want to say that the manga really left no impression on me
Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for letting me read this arc for free in exchange for an honest review.

In Double, Volume three, we see that even though Takara Takarada is beginning to see his fortune— and fame rise, being able to act and navigating the media and the fans is like walking a tight rope, without a net below to catch if you miss a step and fall from theses dizzying heights! Exhilarating and exhausting in turns!

Good thing he has the support and attention of Aki, the beautiful idol, Yuuji and his agent, so even though the personalities of the characters consume even his voice, he’s able to keep moving forward and eventually have a breakthrough!

I didn’t enjoy this volume as much as the others, but it was still and interesting read and I’m looking forward to seeing Takara’s comeback in the next volume! I also hope we get to see more of Yuuji!

Thank you to Tokyopop and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

It was okay. A slow and I didn't really care about the characters but I did care enough to finish. Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for letting me read this arc for free in exchange for an honest review.

Continuing from last volume, Takara's star keeps rising. He completes "Three Sisters", his film premieres, and a hit ad campaign has all eyes on him - including cagey idol fans angered by rumours of a relationship between him and Aki. Throughout this volume, Takara's world expands beyond Yuujin and we learn more about the characters around him. Yet, he finds himself at a standstill when he suddenly loses his voice and reevaluates his love of acting. Another really captivating release in this series, blending intertextuality and character study seamlessly akin to Hamaguchi's Drive My Car.

The story was okay--its an continuation and it definitely picked up more towards the end and left off on a cliffhanger. Also, the art is very beautiful.

Plot flow is not hard to follow and I have not read the first two volumes. The emotions are pretty heavy and I could feel the characters emotion. Unique artstyle as well

Jumping in to the third volume without having read the first two was a bit difficult at first. However the plot flows smoothly enough that its easy to catch on to most of whats going on.

I found the art style of the manga very unique and dynamic. The emotion and story is really laid out well with how the characters express themselves just in their facial expressions. The dialog is also really smooth and feels natural between the characters.

Overall this is a pretty interesting story!
