I think this has to be one of my favorite comics since the combination of a Tall girl paired with a Short guy I find to be quite intriguing and provides a unique reversal of the classic "Tall Guy and Short Girl" formula. As far as these two go, I do have to give Matsuyama-kun credit for confessing to Katsuragi-san almost immediately as a means of putting his money where his mouth was, even if it resulted in a reply from her that may have seemed like a show of intimidation. Katsuragi-san is also a neat character since her status as the Ace of the Girl's Basketball team does give her an air of confidence in herself and determination which is proven when she literally chases after him all the way to the underpass in order to give him a proper reply to his confession. As far as what happens after that first kiss, it's just about what I'd expect from a couple doing it for the first time. With each other's consent, they slowly expose themselves and then perform only a select few moves during their session. My only complaint about this moment is that I wished there was more dialogue between the two, perhaps them talking about how they could plan out their relationship going forward and just couple stuff in general. However, considering that Katsuragi-san says "I've made plans today" in the last page it seems that they may have already figured that out. That all leads to my low key hope for a potential sequel someday to see where their relationship went after that last page. I mean the word Rebound in the title does mean "bouncing right back" so who knows if we may see these two again in a future story.
Well, he jumped to conclusions and made her have to chase him down just to tell him that she also loves him, eh?
Considering how things went after that, I guess it ended well so it doesn't matter how it came to that point.
Also, I do love me some sweet Vanilla. Great ending too.
She doesn't just 'look' like one, she IS a maiden in love. Sweet, sweet Vanilla love.
