While the series often alternates between the chaotic romances of the twin heroines (Satomi and Chihiro) and their love interests (Shinobu and Suzuki), Chapter 72 leans heavily into the aftermath. We pick up days after the festival’s climactic confession scene. There are no dramatic rain-soaked revelations here—instead, we get the small, awkward moments that define young love.

After the emotional whirlwind of the cultural festival arc, Chapter 72 of Suki Desu Suzuki-kun!! does something unexpected: it breathes. And in that quiet exhale, author Ikeyamada Go delivers some of the most tender character work yet.

It’s a vulnerable moment that recontextualizes his entire character. The “prince” has stage fright.

The chapter ends not with a cliffhanger, but a promise. Suzuki asks Satomi on a proper date—not a group outing, not a festival detour, just the two of them. Her teary-eyed “yes” is interrupted by a sudden cut to… a new character silhouette watching from across the street. Who is this? A rival? A past connection? The final caption reads: “The real test begins now.”

4.5/5 Best moment: Suzuki’s confession of insecurity. Worst moment: Too short! Left me wanting more.

Chapter 72 is a masterclass in emotional restraint. After the fireworks of the previous arcs, it wisely slows down to let readers savor the romance that’s finally bloomed. If you’ve been following Suzuki and Satomi’s journey, this chapter feels like a warm hug—with just a hint of impending drama.

Satomi is shown staring at her phone, rereading a text from Shinobu for the tenth time. It’s mundane (“Did you get home okay?”), but the paneling—close-ups of her flushed cheeks, her fingers hesitating over the keyboard—says everything. This is the chapter’s quiet strength: capturing the heart-fluttering uncertainty after the big feelings are finally out in the open.
