Hikaru locates Chihiro, who is likely isolating herself (emotionally or physically). Unlike the usual romantic tropes where the boy simply comforts the girl, Hikaru’s approach in Chapter 72 is characterized by his signature bluntness mixed with deep protectiveness. He confronts her not just about her safety, but about her denial of her own feelings. Suki Desu Suzuki-kun Manga Chapter 72

By Chapter 72, the series has moved well past its middle-school origins. The characters have grown, and their feelings have matured, yet the central conflicts remain as sharp as ever.

This chapter focuses on the lingering feelings and the visible distance between the couples after their lives took different paths. Sayaka and Hikaru: He confronts her not just about her safety,

The key scene occurs in the karaage corner of the school cafeteria. Hikaru, trying to diffuse the tension, cracks a joke about Shinobu’s deadpan delivery. But Chihiro doesn’t laugh. Instead, she asks the question no one wanted to hear: “Which Suzuki-kun am I supposed to look at?”

The chapter opens by highlighting Hikaru’s absolute dedication to his sport. He is no longer just playing for the love of the game; basketball has become his sole lifeline to his past. The narrative emphasizes his grueling training regimen and his rising status in the sports world. Every sweat-drenched practice and every victory on the court is fueled by a single motivation: reaching Sayaka. Hikaru’s internal monologue reflects a mix of fierce determination and underlying despair, a combination that makes him a deeply compelling but tragic protagonist at this point in the story. 2.

Ikeyamada Go’s art shines in Chapter 72. The use of white space is phenomenal. During Hikaru’s internal monologue, the backgrounds vanish entirely, leaving only the character and his thoughts. During the rooftop climax, the panels become chaotic—splash panels, overlapping angles, speed lines—all conveying the emotional turbulence before settling into wide, still, horizontal panels for the reconciliation.
