The plot: After an injury in middle school, Kento gives up running. Upon seeing a flyer for a handicrafts club at his new high school, he accidentally offends "The Knitting Prince" by implying that handicrafts are FOR GIRLS. The Knitting Prince challenges Kento to try knitting just once, thus starting his newfound passion for knitting and his friendship with the mysterious boy known as the Knitting Prince.
I really enjoyed this one. The first volume mostly focuses on the friendship between Kento and Rui (The Knitting Prince), but by the end it's clear that the other members of the handicrafts club will be a stronger appearance as the series progresses. And I love the dynamic between the two leads! I will definitely be continuing with this series.
Outside of a lot of knitting terminology, the vocab for this book wasn't especially difficult. Everyone speaks as one would expect from boys attending a fancy private school, so not a lot of slang or dialects. The book has full furigana excluding some handwritten asides. If you've ever wanted to learn to read Japanese knitting patterns, definitely check this one out.
