I love the art and the use of red/pink to highlight emotionally intense moments.
Spoilers below, tw for suicide and self harm mention
- I felt that the idea that Pheobe attempted suicide by cutting was not clear enough. The only implication of such was the bandages on her arm in her first appearance, which I initially missed. This made the scene where Jade was triggered from the other artists' Persephone painting confusing and not as impactful as it intended. But, I understand why such explicit details about her attempt may have been excluded.
- I think Jade and Mary kissed too many times. The kisses felt a bit rushed and shallow. Maybe it's just me, because I wouldn't have just met someone and a week or so later kiss them. The purpose of such a budding romance in the story has its place and it definitely added to it, but it did not feel realistic given the timeline and how it played out exactly. Perhaps given greater character development it wouldn't have felt awkward for me.

The characters were cute, but at times felt a little flat or overreactive. Despite this I still enjoyed the reading experience. There were some moments where I felt more 3D elements and layers of meaning showing through, and those moments were very strong.
