Sweet fun gentle yuri. Didn't blow my mind, but a quality adult level pick if you want some earnest low-key wlw drama.

This kind of fell flat for me. It felt like every issue got resolved too quickly. Nothing was high stakes enough to make it exciting. There were things that should've been a bigger conflict than it ended up being and everyone was just so chill about everything. I couldn't really connect with the story, because of it. I also feel like Emi's character could've been developed a lot more. I liked her character and I feel like her struggles with what she wanted to do with herself were relatable. I would've loved to see more of it. I also really enjoyed her relationship with Kei, but there just wasn't enough.

it was kinda meh! I like the characters and their relationship but I think some of the plot was missing but well, it's a 3 volume series so it feels expected.
I bought the first volume from a nerd shop in Colorado and little did I know 1) that book was GAY and 2) that volume would kickstart my passion for manga. I had only ever consumed anime but I've been deep into manga and do not ever plan to back down. it's made my library double in size but it's fucking worth

The main "event" of this volume was rather unnecessary. I feel like the author only put this in because he wanted to have more excitement, but in my opinion, that totally backfired. I didn't mind the chillness of the other two volumes at all, quite the opposite, so having this suddenly dramatic and "exciting" plot felt off. Not only was it unnecessary but also a bit toxic.
Up until now, they're relationship was realistically mature, but this event totally threw them off the track... Good for them to resolving it, but it's a meh for me. It really wasn't needed to turn the table this much, to get the path the author had planned for the characters, especially the protagonist.

Also, is it just me or did the drawing style slightly change? Not sure, but it seemed more detailed and more "serious", if you can say that. Kinda to match the vibe of the story more.
Isn't necessarily a bad thing; the details were amazing. But I did like the "simpleness" of the drawing style more.

Fun and has a good bit of drama this volume. Satisfying ending and character growth. Maybe should have been a bit longer, maybe a couple more volumes, to allow us to get more attached to the characters.
