The struggles in breaking through the fashion industry continue for them. The series' recent shift in focus towards this complication has finally begun, by this volume's end, to converge and rupture onto the state of affairs between our key characters. Akiko Higashimura allows moments of pondering the significance and meaning behind her characters' decisions, giving reflective thought that fed our hunger for insight and development. Given the manner in which this omnibus volume concluded, I expect shake-ups to later occur that would challenge important relationships and reset the dramatic momentum, perhaps as it treads towards its finale.

A fun comedy featuring nerdy women, this manga was exactly my taste. The artwork is beautiful. The story is funny and touching. The translation notes at the back of the book are very helpful in giving additional information.

I've retaken the manga after a short hiatus and even though I have no interest in fashion, I'm invested on this manga and its characters and the jellyfish.

After a multi-volume drag, this manga is finally starting to pick up speed and develop a gripping storyline. I read it in one fell swoop..onto the next edition!

Ahhh, what is happening- Tsukimi can't leave!! I've become so attached to these crazy characters and their foibles- I'm worried about Shukimi (yep, powercouple name!!) and Tsukimi's obvious lack of self-worth is so strikingly sad in this one. Next volume at the ready!
