4.5 stars. This was quite cute and sweet, and I really enjoyed it. I'd reread it.

I enjoyed this. The art has clean lines and is quite pretty. I liked the characters and the story. It was, as I said the first time around, very cute and sweet. I'd recommend it. 4 stars.

This had some cute moments, but needed more development.

This book needs a revamp, and needs to be a series. 
For one thing, the relationship development and status is unclear by the end of the book. There were scenes where the main character was jealous and other times the main character said she didn't see herself dating women. It would've been better if the relationship was already established from the get-go. 
The character ages are unclear. They have corporate jobs yet I believe in a manga panel they mentioned that they are still teens? Thats a bit strange if you ask me. 
The characters aren't loveable. There was one character who was the partner of the main protagonist who kept teasing about doing "it" (like pinning her to the bed) but then quickly pulling away last minute, saying she wanted full consent. I like the idea, but this behavior could've been portrayed better. 
However, it's not entirely bad. The artstyle was cute and managed to talk about some very important themes, such as overachieving and deeper themes such as addressing homophobia and misogyny. 
Overall, I wouldn't recommend it. It just feels like the mangaka wanted to make a quick buck by writing a stand alone and just skimmed through the editing process. It isn't a one star because I don't completely hate it.

Ridiculously charming and charmingly ridiculous.

Two girls, a junior and her senior are best friends but will soon become more as they are doing a fake marriage.


Again searching around for some cute shoujo-ai/yuri and I stumbled on this one. The cover grabbed me immediately, it reminded me of another manga that used these colours to (and yes, it is also a yuri manga). Then I read the blurb, and I had to read this one.

Yep, fake marriage. Why? Because the older girl’s parents are pushing her to marry, and she, for good reason, is getting sick and tired of it. Thankfully, her best friend is more than up to think of a fabulous plan, and thus they get married. Which also means them living together (which is convenient for the younger girl as her apartment is being renovated).

As the story continues these two get closer, we find out that the younger girl was in love with the older girl for years (even confessed at school), the older girl learns to say no to her parents (to which I was just absolutely delighted) and figure out a better way with her job, she sees how hard the younger girl works and supports her (by motivating her and feeding her when deadlines are getting closer).

I just adored the ending. The marriage wasn’t really needed any more, and our younger girl had enough money saved to get her own apartment. However, something happens and I was just squeeing and smiling. It was just the best. And I think these two will work things out. Just take it slow.

The art was really sweet and adorable for this one.

The one shot including with this volume wasn’t my favourite. I didn’t like the characters at all. They were all pretty terrible (though the ending was sweet).

All in all, I had fun reading this manga, it was the perfect length (both the main story + the one shot).
