Before starting this, I didn't realize that the characters were in their 20's, out of school and trying to figure out their lives. I did know it was yuri, but I didn't expect it to be so mature. That's not very common, I don't think, and I really like that.
Emi meets Kei rather by chance. After being dragged to a club she's not all that interested in, and separated then ditched by her friend, Kei kind of saves her. They end up going home together, and that sets their relationship in motion.
It's a rather fast move, but it's also sweet, and seems to just make sense. Kei is easygoing, and not at all worried about letting Emi stay and get comfortable from the start. Kei is also a DJ, and introduces Emi to that world, and to the job of VJ, which might be just what she's been looking for.
I related to Emi in a way. I understand her feelings about trying to figure out what it is she wants to do with her life, for a passion she doesn't really have yet. I also liked that this had a subtle, slice-of-life kind of feel to it. Their relationship is easy, and we get to see them hanging out and doing couple things, without any pressure.
This was a fun first volume. Easy start, with a few plot points that could lead to more. I'm intrigued to read the next one.
