A review by alexis_sara
Gakuen Polizi, Volume 1 by Milk Morinaga

1.0

This was rocking the boat between a 1 and a 2 but I've decided if I lose all desire to read further in a book then like, okay I can say it's a 1. Plenty of other reviews to read if you disagree but anyway here is the problems with the book. It is positioned as a Yuri cop manga and it's not really that or anything, it feels like a slice manga with a concept that allows characters to be noisy. The romance here is hyper slow burn if anything and that just doesn't do it for me in particular when the slow burn is draped over such run of the mill stuff. There is a transphobic scene on a subway which is an awful thing for a manga that will likely be read by many trans women to have to see, another reinforcement that they aren't accepted. Even if that wasn't the intent of the scene I was turned off and could only read ab it further then that. This was written years ago and I won't take it as Milks position but I am a bit more turned off to check out more of Milk's work even after being bored, a tiny bit upset, and just not inspired at all by Gakuen Polizi.
