I binged this series in a matter of days when recovering from surgery. A classic shoujo that stands the test of time and proof the genre is maligned as trivial stories for young girls. Mature storytelling with a dash of feminism and class criticism saturated in swirling petals and cascading curly hair.  Not to mention the sprinkling of queerness throughout.  Oscar forever.
