1.5
This was the best of them all… but it was still so disjointed. The point about homophobia was really poignant though.

Moving and heartbreaking and a must-read for everyone. The only reason this wasn’t 5 stars is because the publication quality of the supplemental interviews was poor. It needed another pass through with edits.

This series is so bad and is (in my opinion) not appropriate for the age range it says it is - “older teen.” 🫠

You may be wondering how I ended up here again. Curiosity got me… but I still hate this. I’m going to hate read this series. Yuzu is a great character and is really the only reason I’m continuing…

Had such a good time and appreciated the grittier tone in the manga compared to the show!
