Came for the premise, stayed for the "plot"
On a more serious note, I feel like this manga greatly wasted its potential. Though let us begin with the positive points.
The art is pleasant to read and the characters are all extremely cute. And no, I am not talking about the suggestive scenes in particular.
The story has a somewhat of a common thread, with a conclusive (?) ending that does not feel too axed? I cannot think of anything else.
As for the negative points, the biggest reproach may be how the plot seems to be all over the place throughout the story. The premise is really interesting
...
and the follow-up could have been so much more compelling if it stuck to solely developing its two heroines, as well as tackling gender identity.
Instead, it introduced unnecessary side characters and love interests, eating away precious pages that could have helped polish the main characters and deliver a conclusion that is not a three pages long time skip.
Speaking of the ending, it is by not one of the worse per se, but the fact that if feels like could have been anybody's game really just means the reader will be dissatisfied, no matter who they were rooting for. It absolutely does not help that everything was decided in the time skip either.
Oh, and if the reader has to read the afterword to understand the conclusion, something must have gone wrong.
At any rate, I am not ashamed to say I mostly read this for Asahi's expressions. As I said, going from the premise, I had great expectations for the drama and romance to sprout. Shame that we did not get see much of that.
