A cute little story.

It tries to address the struggles of being gay, unjust intolerance of gay people, and acceptance in a more honest way than most yuri. Nothing you haven't seen before, but it's pretty direct. It's not a main focus of the story and the execution of it can feel a bit rush and dramatized though. Most of story is kinda slice of life/hobby/traveling so it's a bit of whiplash to go from some pretty hard hate/bigotry to that, which it does twice.

It leads to some beautiful moments of support, but good lord does it remind me that manga like this really likes to ... shy away from characters calling out other people's bull. I'd kill to have more manga stop with the internal monologuing of why those people are stupid, and instead just outright confront them on their flawed logic of sexuality and similar issues. They logically argue their points in their head but everything that comes out their mouths, if anything, is just nothing close to what they think.

I like the attempt here though, and overall it works. I just wish characters would stand up for themselves whole heartedly.

ANYWAYS

As I said before, if you like those slice of life type yuri where it has a lot of mundane activities like travel, fishing, and other random stuff each chapter, you'd probably really enjoy this. I like that kinda stuff and the added emotional aspects here and there make it a solid read.
