Synopsis

Minami and Yuzu have been inseparable since elementary school. But now that they're in high school, Minami just can't accept that Yuzu may someday get a boyfriend. How come some random guy gets to wake her up in the morning, feed her lunch, take baths with her...?

It had a rough start, but a great middle part, and then, unfortunately, a rough ending.

The art is cute, the character designs are typical yuri/cgdct, the characters being quite similar but still have distinctive features, and you'll get the typical yuri dating tropes.

Volume 1 was awful. It had a sweet first chapter, but Minami was way too much, too annoying from chapter 2 on! Felt like I was reading a thriller based on her heart beat.

Volume 3 ...
