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. Festival, fireworks, fever, bath, school trips, school festival … what was not so common was the planetarium and the ski trip. That was cool as a change.
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
...
and 4 were my favorites, the progress there was great! Well, as the other reviewers have said, the progress was more episodic, yes, but it still looked like they were having fun, and Minami finally came down a little in v3. It was actually enjoyable watching them together, after I wondered in v1 how they were bffs for 7 or so years.
Even the first half of volume 5 seemed really promising! There were some really cute moments there! <3
But then there was this one moment that should've been the climax, yet it ended up being very anti-climatic. When it came to the verbal confession at the end, I didn't feel anything for them anymore. I didn't need for them to be together as lovers anymore, I would have honestly liked if they didn't end up together and move on from their crush. THAT would've been a mature take! Unfortunately it didn't.
As much as I love melancholy, I did not like whatever the author wanted to show at the end. Was it supposed to be more realistic? Good job, but after the extreme blushing from the previous volumes, i do not see why there was any need to bring this down to earth now. Especially cause you'd want readers to keep rooting for them, not achieve the opposite. Maybe it just me, though, I don't know.
More often than not, their hopelessness reminded me of 'Adachi & Shimamura'. If you like their awkwardness, you'll definitely like Yuzu & Minami too.
The supporting characters were really nice, and our MCs would've been totally done for without Kamiya – the angel!
I'm disappointed we didn't get to see more of Tsubasa and Kosame, though.
