This series had a lot of potential. It was super cute, packed with fluff, and featured some pretty likeable characters.
The main issue? Most of the story feels kind of pointless. It doesn’t really push the main characters’ relationship forward in any meaningful way. I don’t mind a good tease here and there—an interrupted kiss or a misunderstood confession can be fun. But when the same trick is repeated for half the series, it gets old fast. Each chapter gives the illusion of progress, only to end up back at square one. This also makes the ending feel pretty unfulfilling and shallow.
Another nitpick is that some

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 ...

The story pacing is tight, not too fast but should've been a bit slower. The story is 150 pages long but feels shorter than that. The art is good and matches the story.

This manga starts off very strong with a funny and enticing premise, likable characters, and a great pacing of the plot. I honestly had high hopes for it since the first two volumes are nothing short of amazing. They look exactly like what a light-hearted yuri romcom should be.
Unfortunately, as the story approaches its middle point, the whole thing devolves into one of the biggest useless lesbianism festivals in yuri manga history. The obstacles that the heroine faces start looking more and more forced, and her childhood friend and love interest's unwillingness to face the facts begins to feel too unnatural (and, if I'm ... |
