Synopsis

Yui Yamada has always been a shy girl, keeping to her small circle of friends and fulfilling her duties as the "Plant Appointee" by greenifying the school. Yet, one day, she ends up crossing paths with the track and field team's ace, Tomoka Kase. Kase is outgoing and athletic, while Yamada has never played sports or participated in a club. However, despite being polar opposites, the pair soon find themselves becoming closer.

With lots to learn about relationships, and each other, will their feelings bloom into something more?

(LAZAROTH REVIEW - NO SPOILERS - RAPID REVIEW)

The "Kase-San" series is a great Yuri manga about two girls who's love blooms like the flowers Yamada-San plants, leaving your heart racing as fast as Kase-San runs on the track.

At first, I thought this manga would be a "bus stop manga" (see my other reviews), but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it wasn't. No, this is a serious manga with a flowing narrative filled to the brim with wonderful and wholesome romance.

Great Yuri manga are a rare find, but I really enjoyed my time with the first manga of this couple, and I'm looking ...

I didn't originally plan on making a review, cause I rarely do, but reading through the other ones made me want to.
This story is sorta short, being only 25 chapters, the pacing makes up for it though.
(There aren't any explicit spoilers, by the way)

Kase-san is one of the two best romance genre stories I have ever read.
I'll skip the part where I summarize what the basic story is about, and instead go to the reason I wrote a review.

Kase-san is a rare encounter for me when it comes to romance manga, for one very special reason.
This story, their interactions with eachother, all of it feels ... reasonable, I could be fooled if someone told me it was a true story.
The romance and love feels like it tries to actually make a middle ground between cuteness and realism, to me.
Even with the chapter count of it, it still takes itself slow, it doesn't rush anything other than the very short time skips rarely.

Yes it's very cute, the sweet gardening comittee president noticing and slowly falling in love with the popular track team star from afar.
Even the best friend character, Mikawachi, is always nice to see when she appears, she's not obnoxious or anything bad, but actually feels like the best friend of Yamada. They've both been friends since the start of the school, and they get along well.

I'll stop rambling and get to the actual point though..
The whole story takes place across one and a half year, a very happy school year where they both noticed eachother, met up and became inseperable. (Until you get to the sequel manga)

There is more than just the happy moments though, which is what surprised me when I read reviews for it.
This manga is very emotional, or I am very emotional, cause a LOT of the story content was somber or just pretty sad, pretty much tear shedding.
It is not only happy, but also full of the anxiety you could feel, which I appreciate.
I think it accurately portrays realistic problems that some people can face in a relationship.

I'm not talking about the dumb anime trope where they make weird misunderstandings constantly, but I'm talking about things like not being open enough to eachother. Bottling up bad feelings, and not communicating so you can both help eachother in making the relationship better. That is among the many problems I'm talking about. Of course, there is one certain problem that the manga puts the most focus on, and it is also the climax of the story, but I won't even explicitly say what it is, cause it is such an obvious thing if you think about it for a minute (It could also be a spoiler, actually).

Essentially, before I write too much, I want to say that this manga is great if you're like me.
I like romance stories that take place in a real world setting, during modern times, and the whole thing is actually leaning toward realism instead of just entertainment or badly written relationships.

So, that is why I made this review, so I can highly recommend this to anyone that also likes more realistic feeling romance manga.

☆ This is a spoiler-free review ☆

A super pleasant read! Asagao to Kase-san is an excellent blend of conflict on romance, school, and expectations.

Story [7]

The story consists of Yamada, a shy, hesitant girl, confused with her emotions towards Kase, a "boyish" girl and star of the track team. It's more or less your standard love story, with misunderstandings and both characters just trying to see where they are in the relationship.

Art [8]

The art is nothing spectacular, but also does not disappoint. It does justice to each character, and you can really get a feel for what the manga is about from the soft lines ...
