Synopsis

Tsukasa, Nadeshiko, and Mikage have been inseparable since they began junior high, but Tsukasa has a secret she's been keeping from her best friends—she actually has a big crush on Nadeshiko. Not wanting to risk their friendship, she planned to keep it a secret forever, but when Tsukasa learns that Nadeshiko has a crush on Mikage, her desire to support her friends now conflicts with her own feelings. First love blossoms in unexpected ways for these three young women and their circle of friends.

Love triangles can be something wonderfully dramatic (and thus entertaining) or completely pointless. So when you make a story that revolves around a love triangle, you have to put effort in it to make the triangle seem interesting.

Spoiler
There's a reason this manga isn't labelled yuri anywhere. Although it wants you to believe otherwise, there's no love triangle in the proper sense within the threesome either, despite constant references to the Summer Triangle asterism. After dragging you through five volumes of drama, pretty much nothing is resolved. Instead of wrapping up a mess of a love dodecahedron, the reader is supposed to imagine how things might end up like in the future, which is a cop-out no matter how you look at it. I picked 'mixed feelings' instead of 'not recommended' because the manga isn't bad in itself. The characters are interesting, and ...
