This is one of the dumbest manga I've ever read. The premise is intriguing in the abstract, but everything about this world and its characters is so paper thin, bland, and stunningly stupid that all I can do is laugh at it. We the readers are expected to take it for granted that the main character's society can run entirely off the rules of the town from Footloose. They're simultaneously smart enough to hold their entire population in tight thought control, but also stupid enough to straight-up tell their next political pawn to his face exactly how miserable his life working for them is going ... to be. Although, the school colony isn't any smarter, and every country we hear about is just as one-note and indistinct as the "art bad" one. It remains to be seen whether this series will last long enough to be a so-bad-it's-good series (which would make it funnier than 2/3s of comedy manga that come out of Jump), but I'm holding out hope. Don't go in expecting a legitimately cool sci-fi, you'll be disappointed.

What began as a very sweet and heartwarming story of two women seeking a life that would make them happy ended in a very cynical admittance that trying to escape the structures of society is impossible. There is a difference between acknowledging reality and accepting the worst version of it, but Throw Away the Suit Together doesn't seem to understand that. I started reading this fully expecting to watch our main characters build a life together and find ways around the initial hardships that would come, and for the first half of the story, that's what I got. However, the story ended up with the ... couple right back where they started: exhausted, distant, and trapped in a cycle of rejection and financial strife. Honestly, I felt gross seeing that be where the story ended up after the critical optimism in the beginning. The moral of the story is not to try anything new and to accept society the way it is, no matter how miserable it makes you, which is particularly frustrating to see from a Girls Love story that acknowledges gay marriage being illegal in Japan. Ultimately, this manga is a trap, and I do not recommend it to new readers despite what it may seem like at first.
