I'm no yuri expert by any means, but I am a sucker for romance and I will say that this show does romance fairly well.

The Story: It's a rather complex plot which blends together several character arcs in what I would say is a more or less satisfying conclusion. I say complex because there is quite a bit of character development in the 26 episodes. There are many secrets. There are many romances. But there is a sense of progress and it rarely feels like filler. It's very character driven and for the most part, I felt myself caring about the characters. The ... show can get very dark at times, but at the same time, there is plenty of humour, romance, and lightheartedness. I've felt confused quite a few times while watching and some themes they brush upon are not very comfortable, but at the same time, there was a sense of comfort and hope. The show is earnest and quite seriously set on telling a decent romantic story if you let it. Character interactions and development were mostly well done, although some choices and situations were rather strange and did not penetrate my disbelief. Ultimately, it's a good romance story because the show convinced that me that the feelings were real and that I should care about these characters. Although it's a conclusive story, I do wish to see more.


Art and Score: The art style is consistent and well done. It's an older show, but the style is pretty and doesn't distract. As far as the score, it's not quite up there with Clannad or Sakura Trick, but there are a couple memorable scores, and it's nice that they incorporated some music into the character development via playing the piano. We all know that pianos add +1 to romance.


Yuri/Ecchi/Lewd: This is a bit of a mixed bag. The show isn't shy about sexual themes, but at times, it goes a little too far. There is no actual nudity, but there are definitely themes of sexual relationships between certain characters. The Yuri theme is present throughout pretty much the whole show, mostly in forms of romance. There are a few kisses, but it's not on level of Sakura Trick. Though I will say that there are a few much deserved kisses and moments of intimacy that feel like a real payoff. Simply because of the subject matter and fairly strong sexual themes, I would say that this is for mature audiences. I know it says PG13 and for the most part, it is, but those few moments make it quite questionable. I'm sure most teens can handle it, but I wouldn't be comfortable showing this to someone under 16.


If you're looking for ecchi, this isn't really that great of a show for it because it's relatively scarce. If you're a fan of romance and yuri romance in particular, I think the story is compelling and ultimately worth watching. It's by no means a perfect show, but I think it's up there with Yuru Yuri and Sakura Trick in terms of Yuri because it provides something neither of those shows really do and that is deep romance.
