That certainly was a way to spend time. The tldr is there's so much yuri out there. There's no reason to read a bunch of almost okay vignettes unless that's specifically your thing.

Plot: The longest story was six pages. This is more a collection of premises than anything else.

Art: Varies, as this is a collection of short stories. Having said that, nothing stood out.

Chemistry: If you like a bunch of premises, maybe you can get into the chemistry here. I didn't feel anything from any of the protagonists.

Skip this one. If you're going to read an anthology, I recommend finding individual authors who have ... a series of one shots gathered up, or at the very least an anthology with slightly longer stories.

The entire reason this review is "Mixed Feelings" rather than recommended is because of the age gap. I find it odd and I didn't like that major aspect of this manga.

Story: There's not much of one as this is more or less a slice of life story. This manga is more about its premise and character chemistry.

Chemistry: The reason to read this. Yoroizuka appears cold and distant and Kurumi is constantly going off the rails. It's a fun pairing with lots of comedy mined from the simplest scenarios.

Art: In general, it's fantastic! Character designs are distinct with bold, often hilarious expressions and I was ... regularly laughing out loud. A nitpick of mine is Yoroizuka's chest is drawn so disproportionately huge as compared to the rest of her body that it is distracting. I'm happy for people who like that kind of thing, but I couldn't help but be distracted by it. Panelling is simple, though effective. Background art is sparse, but this is mostly due to focusing on characters and their nuanced expressions, so it's fine.

If you can get past the age gap, I'd say go for it. I still rated this highly, so that is what it is.

Another totally OK yuri manga.

Story: The premise and plot were fine, but nothing mind blowing. The protagonist always lets romance pass her by with bittersweet feelings in her heart. That sounds like a decent enough setup, right? Well, the author doesn't do enough to ratchet up the drama necessary for such a premise. If the story is about yearning, you gotta make me FEEL the yearning! Rip my heart out, you know? Anyways, the structure of the story in terms of timeline is a little odd, but I kind of liked it.

Chemistry: There's not a lot. This is part of what makes the yearning present ... feel so hollow. Lack of chemistry is the weakest aspect of this manga.

Art: Well drawn characters and fine expressions do a good enough job getting the ideas across. The panelling fares a bit better with sometimes interesting choices from the author.

Overall, it was another OK read. Another manga that made me think "gosh, that was fine enough, but maybe I should read more literature". If you've read all the good yuri out there, this isn't such a bad way to spend an hour.

This one was rough, not because it was bad, but because each story was almost great.

Story: This is an anthology with a little bit of continuity between a couple stories. Each story is long enough to get to know the characters, their whole thing, etc, but not so long as to be more than a one shot. Anyways, there's a tragic vibe present in most of these that is delicious that should have been doubled down on. "The One I Love" in particular feels like it should have been mined for the tragedy of it all, but instead the author chooses to add in complicated ... plot junk that doesn't need to be there. It totally ruined the tension and made a 9/10 short story into a 6/10. Overall, the plots are mostly decent amongst these shorts.

Chemistry: Great! It's good stuff. Conflicted characters with strong feelings towards each other.

Art: Quite good. Character designs are distinct, backgrounds are nicely drawn, with plain, but okay panelling.

I wanted to like these stories more than I did, but I really feel like the author shot themself in the foot on this one by not dialing up the tragedy. Still, it's one of the better anthologies out there, so I'd say give it a go.

A totally fine read if you're into the concept.

Story: Each story in this anthology is fine. None of them stood out to me as being particularly original, though not necessarily in a bad way. Don't expect Maria-sama ga Miteru, as most of the stories are too short too develop into anything. They're little snippets of concepts.

Chemistry: A couple of the stories have somewhat exciting chemistry between their characters, but for the most part, I'd say this is the weakest aspect of the anthologies.

Art: It's generally quite good! Character designs, panelling, and environments are perhaps the highlight of the anthology minus one of the later ... stories which is rather sparse. It's clear that all the authors had a great time nailing the vibe.

Overall, this is certainly a way you can choose to spend your time. I was not moved at all by any of these, but at the very least they weren't terrible. If you're into the sœur concept, you'll probably like this more than I did. If not, I'd say skip this one.

Kyou kara Mirai is both more than the sum of its parts and a surprisingly good read.

Story: One girl likes the other and gives her an ultimatum: Go out with me or I'll move on from you when we graduate high school. This premise isn't exactly what is conveyed (at least in my translation), but that's the idea. The plot meanders for a while before introducing elements that do a good job livening up each chapter. In the latter half, there is enough going on in an exciting sort of way to keep you going. The earlier, more meandering parts of this manga are often ... enjoyable more for their philosophical musings than anything else. Overall, the author was able to salvage a weak beginning with enough interesting elements until the plot kicked into gear.

Chemistry: It's decent, though confusing for awhile. Miku is better understood as time goes on, but the way she phrases some things early on makes it difficult to understand her. Again, this could have been my translation, but it mars what is otherwise fairly compelling chemistry between the two. Miku's intense affection pairs nicely with Kyouko's quiet obstinance. This improves fairly quickly with both leads developing some neat interiority that pushes their relationship forwards in an almost refreshing way for the genre.

Art: The art is often decent and sometimes quite good. Character designs are merely okay with Kyouko sometimes seeming a bit off in the way she is drawn. The author went for a more realistic style in terms of everyone's designs, which I appreciate, but something more could have been done here. Posing is the greatest strength of this manga. Everyone's personalities are vibrantly expressed through subtle, high quality expressions, gestures, etc. It's quite good. Panelling is above average and easy to read. Backgrounds are fantastic, though hampered somewhat by the limited setting. It feels like a greater variety of places would have been nice if only for the art.

I'd say give this a shot! Some odd choices are made and the first few chapters are a bit strange, but this is different enough from most yuri to recommend while eventually becoming a good read all on its own.

Another totally fine, average manga. TLDR: Go read something else. Even something else that's mediocre will probably be better.

Story: There's not much to speak of here. The premise of the story is mundane to the point of absurdity. I was expecting some further hook or plot development, but it never happened. This is really more of a compilation of one shots despite having continuing elements. In that light, it's not as bad.

Art: The art style overall is okay, and maybe even the strongest point of this manga. Character designs, while good, could be a bit more distinct from each other. The paneling was fine ... and I had no issue moving from panel to panel.

Chemistry: There isn't much of it. I found the pairings outside of the first couple stories more compelling, but not by much.

There's so much decent yuri out there, not to mention actually good yuri. Go read that stuff instead. If you're scraping the bottom of the barrel, still don't read this one. Go read something else.

Overall an interesting set of short stories with a couple of standouts.

Art: generally fine, though nothing special. Definitely of its era. Characters are far too similar to each other, often making the narratives a little more confusing than they should be.

Story: Lots a fun and interesting premises. Some of the premises though are just: what if queer people existed?? It's done in a charming enough way that it's not an issue. This is definitely part of what makes the comic feel dated, but I liked reading an older comic with queer people in it.

A fun little read if you have the time. ... It's nothing too special though, I'd recommend looking into other stuff before you end up here. If you want older manga with queer characters in it, then this could be a fun read.

Overall, a pretty good read.

Plot: While the story is somewhat average, it has a good hook early on and keeps you guessing. This slows down a bit towards the end, then ends impressively well with a fun twist.

Chemistry: Largely believable, the feelings the main characters share for each other are well portrayed and make sense. The story does a nice job depicting the different levels of surety of two people's affection for each other.

Art: Great facial expressions are the strongest aspect of the art. Characters frequently have odd ways of expressing how they're feeling in a way that keeps the panels fun. Character ... designs are good enough to get the job done. Background art is sparse, which can be fine, but I prefer more detailed backgrounds.

What I enjoyed most about this story was the angst. I'm a big fan of angst! While cutesy at times, the reason to read this manga is for the painful tugs we feel in our hearts when things do and don't go our way. It's a nice little read. I definitely recommend it.

Two oneshots and a third that is only four panels. Each are fine, though very basic.

The art in each one is okay, though basic. The first has uninteresting paneling with the second short being notably better arranged. The third is too short to even consider this aspect.
Characters are decently portrayed, but again, basic. The second and third shorts have the clearest ideas for each character in a nice way.
The premises are, again, fine. Somehow the four page one is the best.

Overall, a quick, totally okay, 15 minute read. The best thing going for each short is the decent amount of angst.
