First things first: don't be discouraged by the ecchi tag if you're not into that. I was on the verge of not reading this because of it, but I'm so glad I decided to read it at last. This manga starts off being quite ecchi-ish at first, focused on pairs of high school girls (not always romantic, though usually in a romantic-development stage) doing things and interacting with each other. So, mainly, this manga focuses on all types of relationships: fluffy, drama-ish, 'toxic', sexual, etc, combining all of those, too. As the chapters go on, we are introduced to more pairs, with a total of about 10 as of now, if I recall correctly. The best thing about this manga is definitely the character development. If you go and look at chapter 1 after having read up to chapter 211, it's strikingly clear how they have all grown so much, as well as their relationships have grown more and more complex. It's got funny moments, it's got dramatic moments, it's got heartbreaking moments, it's got everything I'd expect from a romance yuri manga but with even better quality that usual. If you want to compare this manga to any other yuri out there, I'd say it's pretty similar to 'AnoKiss', though its essence and how it treats its themes is quite different, as well as the sort of relationships it depicts. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for good romance, funny moments, or just overall watching girls interact, don't miss it.

Love this manga to death. All the characters and story are still being developed, which have been a very interesting and enjoyable journey. There's been some laughs, some tears shed and heart ache but hey what do you expect form a romance yuri manga? Also I should say the mangaka's improves significantly throughout the making of his manga and hoo boy ain't it some beautiful art. My favorite example of this is chapter 100. If you're not too fond of ecchi, I implore you at least give this a chance. Just a itty-bitty, pequeño, incy-wincy chance. Opinion wise, It'd be worth it to meet such wonderful and cute characters. *cough cough*  ♡Ayano and Miyoshi and Ai and Chie♡ It's expected to raise a brow or kinda avert your eyes a little or probably you can't handle the heartache but it's all part of this ongoing bumpy ride. Now go on along give the book a try. And note chapter 100 is guaranteed a place in your heart. Happy reading. Mwah♡
