I really enjoyed this!!! I've been wanting to get back into reading yuri manga, and can see why this one in particular is immensely popular online.

TGSWIIWAGAT (or green yuri manga for short) is a pretty silly, upbeat story about mistaken identity, when popular girl Aya unknowingly falls for a boy who works at a CD shop, without realising it's her female classmate, Mitsuki, and bond over their love of western music.

Obviously, as someone not from Japan, it can be kind of funny when

Aya is lamenting about how people don't know hugely successful bands like Nirvana and Radiohead

, but I don't know much about Japanese music culture, so it probably makes sense. Plus, I think it's actually quite a universal part of the queer experience. It wasn't just my queerness that made me feel isolated- it was also the type of shows I watched, the books I read- so I found myself relating to both girls in trying to hide those interests from others.

Mitsuki's

later back story reveal about her being targeted for her disregard of traditional feminine gender roles

was also really sad, as I complete understood it. Even before I had realised my own queerness as a child, it was like other people could already tell something was different or wrong with me. So, even as a grown adult, I still related so much to their stories.

So TDLR: a cute and touching story about queerness and how that relates to music. 

I read all of the chapters that are currently out (76) all in a few hours today after seeing some adorable fanart. This is SO cute!! I love the main characters oodles, and the supporting cast is great too. The art style is also lovely and I found myself rereading pages multiple times just to look at the pretty lines and characters. I also laughed out loud a lot at some parts. I have extreme gender envy for Mitsuki (god I wish I looked like that!!!!!) and Aya is so fucking cute wahhhh. I also am a huge music nerd so this was just fun all around. I was worried the miscommunication trope would be oof when it happened, but it honestly didn't last long at all in the scheme of things. The pacing feels a little weird at times, but I chalk that up to the fact that it was originally published as twitter shorts (4 pics in a post) before being serialized. Can't wait for this to (hopefully) get a physical translated release so I can buy the volumes and stare at them forever!!! Highly recommend if you like music, girls, girls who like girls, girls who like music, and girls who like girls who like music. xoxo

the art style is very unique and pretty, and there’s no unnecessary conflict—in fact there is some real progression in the story despite the short installments.
