sweet and simple, this series felt more honest to my own high school life than any other high school yuri I've read. the girls of Fujigaya and Matsuoka High are refreshing in their realness and in the relationships they build with each other. while there are a number of inappropriate relationships (incest, adult/student), in these volumes they are depicted as one-sided and not glorified. it feels like the work is simply showing the feelings many teen girls have for people not available to them instead of romanticizing relationships where teen girls are groomed and abused.

it was also nice seeing the words lesbian and bisexual on the page. a lot of high school yuri is afraid to use these terms or they only come up in derogatory remarks, so seeing them used casually and accurately is a nice change of pace.
