Still slow as hell， but also sweet as can be。 I never knew nail polish could be such a critical plot point。

More of a 3。5 star rating;I like this volume since it had a few really good revelations; some that happened to Uno-san while some happened to Satou-san。 It was also really fun to see Satou-san’s younger sister pester both women a bit， I hope to see more of her。Also， based on the last chapter， I have a theory that Uno-san is an asexual lesbian。 I hope that’s the case since I’d love to see some asexual representation。

3。5 out of 5I was so excited for volume 2 of this workplace sapphic romance manga， but I ended up not liking it as much as volume 1。 In Volume 1， it was very easy to keep up with scene and dialogue。 The art style choice for Volume 2 made it very hard for me to see what was thought dialogue and what was actually being said between characters。 I kept having to reread and basically retrace my steps to make the scene make sense。 I enjoy that both MCs are having to grow through some insecurities and 3。5 out of 5I was so excited for volume 2 of this workplace sapphic romance manga， but I ended up not liking it as much as volume 1。 In Volume 1， it was very easy to keep up with scene and dialogue。 The art style choice for Volume 2 made it very hard for me to see what was thought dialogue and what was actually being said between characters。 I kept having to reread and basically retrace my steps to make the scene make sense。 I enjoy that both MCs are having to grow through some insecurities and work past the expectations that have been put on them。 Our MCs are adorable together and so so awkward at times which is usually how it goes with your first love interest （in this case first sapphic interest）。 I care about these characters and plan on continuing to further volumes。 I would still recommend。 。。。more

'Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon' continues to be cute and good as they explore their feelings for each other。 I also really enjoy Asahi's sister's unsubtlety at pushing the two of them together， and seeing them figuring out how to discover what they want from their lives， rather than what they think other people want them to be。 It's a good series， and I'm looking forward to more。 'Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon' continues to be cute and good as they explore their feelings for each other。 I also really enjoy Asahi's sister's unsubtlety at pushing the two of them together， and seeing them figuring out how to discover what they want from their lives， rather than what they think other people want them to be。 It's a good series， and I'm looking forward to more。 。。。more

I still love this slow-burn series， but I'm increasingly either interested or concerned that this is the third yuri series I've seen that may be conflating asexuality， demisexuality， and homosexuality。 It's almost certain that Hinako isn't meant to be ace or demi， but her confusion over the same "being in love means you want to kiss someone" line used in Whisper Me a Love Song is striking， and I suspect that it's meant to imply that she never thought about kissing another woman rather than kissi I still love this slow-burn series， but I'm increasingly either interested or concerned that this is the third yuri series I've seen that may be conflating asexuality， demisexuality， and homosexuality。 It's almost certain that Hinako isn't meant to be ace or demi， but her confusion over the same "being in love means you want to kiss someone" line used in Whisper Me a Love Song is striking， and I suspect that it's meant to imply that she never thought about kissing another woman rather than kissing at all。 It's not a terrible thing， perhaps， but it does lean into the casually cruel way that ace and demi people have been ignored or erased （i。e。 "you just haven't met the right person yet！"）， and that's not great。 。。。more

Cuteness overload！！This manga is so adorable！ It's light hearted and a easy read。 Asahi and Hinako are just trying to navigate what they are feeling and then there is Subaru trying to push them together in the most little sister way possible。 Love it！ Cuteness overload！！This manga is so adorable！ It's light hearted and a easy read。 Asahi and Hinako are just trying to navigate what they are feeling and then there is Subaru trying to push them together in the most little sister way possible。 Love it！ 。。。more

Hinako and Asahi have transcended the workplace to become actual friends， but where do they go from there？ They’re both strangers to love， as it turns out， just from very different places。 And while Hinako is coming to terms with things， an old friend of Asahi’s decides to make herself known again。Absolutely no doughnuts were discussed during the making of this volume。 And the world rejoiced。 Instead we get the slow burn of potential romance and the amusing interjections of a snarky student who Hinako and Asahi have transcended the workplace to become actual friends， but where do they go from there？ They’re both strangers to love， as it turns out， just from very different places。 And while Hinako is coming to terms with things， an old friend of Asahi’s decides to make herself known again。Absolutely no doughnuts were discussed during the making of this volume。 And the world rejoiced。 Instead we get the slow burn of potential romance and the amusing interjections of a snarky student who knows better than her betters。Subaru runs away with this book， which is saying something given the strength of all the characters involved。 Watching her sneakily （or obviously， but to oblivious characters） play matchmaker is so much fun and the best moment of this entire book is when she “explains” how our leads met。However， Hinako and Asahi are definitely an ‘at their own pace’ sort of couple and we start to get an inkling of why shortly into this volume when Subaru makes a very pointed request for Hinako to free Asahi。What becomes obvious is that after they lost their family， Asahi did her best to be there for Subaru， but she achieved this by sacrificing everything deemed inessential， including romance， which she’s clearly never considered before （I doubt we’re going the ace route here， but Asahi does kind of strike me as a little asexual at times）。Hinako’s problem is that she’s a lesbian and doesn’t seem to want to realize she’s a lesbian。 She and Asahi definitely have their cute moments and they help one another on their journeys， but not for nothing is Hinako recoiling when she’s the one making advances strong than she thinks she should。This’ll take a moment， is what I’m saying。Jury’s still out on Hinako’s friends， though they do get some interesting conversation and use from them this time out， but I think we can safely say that Fuuka， Asahi’s supposedly “only” friend is a potential problem。 You can just tell from the second she’s mentioned obliquely that this is coming。And yet， they do much more with her than is needed。 She’s clearly detested by Subaru， with good reason， but she’s shockingly honest later on when she’s alone with Hinako to a degree that I kind of appreciated。 It’s one thing to be a problematic wrench in the relationship， it’s another to admit that you keep things at the friend level because you know you have no chance and to be freely offering advice to a potential rival who’s discovering her sexuality。As much as I was prepared to hate Fuuka - she’s definitely a personality type that I have encountered and not meshed well with - the little extra the author does with her goes a long way。This is a good book in a welcome addition to the rare breed of adult-oriented yuri， but it is definitely taking its sweet time moving along。 Still， it makes a little headway and also shows the very burgeoning friendship between our leads， which counts for a lot as well。4 stars - glacial pacing and questionable friends aside， the core cast is fantastic and Subaru is so great that I would read a spin-off about her in school。 Just don’t expect this to develop any faster than our leads are prepared for。 。。。more

This is definitely a step up from the previous volume in terms of characters。 They are better explored and more rounded。 The story builds in momentum and I'm excited for the next volume。You can watch my full review here。 This is definitely a step up from the previous volume in terms of characters。 They are better explored and more rounded。 The story builds in momentum and I'm excited for the next volume。You can watch my full review here。 。。。more

Wow， this story is so interesting and the art is beautiful。 In this volume we learn more about Asahi’s past and Subaru is still being an amazing little sister as usual。 There’s a new character introduced and her part in the story is kinda expected， but it’s also helpful。 That character is also a lesbian。 I’m so so ready to read volume three， but it hasn’t come out in Japan yet :（Anyways， I’m really enjoying this series a lot。
