The colours are so vibrant and the scenes are always drawn with such attention to detail。 Besides being quite visually appealing， the story is nice with minimal build up to the relationship beginning- which can sometimes be the case in yuri where the crush stage is drawn out over multiple chapters or volumes。 Instead， Haruka and Nao become a couple early on and the narrative shifts focus to the mystery of Haruka's past in theater and the potential strain the secret will put on their relationship The colours are so vibrant and the scenes are always drawn with such attention to detail。 Besides being quite visually appealing， the story is nice with minimal build up to the relationship beginning- which can sometimes be the case in yuri where the crush stage is drawn out over multiple chapters or volumes。 Instead， Haruka and Nao become a couple early on and the narrative shifts focus to the mystery of Haruka's past in theater and the potential strain the secret will put on their relationship。 The reasoning for keeping it a secret from Nao feels weak to me， but maybe next volume will reveal why Haruka left theater and we might learn why she doesn't want Nao to know。 But as it stands， it just feels to me like if Haruka had told Nao earlier in their relationship "Wow that play reminded me of how fun it was when I used to do theater in middle school。 I haven't done it in years， though， so it didn't seem important to tell you when we first met！" It would have been a bit awkward， but not a relationship breaking moment。 Again， maybe once the mystery is revealed to us as to why Haruka left theater， her secretiveness will make more sense。The main characters are nice and the secondary characters are nice， average supporting characters。 I like that everyone is an adult。 There is no particularly overt fanservice unless you include a brief bath scene and a bra strap。 Sex exists， but not in any sort of over the top way。This is just a first volume， so I never ask for much in terms of character development and stuff。 It did a good job introducing our leads， their friends， and their relationship while teasing a mystery about their respective pasts that we can unravel if we pick up the next installment。 I know I will be picking up the next one， I have nothing bad to say about this first volume！ Did I mention how much I liked the art？ 。。。more

I don't get to see much manga printed in full-color， so this one was a really nice treat！ It's beautifully illustrated。 This volume felt very much like an introduction to a story。 Based on the teaser for the next volume and secrets kept， there might be some tension and drama coming up。 I'm just happy that for right now， they're happy。 I don't get to see much manga printed in full-color， so this one was a really nice treat！ It's beautifully illustrated。 This volume felt very much like an introduction to a story。 Based on the teaser for the next volume and secrets kept， there might be some tension and drama coming up。 I'm just happy that for right now， they're happy。 。。。more

beautiful full-color artwork， but these girls are too blindly romantic with each other for my cynical， dead heart。 it seems like haruka's past might introduce conflict in the next volume though， so i'll still read it。 beautiful full-color artwork， but these girls are too blindly romantic with each other for my cynical， dead heart。 it seems like haruka's past might introduce conflict in the next volume though， so i'll still read it。 。。。more

Haruka dreamed of being an actor， but her dreams died in high school。 Now in college， a chance meeting with the outgoing Nao， herself a budding actor， ignites a whole other sort of passion。 As the two young women grow closer， it turns out that both are keeping secrets， but how much trouble can one little secret cause？Boy， the back of the book copy for this makes it sound really fraught and， well， dramatic。 Which is why it’s quite the surprise that this is actually a bit of effervescent yuri frot Haruka dreamed of being an actor， but her dreams died in high school。 Now in college， a chance meeting with the outgoing Nao， herself a budding actor， ignites a whole other sort of passion。 As the two young women grow closer， it turns out that both are keeping secrets， but how much trouble can one little secret cause？Boy， the back of the book copy for this makes it sound really fraught and， well， dramatic。 Which is why it’s quite the surprise that this is actually a bit of effervescent yuri froth that’s more concerned about the very mushy coupling in progress than it is anything more serious。There’s really nothing approaching high stakes thus far - Haruka and Nao meet， Nao hangs out， they grow close， they couple up， Nao unknowingly helps Haruka get over some of her stigma about the theatre， they come out with no real issues a couple of times and basically exist in that early-on relationship haze that makes everything sunshine and rainbows。They both have good friends， there’s some very nice real talk， they’re crazy in love。 It’s almost too perfect - even the secrets between the two are only half a problem， since Nao actually knows Haruka’s already because reasons。 The book description has a lot more going on than the series so far。Is that a bad thing？ Eh， not really。 There’s definitely the potential of something brewing here and it certainly seems to imply that Haruka might indeed find her way back to acting， which could very easily turn into a real muddle for these two。 And it’s not completely bereft of conflict， just while you’re waiting for anything heavy it’s pretty low-key and easily surmounted。Until that time you just get to watch them be super cute and in gorgeous full-colour， no less。 It’s got tons of sweet and silly moments， Nao is definitely a big puppy where Haruka is concerned， and the two of them are utterly adorable together。 There are worse things and they make sitting around and talking into a viable spectator sport。 Their slow coming together followed by rapid head-over-heels feels very natural for the two of them。I guess the biggest thing is that this is largely about Nao’s dream and Haruka’s support of that dream， but there’s not a lot of friction to it。 Not that they need to be fighting， but it feels too effortless with Haruka having been driven from acting so completely。 It’s certainly more interesting than Our Teachers Are Dating， which lays the syrup on even thicker and is even more toothless， but this feels like a really good book that’s just missing a little more heft to push it to greatness。3。5 stars - an easy round up to 4， especially if you’re looking for a nice， light story of two young women finding one another in college and the delights that brings to their lives。 I do think this might just get a lot better in subsequent volumes， so I’m going to ding it a little bit here in hopes it reaches even higher next time。 。。。more
