Katarina Claes has managed to rack up an impressive harem， with many a suitor。 Of course， a fair few women have designs on her as well， societal norms be damned。 This anthology is all about those young ladies， but can they really do much beyond fawn over the series’ darling？Anthologies。 Sometimes， a brilliant collection of short form storytelling。 Or a way to spend time with favourite characters that never got their full due in a regular series。 Or a means to explore the possibilities that were Katarina Claes has managed to rack up an impressive harem， with many a suitor。 Of course， a fair few women have designs on her as well， societal norms be damned。 This anthology is all about those young ladies， but can they really do much beyond fawn over the series’ darling？Anthologies。 Sometimes， a brilliant collection of short form storytelling。 Or a way to spend time with favourite characters that never got their full due in a regular series。 Or a means to explore the possibilities that were ne’er to pass。Or there’s this， which just does what pretty much every single short story or bonus chapter in the Bakarina series did except focused on the females exclusively and has as much teeth as a bulldozed denture factory。As the Bakarina series of light novels began to stretch unto infinity， I slowly began to withdraw from them， as they began to feel very same-y after a while and， while I could see the appeal for their charming cast just trying to push past one another， it wasn’t for me。Still， you’re not going to make a book potentially full of yuri antics and not have me take a little interest and I was curious if this would add a little oomph to things。 Sadly， this is a lot of ‘whiff’ more than ‘oomph’。The problem， as I said， is that this is just the stuff the author was already doing， but more focused on the girl characters。 That’s not much of a plug for an anthology series - get the same thing you were already getting but with different art。The Bloom Into You anthologies did so， so much with their stories as the authors took things that made sense or were hinted at for the characters and went all over the creative landscape with them。 It was an homage to the series and lovingly crafted。These stories are all the same thing。 I hope you like plants because Mary and Katarina are going to bond over them so many damn times in the course of this book you’ll want to send out for steak。What’s on offer is so mild and inoffensive that it’s hard to get too mad at these takes， but even with Mary as， genuinely， my favourite character in the series， the best stories feature Maria anyway。 The one where Katarina shows up with pumpkins is the best story in the batch， hands down。Like， no， this doesn’t need to be a full doujinshi or anything， but these are so hilariously chaste that it feels silly， if true to form for the series itself， which does not revolve around such things。 But it’s hard to see the reason why this exists except to redress the lack of time given to the story’s females， which isn’t why you should be doing an anthology in the first place。If you like the way the books do things， you’ll undoubtedly like this more than me。 The art is decent to good for pretty much every story but one and it’s all hopelessly pure， except one incident with a boozy tart that turns that particular story into more male wish fulfillment than anything else。3 stars - this is okay， but I dip into the side projects for this series hoping for something actually new。 Instead they’re just doing the same thing as the main series via a different lens， which seems absolutely pointless and does nothing to alleviate the fatigue I was admittedly already grappling with。 。。。more
