There's a lot that could be said about this one, I'm surprised I never read it.
I love Akuta Fumie, her art is amazing. The first part is really really good, and really really believable, which I was pleasantly surprised by. I much appreciated the level of frustration Tsubaki felt and how often it spilled over into her words and actions. Part of having feelings for someone - regardless of their nature - is hurting them, and their interactions felt visceral in a way not a lot of other yuri stories do.
At first I was worried this was going to be another item cut short by Hirari's ill-fated end, because there's a lot of places to go after that and I trust her like few others. Thankfully it is completed, but sadly it's all played very safe, turning out predictably trope-y and only just appropriately satisfying. At least everyone was happy in the end. For a 2-shot, I guess that's about the best scenario possible. All well's that ends well (I guess!).
I honestly think the best part of this 2-shot (besides happy end) was the dude apologizing for accidentally spreading the rumor..
Yeah that was great and quite unusual.
