First of all, I only created this account to comment on this manga. I like this manga and it is a good read, only at the beginning for me. When I got to the part where Kotooka already knew about Nadeshiko's and Tsukasa's feelings, I was hoping she would tell them. Well, at least at an appropriate time. As I continue to read, I was hoping the girls would have their feelings resolve. But then Chapter 15... Ugh... After Ch 15, I couldn't take it anymore. I got so frustrated.

So many misunderstandings. And presuring poor Tsukasa with Asakura. I get that Kotooka have good intentions, I really do. What got me to finally drop this manga is the last page on Ch 15. I understand that the girls doesn't want to change what they have, but for me, their unspoken feelings for each other really frustrate me. Unrequited love in the end for the girls. It felt like everything would be resolve if only they say something.

To have an unrequited love not be resolve by the end of the manga really leave a bad taste in my mouth. I'm so glad I didn't waste my time reading the rest and head straight for the final chapter.

I'd like to a sequel of this when they're older and maybe in High School, I want to see if they are still keeping up their secret or have things broken down. I give a lot of the uncertainty and not being true to themselves to them being in middle school. That's a fucked up time what with the constant hormones and such.

ANN is making a review of Asterism https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/nameless-asterism/gns-1-2/.132209 so far the first 2 volumes ... I kinda want to see the review of the last 2 for the morbid feeling it causes to finish it hehe.

Btw let me say this just one more time... Kotooka did nothing wrong.

I forgot to finish this before whoops so here is it.
The ending feels somewhat rushed, yes. I'm dissatisfied with many things people have talked about as well.
These extras with BL though, I dig it, so cute, thanks (I dig everything as long as they're good, okay). The artwork is nice as well. I just wish the story is better...

Two words. Very. Disappointed.

Reading through this slowly; I'm currently on the start of Chapter 7. I've heard bad buzz about this so I'm trying not to get invested in any particular ship, but I'm already rooting hard for Tsukasa and Washio. ^_^;

We need a sequel for this where they're already adults and some crazy NTR shit happens

so much great buildup for so little of anything in the end.
well, everyone else has already said as much about this series.
I'm just glad I'm not the only one who found the ending to be really lacking.

I just have been rejected by my best friend and some how end up finding this manga. I was hoping this will make me smile again, but the ending just hurt me more especially the phase " First love never work". Like fuck you author it was hurting the whole way through the series but that ending just like hitting me with full force, I really hate you now. But beside this is a very good and cute series about love but not for anyone who are hurting.

So, reading this again after the years... Did Kotooka and Washio hook up at the end? The final phrase was "first love doesn't last" and it wouldnt be a first for those two (Kotooka with her other friend, Washio with the Sempai)... alsoa at the super spoiling image at ch. 19 they have matching bracelets (Tsukasa doesn't have one)... So can I assume that they hooked up?? Thet ending for Tsukasa was hell though.

I can say, after the years, when the hype is gone and you can read calmly.. that it wasn't as bad as I remembered it. I liked it and it made me feel nostalgic.

6.7/10

I will never understand people. Why the hell hiding something like that? Seriously, they are too immature and shouldn't even be thinking about romance yet. They are too naive and the like. I wish people wouldn't go to hastily in the path of romance and take a long thought about life.

Aren't you talking about teenagers and puberty in general?
There are times to keep a secret and times when shou can be horribly blunt. Isn't the whole purpose of growing up and maturing to figure out the best way to do that?
Not everyone can handle being straight forward even if it could be an ideal to go after.

This story had so much potential and delicious angst in the first few chapters but got bogged down in the side story and it felt like the author didn't know what to do with the characters...
The ending was hot garbage too

You are not alone in your response to this one.

IKR? it mostly ended where it began

Pretty much, yes, just with even more secrets...

And secrets are bad. But it’s a happy ending.

Unless you're dating in secret.

Very happy for the male characters.

Funny how this manga is what explained to me why the car company Subaru has all those stars on its logo - the Pleiades are a star cluster, and Subaru is the Japanese name for the Pleiades.

But it’s a happy ending.

Very happy for the male characters.

In the patriarchy, that’s what matters.

It seems very obvious to me that Kotooka and Nadeshiko end up together, so I'm always really confused when I see people say this story doesn't have yuri or whatever. It just doesn't have yuri for the POV character in chapter 1, which is kind of a weird standard.

The main character is really Kotooka... it's a coming out story for her. She's the gayest of the three.

Is just your average yuri story where the main protagonist finds a boyfriend and her brother finds a boyfriend too and even in the special extra chapter, is about the brother..... Who later gets his own manga.

Classic

Also "Very obvious" that's bold
