this is it. my number one. my moby dick. it's just way too adorable. i don't think it can ever be surpassed. i will cherish this series for the rest of my worthless life. sure i might feel emptiness knowing that i'll never read this for the first time again, but i'll just reread it, cry tears of yuri joy, and then be at peace. eternally grateful for the mangaka and scanlation team.
These are pretty much my feelings as well... conjoined with the fact that the art style is the old 80s-shoujo-style that was my first exposition to Japanese manga, so many years ago, and it's so nostalgic!!! Ah, except that in those old shoujo series the tomboy heroine always ended up with the manly male lead, never with the super feminine girl who was her best friend (and who obviously loved her and obviously was better for her than any guy but always had to give up in the end). I feel like I'm back in the 80s and all my sapphic fantasies have come true, haha.
Why isn't anyone talking about the 3-step kiss in the alley? It totally made me dizzy with yuri glee! First a kiss on the cheek... then cover her mouth with your fingers and put a kiss on those fingers... then hold hands real tight and FINALLY KISS FOR REAL SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! So sweet and tender and lovey-dovey!
