finally read through all the chapters that are currently available and wow, "I'll fall in love for real" huh, Akebi please you do know what you're saying here right?
I love it, this entire story just shines with sheer optimism and happiness, every character is just a good person and Akebi shines like the fucking sun in the middle of it all. Really worth the read if only for the story, but don't worry because this manga has so much more to offer in terms of visuals and drawing as well. Akebi-chan's Sailor Uniform is a beautifully drawn manga.
Something I also really like is that this series doesn't shy away from the possibility of girls being in love with girls. Sure when Akebi was on her quest to figure out what love is the other characters assumed she had started crushing on a non-descript guy and the example of romantic love given to Akebi by her classmate Nawashiro was that of a previous boyfriend, but later on Akebi certainly does catch on that that same Nawashiro Yasuko is feeling something that might be called love for Washio Hitomi.
And that is what makes this series really a lot better than most other subtext series in my opinion (to the extent this series will stay subtext as it seems to be strongly hinting about Akebi and Erika). Regardless whether or not this series stays subtext or becomes fully Yuri doesn't all that much matter to me, it'd be great if Akebi and Erika do actually end up falling for eachother of course, but this series works regardless of Subtext or Yuri, and I really wouldn't think less of it for staying subtext (even if I would love it, if it stepped up haha).
My first thought on reading this series was "wow Akebi sure feels like she's going to be everyone's childhood crush" and I did not realise how true that would ring. I love her as the main character of this manga because like I said earlier she shines like the sun and uplifts everyone around her through it. I eagerly await more chapters as this series has catapulted itself into one of my favorite reads of the year as of yet.
