When filling out the 2024 Yuri elections, I was trying to think of my all-time favorites, and my mind came to this one. I think this was the very first yuri series I really fell in love with. I was a teen when I found it, but it was probably the first time I'd read anything with adult women, living life, loving and supporting each other (though looking now and knowing they're only 24...... OTL ) To re-read this now, I'm happy to see it's still as sweet as I remember, and thank you so much to the other commenters that helped me finally read the ending ;-;
Chapters 21-26 comments:
La Fin de Girlhood has to be my favorite chapter now; I'd always wondered the reason Shinobu cut her hair, but the way she explained it was so real and makes her current style all the more meaningful.
The final page of the series is so simple and it took me a second to appreciate it, but the final lines are them finally saying how much they love each other. Every other chapter ends with affirmations of their love, but they were always internal. So the fact they were both able to actually say, out loud, they want to spend the rest of their lives together I just ;-; I'm so happy for them. But the way the speech bubbles were overlapped, it looked like another thought bubble at first glance and I totally missed the meaning.
