I don't care if the male stays for all 5 volumes, this charming, beautiful, cliche of a yuri is just what I like.
Hard to call it cliche since a male is, indeed, present.
I get where the hate for that comes from, but it just seems so baseless. Like, if the story still ends up girl x girl, a good, real guy present makes it so much better. It makes it even more real. Everyone has their own preference, which I get, but I don't think it would be either incorrect or rude of me to call attention to the possibility of it being ill-conceived.
