pop team epic if they had a bigger budget
For real i love this noir reimagining

The artwork is very pretty (even though i'm not a particular fan of enormously huge boobs) and the story knows what it is trying to say and is not trying be bigger than it actually is. I've been enjoying the storylines so far.

I have seen people saying it is just fanservice but for real the relationship between Yorino and Youko is actually very interesting and well buildup. It has received attention by the author since the beginning and is a huge focus of the story to the point that their connection might mean something essential for their survival and for them to reach their objectives and all. I just hope that after all this emotional intimacy that was construcuted by Yorino and Youko we'll have them to be together and alive at the end. Look i just can't stand the bury your gays trope anymore let the lesbians live for gods sake.

@Norainhere i believe some dynamics are very much "friends to enemies" type, so we just added the "to lovers?" at the end to give some spice to it. Cassandra is implied to not be straight throughout the series, both for her relationship with Rapunzel, for not having a male love interest and for literally laughing at the idea of being with a men. The strong loyalty and friendship Rapunzel and Cassandra have towards each other was too awesome not to ship it. Also, their relationship and the Sun and Moon symbolism related to them is kinda similar Himeko and Chikane's from Kannazuki no Miko (except for the extremely bad plot decisions the mangaka decided to take :/)

nice

some might say it is a crack ship, but for real though, it certainly has potential to be an amazing slow burn, with them relating to and understanding each other and healing together from their traumas. Firstly, it could follow a rivals-to-friends-to-lovers trope, like, Asuka sees Rei as an obstacle to become the best and assossiates Rei with the doll her mother had, and Rei doesn't see the point of friendship since it is not her reason to exist and was discouraged from having emotions. Secondly, Asuka and Rei are polar opposites externally, both in color palettes (it's in the character design my dudes) and personalities, where Asuka externally releases her emotions and Rei represses them. Last but not least, they share similarities as well, as both Rei and Asuka have been trough similar hard times and traumas fighting Angels and dealing adults manipulating them, they both need to learn to express what they feel and think better, they both were trained from the beginning to be pilots and think that they are replaceable (Asuka by thinking she will not be the best pilot and people notgiving her affection and praise, Rei by thinking she's just an object and a clone among many). But yeah im biased because i love this type of dynamic and drama in a ship.
