I think I enjoyed this one. It certainly had a more melancholic and pessimistic tone than most series I read but it was a good experience to watch unfold. It pretty much ended as I expected it too, with Aya and Tsukiko parting ways after they graduate and eventually meeting again later, and I think I’m ok with that. After read up to chapter 9 around a month ago, I had the feeling this wouldn’t be yuri but the art was just so captivating that I couldn’t stop reading.
It really got me thinking of the friends I’ve had who have parted ways with me. It gives a person a lot to think about regarding the relationships they have with the people in their lives. It presents a choice to the reader, to be the distant and indifferent Tsukiko or the persistent and personable Aya. Or at least that’s my interpretation. Maybe after Covid is over, I’ll see if some old buddies wanna grab a drink. However, I absolutely see why this series gets a lot of hate. It was a hard to follow a lot of the time, the story really doesn’t go anywhere and the characters literally do not develop at all throughout the story. There is no change in Aya and Tsukiko’s relationship from chapter 1 all the way to chapter 19. But even so, I still think I might call this one of my favourites
Also the ocean is awesome so I like it
