This Woman Who Never Grew Up meets Girl Who Grew Up Too Fast creates a nice, unusual dynamic. The callback happened a little too quickly for my taste, but Tsugumi's "waiting" line is so good that I couldn't be bothered to care. Right now Midori is often thinking of Haru as "so much like her mother," it'll be very interesting if the story decides to explore the implications of that further.
As for the Yuri
tag discussions. Frankly, I don't care if the story is Yuri
beyond the degree to which this reflects on the tags we've chosen. The series is labeled Yuri
on Pixiv, where its serialization runs. The series is advertised - in some places - as a yuri manga, and is sold - in some places - in the yuri section. These categorizations are not perfect - many times the Yuri
label in Japan encompasses stories that wouldn't fit our criteria. That said, I do not presently intend to defy the Word of God without sufficient evidence. As of yet, no such evidence appears to exist. The tags will remain as they are for the time being.
On a separate note if you like this series! Consider supporting the artist by purchasing it on Amazon Japan or your preferred Japanese retailer, thank you!
