This is my first review, hope it will be useful ^^
About the manga
The manga began airing in 2012 and is coming out every two months. When I am writing this review, there are 7 chapters out. About the artist.. well he's not that well-known and his works are mainly made in shoujo, drama and romantic genre. Out of his works, this is the greatest.
The story
Aihara Yuzuko is a fashionable, typical city-girl whose starting to attend a new school because her mother recently remarried. Yuzuko's goal is to fill in the school and finally find love. What she doesn't know is that the school is not
...
co-ed, it's a girls-only school with very strict rules. So, she can't look for a boyfriend and the student council is often picking up on her because of her look. On the very first day Aihara Mei, the the president of the student council is taking her phone... well, not in a common way. She hugs her and takes it under Yuzuko's shirt. This shocks Yuzuko a bit, by this I mean she falls to the ground totally embarrassed. Later it's revealed that Mei is her new step-sister and they will live together, they also have to sleep together. At night Yuzuko tells Mei that she saw Mei kiss Amamiya-sensei (a handsome male teacher) today at school and tells her opinion about how a real kiss should be (I mean emotically) and then Mei kisses Yuzuko. After this Yuzuko falls in love with Mei.
There's a lot of drama and a strange love from Mei (if we can call it love) which confuses Yuzuko's feelings. On top of it, she's not experienced in love, so she has no idea what to do to make their relationship to a "real" love.
Characters
Aihara Yuzuko: a plain-spoken, brave and cheeky girl. She often wears clothes that violate the school rules so she gets in trouble with the student council quite often. She seems to be a little rude towards Mei, but only becaude she likes her. Her best friend is Harumin.
Aihara Mei: president of the student council, good student, the grandchild of the school president. She is cold and serious with people, but she has a reason for that. She is always calmed, composed and very mature. At first we don't know much about her and Yuzuko gets the wrong idea about her when they first meet, but this will change. It seems that she's hard to get close to, but later it's revealed that she's very lonely, this makes Yuzuko want to take care about her.
Harumi Taniguchi: Yuzuko's best friend, lively and attentive. They are similar with Yuzuko, none of them are good students. She always helps Yuzuko.
My opinion
A well developed, detailed and cute manga which has a beautiful art. Yuri mangas like this are rare, you can't find something like this every day. I could compare it to Girl Friends, even though it's not as popular as GF.
My inner fan of yuri would vote the manga a 10/10, but I have to stay at 9/10, because I don't like Mei's attitude.
I highly recommend to read it for everyone who likes this genre, you won't regret. ^^
