Usually my reviews consist of "yeah i like it" and "eh it was..fine" but I'm going to really try and put into words how much enjoyed this short story.
Story: 10
A girl falls in love with a girl who doesn't love her the same way. It's sad, but happens all the time. I've fallen for a straight girl and let me tell you, it hurts. Yukari happens to fall in love with someone she other wised viewed as inferior. Two oppposites that attracted each other, but in a platonic way, not a romantic way like Yukari had hoped.
Characters: 10
Look, not much character development
...
is going to happen in 4 chapters, but enough DID happen. I enjoyed it. Yukari, a girl who comes from an overbearing mother that constantly puts the blame on her. She dates presumably for validation, thus why she begins to question her relationship with her boyfriend after she speaks with Sayama. Slowly Yukari takes interests in Sayama in a way that seems unexplainable to her. I meeaannnn...Sayama is fine ok, i don't blame Yukari for taking an interest LOL. Anyway, their friendship goes from Yukari saying stuff like, "pathetic virgin" to "i literally don't want anyone to touch you." Their relationship really sprouted mainly because Sayama wanted to learn about love, something she had been yearning for, and Yukari knew about it - well, I guess HER love isn't the best example but still. Sayama, who has quite the same relationship with her mother (expecting only the best of her, focus on studies, yknow the type of mom) hasn't had the opportunity to fall in love with anyone. Which falling in love happens to be her "childish dream." Sayama looks to Yukari for guidance.
Sayama got a boyfriend and Yukari reacted negatively because in her mind, she didn't want anyone to soil Sayama the same way Yukari had be soiled. Yukari didn't want Sayama to maybe experience the same "love" she had experienced with her boyfriend. It's sort of bittersweet, just as another reviewer said. Yukari's feelings had become increasingly stronger and hearing that Sayama got a boyfriend had shattered her and any hope that they could be together. In the end, Yukari DOES get something before they both eventually part their ways. It's sort of sad, especially when you realize that Yukari had probably never been loved in the same way that Sayama had explained love.

I personally just love the simplicity on the art style. its clean and i like it. plain and simple.
Enjoyment: 10
Lovely read! It's short and simple. straightforward. i liked it. but then again, i eat up anything that involves girls falling in love - even if they don't end up together.
