I picked this book up and I read it all in one sitting. I have to say it's really good! The characters are great. It doesn't focus on high school students, but two young adults living on their own. It deals with real life issues. I got into it and loved it! Then I found out that this is a one-shot manga...

I'm pretty sad that there are great characters, a good setting, and great ideas thrown into this and be made a one-shot with four chapters.

Anyways good book!
8/10 it's staying on my shelf to be read again!

I'm happy that this manga focuses on adults in the working world instead of highschoolers because I feel lesbian representation in manga is often overwhelmingly in school settings.

This story well addressed not only lesbianism and homophobia but sexism in the workplace as in Japan, they call it the "bamboo ceiling" for a reason.

I also liked the inclusions of the general gay woman experience that was added into the story that would be very relatable for lots of lesbian and bisexual readers (like myself). The storyline was very realistic and I could see this happening in real life. I'm glad the author made such ... an authentic story.

This is manga is a short and sweet read that closes itself up nicely for only having 3 chapters. It does not leave the viewer "needing" more. I really enjoy these types of short reads.

A cute one shot that is a tad average. The short story at the end, Anaerobic Love, was a waste of time.

The main story is relatively light hearted. Unfortunately, while the plot is decent and the art is nice, without going a bit further into the plot and lacking character development, the story is rather flat.

I did enjoy that it was about adult women, and I enjoyed that they worked in different industries (rather than both being generic OLs). I also enjoyed Machi learning to do what she wanted, rather than do whatever her family said. Machi standing up to her mother when she ... insulted Hana was wonderful. It was realistic too - one male employee comments that the job should go to a man, even if he isn't as talented, simply because Machi MIGHT get married and have kids one day. Blegh.

I feel with a few more chapters this could have been really amazing.
