As of writing this, only 1 chapter has been translated. So I will base the review only on that.

Judging by the tags, you should already be aware what you're getting into: A high-school yuri romance.

The story seems pretty straight-forward and fast paced. The first chapter already covers days, potentially weeks (not really clear). Personality-wise, one of them is the typical small, bubbly and cute kind of person, while the other one has more of a cool and serious (but not cold) persona. Overall I really like the chemistry between both, they seem straightforward and direct in a way which makes me hope that it's not ... going to turn out in an eternal back and forth until some progress happens.

The art is nice as well, nothing out of the ordinary though, it's your typical modern shoujo-ish art-style. I find it very pleasant to look at.

Perhaps not really worth picking up as long as only 1 chapter is translated, but it's worth bookmarking in my opinion.

As of reading, there are 9 chapters translated afaik, so I'll write this with that in mind.

Do you like tiny, ridiculously small yuri hands? How about moeblobs? Transparent ripoffs of Haruhi Suzumiya characters? Chibi high schoolers that look like they're literally nine years old? Well, we have that here. At least I didn't have to watch them have sex, I suppose, so there's that. I hate to say it, but I really had to force myself with this one, and I pretty much only held back from dropping it because I wanted to review it fairly.

Anyway... this was mediocrity incarnated into manga form. It has ... cute stuff aplenty, and apparently people eat that up, but it's that empty, banal kind of cute you can find literally anywhere. The translation is poor quality, and from my mediocre knowledge of Japanese translation, it seemed like the underlying writing wasn't great to begin with. Other than that, it's an incredibly basic 'cute girls do cute things' manga, with some vague pretense of being Girls' Love. It's not tagged as such on here, so I'm guessing that goes absolutely nowhere, but other places do have it tagged as shoujo ai. Either way, it has essentially nothing going for it besides 'd'aww precious cinnamon rolls', and you can find those anywhere, so I can't rate it higher than a five for that. The engrish and the fact that one of the main characters is literally a transparent copy of Yuki Nagato from the Haruhi Suzumiya series, felt like enough to knock at least one more point off.

If you want to try to cure your depression, maybe give it a shot if you can handle Engrish and sickening moeblobs. Just watch out, because it might end up curing your insomnia instead.
