I'm only writing this because, for some odd reason, this has no reviews at all. I'm not one for writing reviews, so please bear with me. Idk what I'm doing lol.
This is a short and concise manga, which I think is a huge plus both in general but especially when discussing larger philosophical motifs. Keeping the storyline short allows for the mangaka to focus more centrally on the emotions and ideas they wish to convey, without distraction. Typically, this works very well. In this manga, though, it unfortunately does not. I will get into that below.
Art: 10/10 Incredibly beautiful yet soft and without intricate detail.

It is somehow both striking and calm.
Characters: 7/10 We don't learn much about any specific character, which is a shame but feels rather intentional. The entire story has an air of simplicity even though the topic is not, which could explain why there are no characters with strong emotional conviction.
Story: 6.5/10 This is where the short and sweet story failed. Due to it being only 13 chapters, there was not enough time or space within the pages to give us deeper context. I wish we were provided a little more backstory as to how the world came to be women-dominated. I wish we got tiny snippets of the main group's past (and I mean, half a page's worth even). It was hard to get emotionally attached or involved in the manga due to the surface-level storytelling, despite its interesting premise.
Overall: 7/10 Decent read, super short so there's less room for a worse score, and amazing artwork. Worth to read for the artwork alone, in my opinion.
