Finally the yuri is making its way to other genres, for a long time it was stuck only in romance and slice of life so more people will be interested in the Girls love ❤

Okay, for real though, was this inspired in any way by Strugatsky's "Roadside Picnic"? Because i saw this being meme'd as anime S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

*sigh* What a bad time for this show to air. The Winter season is filled with sequels of popular shows and I guarantee y'all this show is going to get overshadowed big time 😔

It looks like it's going to be another yuri anime that I'll enjoy, as well. I'm still pretty excited for this show, nonetheless but I don't think a lot of people are going to notice this show 😭
