The fact that they are related, even if they are just siblings by marriage, is messed up, but I'm not gonna comment on that.

This show is about a romantic relationship between two girls. The problem is that it takes up on homophobia and the taboo of girl liking girl. But it feels like they start this conversation towards the end and never finishes it. Indeed, multiple time we can hear the characters saying that it's weird for a girl to like a girl (hi internalize homophobia) and when Sara appears she says that she likes whoever she likes, boy or girl it doesn't matter. They could have pass a great message. However what Sarah says doesn't hold much importance in the anime. There is one flashback to that, but the subject stays taboo and this is the only sentence stating that wlw relationship (women loving women) shouldn't be forbidden.

Other than that Sara and Nina were not well included in the story, which makes them appear as filler. Matsuri could've been a really good character, but we don't see enough of her. What does she really do? What was she doing the first time we saw her? Other than that she is well made.

This show questions love and relationship (what is really love?). And we can see Yuzu grow on that, she understands more and more what love is as the show goes. We also see a bit of family love with Mei and her relationship with her dad. However it was botched: we don't really see Mei and her stepmom interacting which is too bad and the talk Mei had with her father is like a dot in Mei's story.
And even if Yuzu's point on view on love has changed her relationship with Mei is just weird. First of all because they are related and live in the same house. Second of all because it's too pushed. Yuzu really insisted and you shouldn't harass someone to confess your love.

In the end I think the anime was too short, it looks shoddy. If it had been longer they could have make it work.
