The main problem of this manga is that it is extremely chaotic

We have an incredibly interesting premise of the story-> school uniforms that are made from alumni hair. At the end of their education at this girls' school, the girls cut off their long and beautiful hair, which is then used as material to create clothes for the new 1st years. These clothes can breathe, think and feel.


Unfortunately, this interesting idea gets buried in endless chaos and episodic stories without any order or composition.

In fact, most of the chapters take place in different times. For example, in one we have to go 2 years back, only to end up with 3 years time-skip in the next. And that's a constant problem with this story. I had to reread some previous chapters just to get the idea what is the chronology....


Characters:
For the most part, they're generic: a girl playing the part of the school prince, a girl playing the part of the "queen", another one is isolated and doesn't really interact with people.... And of course there are love triangles, friendships and other all-girls schools stuff. And... there is also a pointless drama....

Nothing interesting but at the same time nothing bad. Just average.


Art:
If I have to name one feature of this manga that actually deserves a praise and mention, it's the artwork. It's really beautiful, I went back to many of the drawings several times because they were sooo lovely.

If you like the atmosphere of all-girls school, this manga definitely has this. And the quality of this atmosphere is really top tier.



Overall:
Sadly, even if the artwork and the premise are really good, I didn't really enjoy the story. It was just too chaotic. It had a high potential at first but it went downhill really fast. I recommend it only to people who crave for more and more yuri manga, otherwise, if you want a strong story, it's not a good idea to start this.

I was curious about this manga based on the premise and the artwork. When I started reading, I found it somewhat intriguing and was curious to see where it would go. Unfortunately, its peculiarity and nice art were not enough to get me to push through to the final chapters of the last volume. I came close, but I just couldn't do it. There is hardly any plot development per chapter and it often bounces around from chapter to chapter to different characters' points of view. This can work, and other series have used different characters' perspectives effectively, but I just didn't think it worked in this series.

For one thing, because all the characters have very long hair without much to differentiate them, it's hard to tell the characters apart. The characters also don't get much development, but just trying to figure out who was who took away from the reading experience for me. I've seen others describe the storytelling as "obtuse," which isn't a bad description. Plot points are fed to you in very small crumbs and while there's some mystery that's maintained that kept me somewhat curious, it just wasn't that exciting or revelatory.

Even though the volume covers depict girls in embrace, for a yuri/girls love series, there is very little emotion in this. The characters' relationships don't develop very much, you just kind of have to take their word for it that there's any love interest between them. There's no chemistry, no passion. As a result, it left me cold and I can't recommend it.
