A delightful story about friendship with exquisitely sprinkled in fanservice. The comedy was mostly hit or miss for me but even when I didn't find a particular chapter funny I still enjoyed the character development and/or the friendship slowly building between the four girls. Shion especially was a great example, due to her being mostly portrayed as a spoiled ojousama I was worried that she was gonna be essentially a ball and chain with a cute face, constantly causing some sort of bullshit to happen but never getting in trouble due to everyone else being so passive, but instead she grows quite well and even ifshe was still mostly useless she still served as a great mood booster for the group.

The story is overall about the bonds between people and that "independence" can lead to isolation. Sure it's nice when you don't have to worry about yourself ever possibly dying or just having the general ability to live on thanks to your personal knowledge and skills, but if you live life all on your own you tend to feel...empty.

Like what are you even living for, who are you even living for.

Homare learns the meaning of human relationships and starts to realize that the three girls she's met are much more than just friends, they're girls who have taught her what life truly means and that she can be no longer satisfied eating cicadas on her own, she wants to share and talk and laugh and bond, deep down, she really just wants to be a highschool girl.
