This'll be quick, I'm more explaining my rating than anything else. The story here is solid but nothing too outstanding. It follows the arc of the genre pretty closely, without any major unexpected turns. But I do appreciate that we have a story about people in a more adult environment; it's nice to get (somewhat!) more mature characters than the usual high-school folks, so I'll avoid docking points for following type. The presence of certain other more grown-up plot elements (one small and one large) also helps set it apart from the teen-wangst competition. The real selling point here is the artwork, which is generally outstanding. Iwant to be able to draw with this much skill. There's a little bit of same-face syndrome, but I'll forgive it when the faces are so well-realized, with such beautiful fluid width changes to the main lines. And there is truly wonderful stuff going on here with framing of panels, use (and elision) of backgrounds, and most of all choice of angle. We get low shots, high shots, dynamic movement from our characters, all to great artistic effect--it's a primer for any aspiring cartoonist. These are the kinds of details that create mood and sell the emotional weight of the scenes, which does a lot to elevate a fairly conventional yuri story.

Characters are generally good, certainly likeable, but a little cliche. Oh look, a tsundere. But she's going for a woman this time! (I'm not spoiler-tagging this, it's a yuri comic, what did you think was going to happen?) The principal antagonist is also surprising and interesting, and pretty well-sketched, if under-developed.

I would have liked to see maybe another half a chapter.

All in all, a solid read if you've already read the stuff I rated higher.
