A yuri with a surprisingly heavy message. (The following is revealed in the first chapter so don't worry about spoilers.) The premise of the plot is that a disease has killed all of the men and only women remain, with humanity surviving only through artificial insemination. Surprisingly, society is still gender separated, with women being divided into "Adams" and "Eves." Adams are assigned male roles and Eves are assigned female roles. The story follows Aoi, an Adam whose goal is to overturn the status quo and get revenge (what for is something you should read for yourself). He especially hates the etoiles, the elites of society.Unexpectedly, at his time with the school, he develops a friendship with one of them. What this friendship grows and develops into is something you'll have to see for yourself. But of course, this story is tagged "yuri" for a reason.

Overall, I found the plot to be quite interesting. The obstacles they faced were not trivial. Despite hating the "antagonist" from the beginning, I eventually realized that no one was truly evil. Everyone had their own reasons and their own motivations. I enjoyed the conclusion as well. In many ways, it follows a "school yuri" format. In all significant aspects, however, it is definitely something different. I found the pacing to be very reasonable.

The art is fine, it did not distract me from the main story.

I appreciated the characters. The side characters were especially enjoyable.

It might be weird for some people as this story is almost a "yaoi relationship within a yuri relationship." However, for me, it is definitely yuri.

The themes of the story especially impacted me. Like how, in a world with only one sex, there still can be discrimination and limitations on who we can love. The backstories on some of the parents of the characters were especially sad. It's also a commentary on how not following social constructions as arbitrary as the ones in the story (dividing the female gender into two separate genders) can cause us to be left out and shunned. And, of course, similar to many other yuri mangas, this story is also a testament to the powers of love.

Anyway, sorry about this rambling and this non-traditional review. Despite being only 17 chapters, this manga ranks as one of my favorites.
