/Review

(This is more of word vomit)

This was the second series I read from Kishi Torajirou. Before that was Otome no Teikoku, which I binged the day before. I was lowkey surprised to find out he used to write “mature” shit like this before working on OnT. I mean Maka-Maka, Bloody Mary, Kissing Mars. And he did it really well, maybe that's why he started OnT to take a break.

The characters are really beleivable. I can totally beleive that a gurl like Yukari would exist and take the course of actions she has. Her realizing her feeling for Miki over time is kinda bittersweet. Her relationship with Miki started in the first place with Miki wanting to learn more about love from her. Since Yuakri puts up the persona of being mature and experienced. Eventually Miki does get a boyfriend, and when Yukari finds out she decides to take Miki's "innocence" away and kiss her. Its sad asl, Yukari keeps getting heartbroken and probably hasnt ecperienced the love that Miki imagines.
