Series Blurb

edit
Fashionable and upbeat high schooler Aya falls head over heels for an employee at a local CD shop. He’s got an air of mystery about him, always dressed well, and has impeccable taste in music. Little does she know—this supposedly male employee is actually her female classmate Mitsuki! Mitsuki generally keeps to herself, but since her seat is right next to Aya’s, she can't help but be extremely aware of the other’s crush. Revealing the truth is out of the question—but perhaps getting closer to Ay...

Great art, great story, worth the hype

No furigana.

Easy to read if you're used to highschool settings, the plot is great and the art is really expressive and looks really cool.

this one's for the wlws

first, i just wanna warn that there is quite a bit of casual speech, which can be difficult for language learners who haven't spent a lot of time in the presence of native speakers. so be aware of that.

second... the yearning... i devoured this book in two days because i was so in love with the story, and that's even with stopping every 20 pages or so to do a kanji lookup for the words i'd circled while reading. another reviewer mentioned that this story has four-page "chapters" or scenes at a

I actually think this one is a bit tougher than its current ranking (22) but we'll see where it ends up. There is a lot of slang in this one, moreso than other high school aged-led books I've read I think, but the vocab is not as tricky as I was anticipating. There were quite a few sentences I had to reread a few times to fully get what was being said though, so I would rate it on the more difficult side of the stuff I've read recently.

The series is off to a great start with this volume. The chapters are all 4 pages long. Usually this format doesn't appeal to me, but here it worked really well. Additionally, it has a really unique aesthetic due to the green color used along with the typical black and white. The story is really cute, and honestly if it wasn't for the cliffhanger type of ending I may have given it 5/5.

Note that the manga is available for free on the author's Twitter. There is some extra content in the volume t

i enjoyed this one a lot ^^

at the reading level, not too difficult. very casual language, which sometimes made me stumble. fun vocab applicable to my interests. who'd have guessed that レッチリ is Red Hot Chili Peppers? :D

interesting to see characters with piercings and tattoos, and seeing them navigate between fitting in at school at expressing themselves. would love to see more of this story.
