An All Time Classic
This was one of the first ever yuri manga I read when I was first getting into the genre forever ago. I read it in English back then and decided to give it a re-read in Japanese now. While it shows its age in some parts, it still holds up great today and is a must read for anyone who is into yuri.
Its one of those stories where the popular girl takes interest in the shy/innocent girl and they become friends and eventually it blossoms into more. The story itself isn't revolutionary but the author does a great job making you fall in love with the cast of characters. The art is very nice and expressive as well. There's a few scenes about trying on outfits, different styles etc and they're all adorable.
There is a lot of slangy high school girl talk in the manga but if you're used to that, I don't think the manga is that difficult. There is almost no furigana in the manga but if you're used to high school romance settings, the vocabulary shouldn't be challenging.
Even if you aren't into yuri, I think this is an all time classic in the romance genre in general and definitely worth a read.
