Hot damn, what a read.

Finished a reread of the entire series. Still a classic

Probably my favorite of the series so far; the central story is compelling and very tight, while also having enough room that everything feels fleshed out even under 100 pages.

Exceptional

Took a little bit to get going, but hit it's stride pretty well by the end of the first book.

for a limited run series this manages to wrap up in a way that's both appropriate and satisfying, without being entirely saccharine.

Staggeringly sweet, charming art and charters, and more nuance than you'd expect...with only a handful of pages that are explicitly racy, the cover and series title are still raunchy enough to make you hide it when reading on public transit

Anthologies can be a great way to tease out a premise or character, but this collection served mostly to highlight how many yuri storylines have the same basic premise(person 1 has a one-sided crush on coworker/classmate/customer) and the fact that many of the stories are under 10 pages doesn't help. Lots of good art and character designs, and a few very effective shorts, but for the most part repetitive.

there is a reason this series is considered a classic of the genre...great character designs and art overall, with fairly complicated characters, even if the premise is cringe/problematic to say the least...

Overall a decent story that could have been a good deal stronger with some additional work/editing. The art isn't /great/ but it's effective enough(I'm all for minimalism as a way to emphasize the emotional isolation of the characters, but in places it felt sparse enough to just feel unfinished).

Still, there aren't that many yuri centered around working age folks, much less ones with this age disparity, so it's notable at least in that regard.

Striking character designs and really charming. Very little going on in the B-plot so far, and probably a bit by-the-numbers for some, but worked quite well for me.

extremely compelling, in spite of(because?) of the off-putting premise even...
