it was amazing

I genuinely cannot recommend this series enough. This series is very well written and has an absolutely beautiful art style that I think only Akebi’s Sailor Uniform can compete with in the modern romance manga genre. I’ve personally been reading this series via scanlation since very early on, so finally having an official English release I can hold in my hands and a very well made one at that is just wonderful.

Now to the story itself: Aya Oosawa is a fairly popular gyaru in her High School, but she feels lonely due to her feeling she must hide her love of western rock music as her friends usually don’t understand the appeal and it makes her feel like an outsider when it comes up. One day she stumbles across a rundown music store where she meets an enigmatic and attractive young man who shares her musical passion. She falls head over heels at their first meeting.

Mitsuki Koga is a quiet and unassuming young woman who has no friends and is very socially awkward. But Mitsuki has a secret; she has a deep love for music, especially western rock music that was instilled in her by her adoring Uncle Joe. Uncle Joe owns a music shop where Mitsuki works part-time, this is her comfort zone so she dresses the way she is most comfortable; in a punkish traditionally masculine style all in black and grunge styles with piercings and a tattoo. One day while working like usual when her desk neighbor in home room, a popular gyaru, who shows an equal passion for the same music�

This is the beginning of a very sweet and slow burning sapphic love story that explores the themes of self discovery, changing relationships, and identity just to name a few with highly relatable characters despite the cultural differences. You won’t be disappointed with this series.
