Ayaka hasn¡¯t been saying no to Sora for ages now, but their relationship sure has changed as this volume closes out their adventures together.

It certainly took some weird turns at the start, but this really mellowed out, perhaps a little too much so, as it went. I¡¯ve been calling this froth for several volumes now and I won¡¯t be changing that description here at the end.

Things might just be a little too straightforward. There¡¯s no conflict here, honestly, or any amazing relationship on the page that makes you invested to read more. It¡¯s just two girls dating. Which is fine, but a little banal.

If you just want cute moments, sure, it¡¯s full of them. Sora baking cookies for Ayaka is terribly charming, they go on their school trip, they sneak little moments together, they plan their future.

It¡¯s very frictionless entertainment. The writing is competent, the art is pretty okay, and it has a good ending that wraps everything up in a reasonably enjoyable package. Sora is now less lonely and Ayaka learns to pursue her own dreams for herself.

Even coming out to their friends is incredibly painless, although bonus points for not having every pairing of females hook up at the end. Our dear side couple steals a lot of their scenes, as they have a lot more passion than our leads.

It¡¯s not a bad read and if you like Ayaka and Sora together you¡¯ll really enjoy this as they progress their relationship. It¡¯s just nothing special in terms of yuri or romance, for my money, and I don¡¯t know that I¡¯ll ever pull this off the shelf and re-read it.

3.5 stars - round up if you were really into these two, round down if you found it a bit wanting. A competent and decently done series that quickly filed off all its edges along the way.
