OnlyMes's manga / #friendship(3)

I think I'll always rate anything from this artist with high marks but Maka Maka was one of the OG yuris for me. Like, the yuri that started my obsession. If you haven't heard of Maka Maka or the artist, you've been missing out. Beautiful full color manga on each page and incredible (yet simple and sweet) storytelling. It really focuses in on how platonic relationships can still be just platonic even if there are sexual activities involved. The artist seems to try to makes the readers understand how much Nene and Jun (the two main protagonists) love one another. A love that goes deeper than friendship and even partnership. A very simple and easy read, smut in (almost) every chapter so be mindful where you read it. It'll be one for the books, one of those yuris you'll keep revisiting throughout the years because the artwork and the story are just that beautiful. This is a must read for yuri lovers.

A beautiful, breathtaking story about two women who had to learn to love and lose. Seiko was such a great character, strong, determined, steadfast, someone who knew what she want and when she wanted it. Having paired her with someone like Miwa, someone so timid and insecure and unsure of herself nearly broke my heart when Seiko admitted that Miwa was the strong one in their relationship. It really opened my eyes to how Seiko truly saw herself. She was the weak one, afraid of getting hurt or being let down so she set up these barriers to keep herself safe. I fell absolutely in love with this manga, the characters, the artwork, even the sidee characters. Everyone had such intricate stories and relationships and it only stands to reason that not every relationship is going to be perfect, not even with the person you're destined to be with. I loved seeing Seiko and Miwa grow and develop throughout this story, both becoming better versions of themselves, versions they knew the other needed. 10 out of 10 story for me.
