SORA the RunawaY's manga / #School life(85)

Insanely excellent!! Oh, the feels!! A yuri manga I would recommend to all yuri readers and to any looking to get into the genre. Beautifully done and it has stolen my heart. This is a story with lots of love, including unrequited love, but also about finding oneself and becoming the person who is meant to be.

Momono Moto has only disappointed me once and this was not it. Beautiful words, aesthetic drawings, an excellent concept well executed.

Technically, shoujo ai is not a genre affiliated with Yuri. It actually is something completely different and the only actual Yuri genres are "Yuri", " GL" and "lesbian". With that being said, this Yuri is an eloquently told story of coming of age and finding out that love takes many forms. I also love how it does not approach the subject of a lesbian relationship as taboo or off putting. Rather, Yamada is more surprised than anything else at this new feeling she has and even more surprised when it is given back to her. Beautiful storytelling at its best.

While when I first started reading this I thought it was going to be just another ecchi manga, it changed my mind. Yes, of course it has its ecchi moments but it really speaks to the reader and envelops them into the story in whole. I particularly love Ai and Chie's relationship. It's cute but also very realistic of high school girlfriends and really tugs at my heart strings! There are also others who have quite the interesting stories but I'm not gonna lie and say I haven't been reading this wanting to see how Ai and Chie will fall even deeper in love. Great!

So friggin adorably perfect. Glad I stuck with it to the end! Gentle, bubbly and just what anyone who loves stories like Asagao to Kase-san or Aoi Hana.

What was the point of this?

This author really doesn't impress me.
