SORA the RunawaY's manga / #drama(53)

Don't mind the scenes or the art. Very aesthetic. With that being said, as a lesbian who has watched A LOT of lesbian films, I can see where they grasped they're inspiration. Some of the love scenes remind me of loves scenes from several lesbian films I've seen over the years but regardless of that, this is worth the read. The loves scenes aren't out of place and don't take away from the over all story which is one of the things I look for when reading yuri. In fact, the primary reason I don't like reading yaoi is because it is primarily based on XXX scenes and it overwhelmes the actual plotline. But most true yuri are done very aesthetically and with great storylines aside from hentai lol. Still, I am most likely quite biased on the subject.

This is the only manga by Moto that I have come to regret reading. I don't approve of this relationship or the huge age gap. It takes away from the story. Not only that but I have read other yuri manga where the main character falls for the teacher but it is done correctly due to their age gap and the teachers profession. While stories like Beloved and WDTFS pull me in regardless of the age gap because they are legal consensual relationships, this does not do that for me. Luckily, everything else I've read by this Mangaka has been excellent.

Oh my god... This is such a beautiful story. The dynamics between the characters, the love each of them have for each other, the appreciation they each share for each other... This is beyond words with the likes and feels of works like Ali Hana or Beloved and art that goes with the story line so aesthetically. I love this and will never stop.

Kinda disappointing actually. I didn't mind the time play, but the rest of the story was kinda plain and at times with what they did while time froze it was a bit much and didn't match with the rest of the story. Just how I feel personally. I do like how simple the art style is but it was a bit too rough at times as well. When I think of simple art styles that match up with their story but also add to the depth of the story, I think more along the lines of Asagao To Kase-san or Aoi Hana or Liberty, I will most likely not think of this story. Nor will I read it again. For just a random in-between manga, it's an ok story, but not at all as good as I expected it to be after the hype. Just a run of the mill story with a few things that stand out, yet still not enough to truly grasp my attention. There are plenty of other yuri manga/manhua/manhwa I would read in preference over to this.

It's rare to find a yuri manga that tackles so many subjects in such a short amount of time. Nowadays, it tends to be coming out, coming of age, building a relationship or just showing how their life is and this manga managed to tackle all those subjects and then some. It was surprisingly uplifting, in a way, to see the main character changing so much in such a short amount of time. It takes many women a majority of their twenties to fully mature and know who they are, even with help and she manages to do so before even meeting her twenties. This is a story that leaves out all the cutsie things we have come to know and love from yuri and tackles the real matters at hand. How can I be a better person for myself but also for the person I love most. This shows another side to maturity and it dazzles the reader with all the love, care and life lessons that go into a relationship regardless of if that person is a woman or a man. Excellently crafter work of art. A recommendation I'd make to any yuri fan out there.
