This is an okay Manga, theres some minor homophobia in the beginning that I really feel like it could have be dealt with differently and with a bit more of an explaination or justification?

It's a bit simplistic and reliant upon coincidences, but at least it leads to a satisfying confrontation toward the end.

This herky-jerky, French-produced knock-off of yuri manga was just too awkward for me to get into. High school freshman Azami has a crush on basketball playing junior Gwyn, who is not the boy Azami thinks she is -- in an unlikely and long-running case of mistaken identity. But it's a tomboy thing, not a transgender thing, and maybe not a lesbian thing so much as a pansexual thing?

The situation and the writing are a muddle for a lot of the book, leaving me bored and confused.

There seemed to be some course correction near the end, but there was also the introduction of a ridiculously villainous romantic rival, so that came out as a wash. I'm hesitant in this choice, but I'm going to try the second volume.… (mer)
