why am i contemplating pre-ordering this and getting it shipped to me from japan when i can BARELY read Japanese?
it's just so cute and fun. i also want every single one of their outfits.
reread: i was thinking about how out of all the books and romances i read this year there were very few i actually enjoyed (or had fun hating -- honestly there were more of those). so, i reread this instead of studying for my exams, still worth purchasing, still cute, still impatiently waiting for every update, still want all of their outfits

No voy a hacer una reseña extensa porque de los cómics, novelas gráficas y parecidos no me gusta hacerlas, pero quiero explicar mejor mi punto de vista sobre esta obra.
No retiro lo que dije sobre que pienso que es un poquito mamadora a la hora de juzgar los gustos de personas que no escuchan gente muerta, pero quiero que quede claro que, pese a eso, es muy buena.
Como amante de la música reconozco que esta es una buena manera de generar curiosidad hacia aquellas bandas y artistas que hoy en día sirven de inspiración para muchísimos (si te gustan o no, no dice nada sobre tu buen gusto musical); la historia de amor y amistad que surge entre las protagonistas se siente muy natural y fluida. ¿A qué me refiero con "natural"? A que los malos entendidos no son sacados de una alcantarilla, sino que tienen cierto sentido dentro del contexto y no se alargan más de lo necesario y lógico; yo que paso la mayor parte del tiempo vestida como vagabunda y a veces me maquillo y me quito los lentes, puedo comprender que alguien no reconozca a otra persona por el simple hecho de cambiar de look. 👍🏼
Los personajes secundarios son simpáticos, aunque por ahora no hay mucho de ellos. Espero que más adelante pueda conocerlos mejor porque ya saben cuánto amo a los personajes secundarios. Aunque para ser sincera no me quedó claro si habrán otras entregas jajaja Eso es todo.

Aya is a pretty, popular high school girl whose only unusual trait is her taste in retro western rock and indie music. Her love of this music leads her into a CD shop where she develops a bit of crush on the cute dark haired boy who works behind the counter. Little does she know that this "boy" is one and the same as the girl she sits next too in school! Mitsuki has always marched to the beat of her own drum; she's loved rock, dressed mostly in all black boys clothes, and struggled to find anyone who shares her interests her whole life. I LOVED the art in this comic, and I'm already so hooked on the sweet, nuanced friendship (or more?) between these little alternative teens.

all hail brat yuri manga

I'm 100% the problem here, because stories that revolve around music are apparently just lost on me. The art is very pretty and the girls are cute, though.

“I could hear the sound of my beat and someone else’s merging together in perfect sync.”
I’ve finally started the infamous green yuri I’ve seen so many people talk about. Super sweet story set in high school with the message that you can’t always judge someone based on their appearance, and that you should wholeheartedly embrace who you are even if you don’t quite fit with everyone else’s jam. There will always be someone who gets you and will love you as you are.
Aya and Mitsuki’s relationship is just beginning to bloom. I love to see that sexuality isn’t a struggle in this manga. I do love stories that explore the struggles with being gay, but sometimes a lighthearted lesbian story is a breath of fresh air. I’m excited to see how their relationship progresses and how they further bond over their shared love of music.

Aya’s a fashionable gyaru type, except her taste in music runs to American rock and alternative. The only one who gets it is the guy at the music store, except that would actually be Mitsuki, her withdrawn female classmate who sits beside her…
I’d have to go back through a lot of books to confirm this, so I won’t, but I am still reasonably certain that this is the best first volume of a school-set yuri since Failed Princesses and it’s not even close.
Everything here just works. It’s got a tried and true premise: the fashionable gal and the social outcast start having the feels (shades of Failed Princesses!), except the gal thinks the other girl is the hot dude working at the music store she frequents. Together they make one another better.
For starters, I really love the colour scheme, which adds an omnipresent layer of green amidst the black and white that really makes the incredible artwork pop even harder. Except for Aya’s friend, who appears to have eyebrow eyebrows, there isn’t a page of this that doesn’t look good.
Beyond being a very satisfying yuri, this is a love letter to rock specifically and the bonds that can be formed by sharing music in general. Playlists may have taken over mixtapes these days, but this sort of connection has thrived for decades. These are two people who fit in to varying extents, but aren’t free to be themselves unless music is involved (and even then, Aya gets a lot of pushback from her ‘trendy’ friends).
Yes, you have to accept the notion that Aya can’t figure out that Mizuki is the “guy” at the record store she sees every day, although they do sell this at least more plausibly than Otaku x Punk ever does. Still, it is absolutely one of those conceits that feels like it would collapse in a second and it isn’t as drawn out as it could have been.
Poor Mizuki just wants to keep her head down, but she can’t stop catching feels and her flirt game quietly betrays a side of her she seems to have not quite realized she has. Aya is also grappling with this notion of friendship meaning more than that when the jig is finally up.
The story flows organically and it’s also a lot of fun rather than a full anxiety fest. These are two people coming together because of one thing, but both are hiding aspects of themselves. Aya is just more capable when it comes to fitting in, but both of them lose their chill around one another frequently.
Even the predictable stuff is reasonable because of how it’s presented. I absolutely love the way that Aya finds out about Mizuki, which would be really sweet if it didn’t totally blindside her. And when Aya’s friends start to treat her kind of rough, it’s believable because it’s been signposted for an age.
This is just a crackerjack love story for any gender - Mizuki’s apology late in the volume is a stunner - it just happens to be between two girls. It doesn’t shy away from its yuri side, but it would be strong either way.
Wonderfully expressive, with solid gags and great characters. It uses the music side really well to show what brings these two together and their individual personalities to slowly bring them closer still. To say they’re easy to root for is an understatement.
5 stars - I would be reading the next volume literally this second if it was available. It is simply fantastic from start to finish and doesn’t do a thing wrong in my eyes. Loved it.

Feels like a gl version of Horimiya. Nevertheless, it's a breath of fresh air, and I loved every second I'm in this world!! The art style stole my heart, too!! THIS IS JUST SO SO GOOD. I mean, it's my first time reading a gl—and it's this good?! Wow.

Aya is so real for having a crush on Mitsuki. Same.
THE PREMISE: the cool girl at school has a crush on the hot CD store “guy”, who’s actually the quiet awkward girl she sits next to in class every day.
TROPES & VIBES:
- Sapphic manga / graphic novel
- Slow paced slice of life
- The black and green art style is gorgeous. I’m obsessed with it
- Lots of 90s rock references
- The vibes are cool as hell.
4.5⭐️
