Customer Reviews

First comes peeving off the parents then comes love.

3 1/2* stars. This was a funny and fast read that gave me just enough to make me yearn for the next page. The relationship between the girls started out a little rocky but they found their footing rather quickly. I like seeing how opposites attract in this book, it's a favorite trope of mine, and everything about the relationship, especially Machi standing up to her mother in defense of Hana, felt real to me and I found myself rooting for them even though I didn’t feel particularly invested in the characters (most likely due to the shortness of the manga). Some of the scene transitions were abrupt, and everything was wrapped up nicely, but I still want to know more, like how Machi's co-worker reacted when she told him she was married to a woman, that would have been funny to see. All in all it was a good stand alone, adult yuri manga. Now to see if NTR: Netsuzou Trap, a book by the same author, is at my local library.

It's okay

As an avid manga reader I can honestly say... It's not bad. I don't love it but I don't hate it. I feel like the story has alot of potential but I also feel like it was very rushed through. I understand it's a one hit but they sacrificed too much detail. If I had to give it 1-10 I'd give it a 3 at most.
