Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl Vol. 4

[This review is for the whole series.]
Kashimashi is a sweet story about true friendship and finding first love, with a detour through coming to terms with gender identity (one's own and that of a friend). Features farcical sci-fi elements as plot catalysts. The love triangle that is formed settles into true polyamory throughout the middle of the story arc, but the protagonist is artificially forced to choose between his/her two loves by the aforementioned SF deus ex machina. This might not bother most, but I found it bittersweet and a tad contrived, though thankfully not preachy. ( )
