Great Art. Sweet story. Nice to see a yuri manga focussed on an older-than-teen aged couple (24 and 30 in this case), and the clubbing/DJ scene always appeals to me. Recommended.
I love how chill it is, even though it's about figuring out their future. Usually it's like "omg I've graduated now I need to find a job asap or I'll end up being homeless". Fair enough, it isn't set right after their graduation and they did have a job. Nevertheless, it isn't stressful.
As someone who's also still figuring out what I want to do for a living, it's cool to have a story that is more chill.

I also really love how chill they are with their relationship. Not sure whether or not show more the protagonist already knew before that they are gay, but it's nice to have characters that don't freak out after having kissed the same gender. And especially how normal it's kept.
I'm a bit thrown off at how chill they are – one night-stand only and they're kinda living together already? Dunno, maybe that's a normal thing, but I've never read about that (usually there's a whole drama whether the characters are ready to move in together).

Yea, it's a chill read, with a chill story and chill characters.

The main "event" of this volume was rather unnecessary. I feel like the author only put this in because he wanted to have more excitement, but in my opinion, that totally backfired. I didn't mind the chillness of the other two volumes at all, quite the opposite, so having this suddenly dramatic and "exciting" plot felt off. Not only was it unnecessary but also a bit toxic.
Up until now, they're relationship was realistically mature, but this event totally threw them off the track... Good for show more them to resolving it, but it's a meh for me. It really wasn't needed to turn the table this much, to get the path the author had planned for the characters, especially the protagonist.

Also, is it just me or did the drawing style slightly change? Not sure, but it seemed more detailed and more "serious", if you can say that. Kinda to match the vibe of the story more.
Isn't necessarily a bad thing; the details were amazing. But I did like the "simpleness" of the drawing style more.

This romance concludes with the same whimper with which it began. Despite the first part being set in a rave, it just never manages to convey any sort of energy or excitement. And then the second half forces a dramatic turn that keeps the leads apart for a long time so they can have personal growth or something like that that is equally unsatisfying. Meh.
