I don't like how often the plot is being repeated. Like, Nao keeps saying how much it's her dream to act with Haruka together and Haruka keeps saying how she'll never act again. It's kinda annoying, but at the same time I also get it. Kind of? Sometimes we also repeat things too many times in our heads, either because we hate our decision, or we love it, or we're disappointed...

All I really would like to do, is just to go into the book and make them talk to each other. I completely show more understand why both sides aren't ready to spill their tea, I've been kinda in both situations myself and know how hard it is. But I also know how bad it ends when you choose not to talk and keep it inside, until time reaches you and the truth somehow comes to light, or you grow apart because the lies built a distance between you...
So, just talk.

Since volume 3 is gonna be the last, I don't think it's gonna be a sad ending, but I really really hope they still get to have a heart-to-heart conversation.
I wouldn't necessarily want for Haruka to start acting again, since that'd be way too rushed, unless the author will do a time-skip, but it's important for both of them to be completely honest. And whatever happened in the past, Haruka needs to come in terms with it and face her fears.

What a wild rollercoaster of emotions from Minami …

The first half was her on the bink of death, thinking Yuzu fell in love with someone else.

But then Tsubasa unintentionally helps her out – which was REALLY needed – and cured her a bit from the extreme blushing! At least, in the 2nd half, she was finally able to talk to Yuzu normally again, without stuttering and blushing too much.

Although the amount of misunderstanding were quite annoying! Literally just wanted to throw her into a show more therapy session with Elliot from Pandora Hearts …!

Ended on a fun note though, so I'm rating it 4 stars.

But the whole 'angst' does make me wonder how they've been prior to her catching romantic feelings, and how she imagines to actually navigate a romance with her, if she can't really be near her, without dying …

Meanwhile Yuzu continues to seem dense when it comes to the romantic feelings, but as said last volume, I do think she knows more than she shows.

I love how casual the author keeps most of the things. Love confession? Pff, easy. First kiss? No big deal. First time sleeping together? Nothing.
I mean, the characters do get nervous still and blush a lot, and it's also not completely meaningless, but definitely toned down a lot, compared to pretty much every other romance story. It just shows how comfortable the characters are together and that's what you want to have in a romantic/sexual relationship, no?
I also love how supportive show more everyone is. Not just with their relationship, but also with the dreams that each character has. It's extremely common in such stories for characters to always be jealous and envious, but not here. It's so healthy and refreshing.

Also, it's incredible, how every page, every panel is in color! Mangas are already difficult enough and take so much time in b&w already, but even more so colored... gets me every time. 5 stars for the art.

I'm not much a fan of the secret they're both keeping, as I always prefer honest relationships, which is why it gets half a star less. However, the secret isn't harming them, so I'm fine with it for now. Hopefully they do get to talk about it soon though.

I knew it!
Yuzu has been in love with her all the time. What I did not know is that she's completely dense about Minami's approach. Though I can't blame her, cause Minami's awkwardness really ain't very clear from Yuzu's perspective. Especially cause Minami was the one to friend-zone them … the irony.

Apart from that, they were making some great progress, with Minami blushing less and being more brave.

I also liked the new character, Kamiya. Her role was pretty obvious, a very old trope, show more but it worked. And I did like the date, cause it seemed almost like they're a throuple. ^^
