1/5 stars
I'm going to try to give my review of this manga without as many spoilers as possible. The reason I rated it a one is because there are too many problems that are in this book. The art is great, but the story is just terrible.
(1) A lack of clearly defined boundaries
When they first met, there were no boundaries established. Even when a person was uncomfortable, nothing was said about it.
(2) Borderline incest
It literally says in the first few pages that it is a secret/forbidden romance between two sisters. Not only that, but it was also brought up more than once in the story, making the argument that the author doesn't see them as sisters obsolete.
(3) There was no consent given.
Basically, what happens is that Mei gets assaulted and pretty much takes it out on Yuzu when questioned about it. It happens a lot for it to be the first volume.
(4) Fetishizing
At this point, the glaring incest and lack of consent pretty much lead one to believe that this is for people who fetishize wlw. There is too much fan service, and there is an ongoing theme around boob sizes.
(5) No plot
So far, there is no ongoing plot, other than no communication and constant assaults. There have been other characters introduced, but they don't add much to the story.
For all these reasons, I rate it a 1/5. I'm not comfortable enough to read any more volumes as I have no hopes of this getting any better.
A fun start to the series. The art is pretty. The characters are, so far, pretty standard but likable.
