Eek. I was so excited to read this series. I've heard it was a great LGBTQ manga, but I'm honestly really crushed about this. There was no plot besides the very uncomfortable I-like-you-and-now-we-are-step-siblings trope (I've learned from this experience that I am not ok with that trope). There were also a lot of sexual assault and lack of consent from at least 3 characters (two of them being the main characters). The art is gorgeous, but it felt like it was written for an audience that fetishizes wlw relationships. I'm sad to give it a one star, and I won't be continuing the series.
