Thank you to Edelweiss and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Makoto Hagino is back with the next English-translated edition of a Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow. In the last edition, we followed Honami more closely and her emotions. In this book, we took the opposite route and followed Amano. Amano has seen Honami spending time with Kaede and it makes her nervous. When she once had Honami all to herself, she now realizes that things are changing.
This is once again a bit slow like the novel before it. However, I really enjoyed Amano’s perspective of the impending changes with Honami as she prepares to graduate. I do wish the girls relationship and the constant back and forth of not knowing how to communicate would start to grow, because at this point it’s starting to feel a little TOO slow.
I still love the story and find the art incredibly beautiful.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Eden is doing her best to get this story printed and her school is not helping in any way. Her school would rather this entire situation be covered up and not talked about, but the Slut Squad feels their story should be told.
I found our main character to be relatively forgettable. Nothing about her is very interesting, and she is more of an outside looking in perspective. While she does get closer to the girls and forms a strange romance in the middle of all this, I found myself not caring about her direct thoughts or feelings. She was very clinical about everything, and while I think it worked well in the story, it prevented her from being interesting.
The writing tended to lean more on the social commentary than the mystery of the book, having me figure out “whodunit” early on. This didn’t keep me from enjoying the book. Some of the conversations around slut shaming and how we “handle” teen girls in these situations. So often, we unintentionally blame them for wanting to find their identities and sexual preferences. It creates unhealthy relationships and expectations for everyone involved.
