I'm pretty disappointed, it's probably because I expected a lesbian romance and it was a slice of life/josei about self-discovery and concern for the future.
To me, it didn't feel like their relationship evolved at all. They didn't really care about each other until the end, they barely were even friends so it's definitely not a yuri. They were really self-centered in the beginning, a little bit less after, but there was no drastic change, I think making more volumes would've fixed that.
I guess we can see some hints of affection in very small details, but overall, I didn't see any alchemy between our protagonists. The author managed to create a dreamy mood, but it felt too much like I was reading a poetry. It's not a bad manga, I just think that it weren't the genres that I expected.
Some important moments were rushed, especially the end, but the art is absolutely gorgeous and it's impressive to create so many deep characters with unique personalities and relationships in only three volumes so it's a 6 out of 10. It still feels like a lot of stories are left incomplete...

I didn't have time to get attached to the main characters, especially as I found them rather unsympathetic in their ways with each other. The secondary characters were spectators in the story of the two girls, and I didn't find them very useful. When they interacted with the MC's, it wasn't really fascinating. The only parts that I liked were about the theaters students.

The themes were very diverse, and I think a lot of teenagers could identify with these questions, but again, some were skimmed over. On the other hand, it's possible to enjoy being alone, to be solitary without being lonely, and still not be cold and unfazed. This "kuudere" side of the main character was rather cliché, but it went with the story of the beautiful, inaccessible wildflower, I suppose... The main characters didn't evolve enough in my opinion.

Flawless. Chef's kiss. My mind was truly blown, every panel was a work of art and could've been a wallpaper !

I'm just trying to gain some characters here honestly because I already stated my opinion multiple times. :,)

I appreciated staring at the amazing details of each panel but sadly it was a no for the rest. The story focused on secondary issues and details and skipped important arcs, which frustrated me a lot and took me out of the story. The time periods weren't really clear at times, and I didn't appreciate the characters' mentalities, so it wasn't a pleasure to follow their "adventures", as it dragged on for very little in the end.
Thanks for reading !
