Introduction

Sad to see this end but all good things do eventually. I absolutely adored this series. First introduced to this series when the anime aired and honestly was quite skeptical of it at first given how the other yuri series' that I had gotten into seemed to rely heavily on fan service or sexual assaults like Citrus does. But seeing the high ratings and reviews it started to get, I was intrigued and gave it a shot.

And I loved it.

Story
It was definitely different to what I expected it to be. Yuu who always dreamed about how it felt to fall in love. And Touko, who while in love with Yuu, didn't want that feeling to be reciprocated. She couldn't accept that love as to her, would mean loving what she hates, ie. herself. The development we see throughout the series was really well done. While the romance part of it was great, the story doesn't seem to rely on that alone. The arc with the revival of school play was really well done and developed nicely. The series was very well paced.Characters

Yuu and Touko as characters were very likable. Seeing the character development in the series was really great. Yuu who hadn't know what love really feels like and always felt left out, but eventually seeing her develop feelings for Touko. Touko, who tried to display herself as the perfect student, who was trying her best to become her sister, or rather how she saw her sister to be. And only with Yuu does she seem to show who she really is. And not just the main characters but even the supporting ones, who weren't simply there to fill panels. Maki, who loved playing the supporting role for the 2 rather than being the actor of the metaphorical play. Rei, Yuu's supportive sister. Sayaka, who was in love with Touko. The rest of Yuu's friends and the members of the student council were all memorable.

Art

The art was really well done as well. It looked very clean and simple and conveys meanings and character expressions in situations with it's art quite well. Consistently improved throughout. It fit very well for a romance series and the colored pages were very visually pleasing to look at.

Conclusion

Would definitely recommend you to check the series out to anyone interested in a good yuri series or romance in general with a very good conclusion to the series. And I do really hope the anime adapts the rest of the series in the future.
