Eh. ngl the drawing style really put me off -- when the characters are facing you, it kinda looks like they don't have any noses, just two small dots. It was weird and off-putting. On top of that the characters are unlikeable (imo) and the storyline wasn't very captivating, so I just didn't finish it.
I realize yuri tends to move quickly, but the main character knew her love interest for five minutes and then suddenly she proclaimed her love and turned into a creepy stalker. I'm used to unrealistic romances, but this was just too over-the-top.

Not a masterpiece but not bad either. Nothing feels generic and/or cliche in Free Soul but there aren't any life changing and/or heart wrenching moments either. Like the art style used, it's light and "free-flowing". Basically, it's a light read.
You won't probably be moved to tears or anything of that sort but, after reading it all, it just might put you into a pensive mood. Nothing extreme but just enough for you to not simply dismiss it after you're through with it.
For me, most of the parts that I like are from the protagonist's monologues. Also, the characters are interesting but not enough so as to leave you with a strong impression. That was probably one of this work's weakest aspects and one of the reasons why I simply cannot view it as a "definite must read".
All in all, it's a decent light read but that's all it is.

This is the kind of stuff you want to read on a rainy day, your mood is sure to have improved afterwards. The artwork is not brilliant -by far, but the contents make up for it. If you like light yuri dramas, this one should be in your collection
