As an introduction to yuri, it was mediocre. No story so to speak, but you have to give it 'slice of life', and a whole bunch of situations to have sex in (annoyingly so). These two laugh about the stupidest things, and I found it somewhat distracting. However, the artwork was nice, and you do get to see the comfort of the relationship between them.

But then again, I'm female and this is geared towards men, not women.

There had been a lot of smiles, but who said that was so bad? Maybe a little uncomfortable, because they laugh for pointless things sometimes, but it's all good.

Characters changed throughout the manga, but I think that's only because of development of somesort.

Overal I believe that it was worth the read. Also, the color is something new, only few manga are full-blown-out color like this one.

its nice in a semi romantic kind of way.
its not just mindless sex.
the relationship between the two is nice, but as others say, still a little shallow...
also i was expecting some sort of fall out/break up and make up at the end. but there was none. nothing really happens... but its nice and well drawn and touching (in a non-rude way! haha.

There's trama not only nudity, sex and the so called hentai.
You see the feelings of both girls and you enjoy every page wich also are perfectly drawed.
A mix of hotness, drama (not much though not too little), and sweetness.

i've read it like 10 times and i still don't get tired of it...

The two girls in this manga have some issues with relationships. With time, you find out a little more about their issues, but not much. The one thing you do find out is that these two love each other and feel comfortable with each other. They don't seem to mind that people see them on the street holding hands or kissing, but they don't commit to each other. It seems sad that they can love each other so much, but that they have to continue feeling insecure and like they need to find a different relationship (a boyfriend) to rely on.

it's cool, it really is, it has some very good points and I like the girls relationship, and there is so much smiles and laughter. ...but the vignette thing, not really my thing. Sex is ok, but I would like to see more.

Beautiful. I feel really weird saying that about a title consisting almost entirely of sex, but at the same time, the author did a tremendous job conveying the feeling the girls had for one another: honest love. Watching the relationship grow, and the characters realize their feelings for each other, is really exciting. And the sex, rather than being simply porn, actually gives the same feeling of discovery, as the two move from being hesitant and fooling around, to being passionate and inseperable. The only negative that comes to my mind is that the artwork felt strange at first. I'm not sure if it got better, or if I just got used to it, but the feeling only lasted for the first couple of chapters. Maka Maka is a beautiful love story, and you should read it.

Edit: I just re-read it, and I think the artwork is really incredible, but the emphasis on mouths/lips makes the characters look different enough from the mainstream that it's distracting. At least at first. Also, it was just as great the second time around. There's just so much emotion -- there's no story/plot to speak of, but the characters feel so alive. This is definitely a 10 for me -- it should be on the bookshelf of anyone not put-off by nudity.

I'm giving this a 7 purely because it was enjoyable to see an extensive manga in full colour. There was minimal plot- with the same plot-like device being repeated over and over again each chapter. There were a couple of nice emotional moments between the lead characters, but not much to speak of really. There's also something which oddly alienates the reader. Wish there was a proper story!

the manga wasn't about any conflict they had, it was just about the both of them, being there. with each other. acting as one but still being two. it's just about what they did, little snippets of their relationship. and as for their personalities, seriously, who isn't messed up nowadays? they just depict real people trying to live in the real world as best they can. this book is more than the hentai, there's something deeper into it. you either dig or get yourself a brain!

ohh but thats one of the reasons why its good. besides, it does have a little love in it. you just gotta read it through.
