Two girls, a new school, and the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
In middle school, Ayaka Shiramine was the perfect student: hard-working, with excellent grades and a great personality to match. As Ayaka enters high school she expects to still be on top, but one thing she didn't account for is her new classmate, the lazy yet genuine genius Yurine Kurosawa. What's in store for Ayaka and Yurine as they go through high school... together?

Not sure what you guys were reading, but this was not a very good manga, it was just all over the place, to many side stories and side characters that don't matter, too little/slow development with the main couple and most importantly, not very likeable characters, specially Yurine, and some act so weirdly, almost like an antagonist with their sinister/creepy smiles, why ? it made no sense, specially since they act like that with the people they are supposed to be in love with. It's like the author is an alien or an AI that has no idea how love works, or people for that matter.
There was no romance in the amount i read, also lots of forced kisses, and this too is a story seemingly devoid of males and all females seem to be lesbians, no one questions anything, like it's the most natural thing in the world.
The rose garden/Yukine chapter was the last drop
She wanted things to stay the same forever so when she saw her friend add white roses to the red rose garden her fear of change led her to sabotage and betray her friend, which resulted in the rose garden being demolished... so she destroyed everything she loved, why ? because she is f*cking stupid and crazy, it's the only thing that fits, and while I was happy she got the slap she deserved she still gets forgiven... that really pissed me off.
In short, it's boring, annoying and unrealistic and I don't recommend it.
WAY. TOO MANY. FUCKING. CHARACTERS. I'm so bad at remembering different characters so this was so hars to follow for me and it made me enjoy the story WAY less. Be prepared for the number of characters. It's pretty wholesome and cute. It gets a bit dark and serious at times. It's a very slooooowwwwww burn. Sometimes the inferiority complex hit way too close to home for me.

Perfect series. Keep a great balance between main couple and the side-couples. All the couples are different (there's even polyamory!) and they are all very distinct and recognizable, with different backstories and such. Totally recommended.
The art is lovely, the sanitized romance is off-putting, the storylines are all over the place. I have a feeling the author wanted to make a sapphic "Tsuredure Children" but it's very hard to understand what's going on when the characters look that similar, in basically the same space, while the author tries to connect all these characters to each other. If the author separated each couple by volume, or made each story line more unique, it would flow much better.
By sanitized romance I mean. These relationships aren't queer. If you substituted any of the girl characters for a boy, it would feel the same. I don't mean to say I want homophobia, misogyny, etc. I mean to say it reads as "pure yuri", "sugar", lesbian romance for straights. These stories lack the sapphic experience. Too male-gazey. Wholesome GL doesn't need horror and misery, but as a lesbian myself, it's too difficult to relate to this manga.
I LOVED this manga! All of the relationships were really well written and despite the large cast, and I don't think any of them were underdeveloped. Every one of the relationships involved different kinds of love and different dynamics and I loved all of them! I also really liked the ending, and how every one of the side relationships had some sort of contribution to the main characters at some point throughout the story. The art was beautiful too, nothing felt too stiff, the style itself was gorgeous and consistent, and it was obvious that the artist was very experienced in general. This was one of my favorites and I'll definitely be rereading it.
