Another catch-up for a series I haven't read in a while. I'm pretty sure this is the last one I had read, so I figured I'd start with this one.
This is a fun series, though I must admit, with secret twins, boys impersonating girls impersonating boys, and lots of girls with long, flowing hair, I tend to get lost at times. Haine is very sweet, though, and despite the fact that she is in love with both twins (which is rather obnoxious), I can't help but like her. Ushio is an interesting character. I always found her rather stoic and a staunchly loyal friend to Haine, but I never realized she was in love with her before. It seems really harsh for Ushio to demand Haine's attention in such a brutal way, but she is her oldest friend, and Haine will do anything for her, even abandon the boy (boys?) she is in love with.
I'm looking forward to catching up with the rest in this series.

This one was problematic to the point I couldn't really enjoy it. The characters kept acting as if aggressiveness in a relationship was ok. For example, there's a comment about how the main guy is going to make the main girl his and how he doesn't think he can stop himself. Ok, well according to previous context, he means steal her heart, but the current context is them in a room together alone so it can also be sex (which no, doesn't happen). But later they're talking about the situation and the main girl says she knows main guy would stop if she asked him to but her friend says he wouldn't stop in that situation. Ok, that's literally sexual assault/rape. I'm so tired of this bullcrap of dude so in love he can't control himself, whether it be controlling himself from being aggressive to his competition for his love interest or whether it be sexually toward his love interest. Its creepy. The only thing saving this is that he actually does stop when she makes it very clear she doesn't want him to continue, but this whole "dude take charge of girl who doesn't really know what she wants" trope needs to die.
