This was my first gl manga. It was really interesting. Although I did get bored a little so it took me a while to finish. I just think maybe it was too long. But overall it was decent.

'Mizuno and Chayama' is the story of two girls trying to escape the roles they've been unwillingly cast into, caught up in vicious small-town politics, one a popular girl on a pedestal, the other a scapegoat princess. Their only respite is a secret romance together, carrying on in abandoned schoolrooms where no one else can see them. An upcoming mayoral election mean that more eyes than ever are watching, but can they find a way to break free from the pressures of society? This is an excellent story about public and private faces, about social expectations and family legacy, about love that lives in small quiet moments, and the weird warping of reality when everyone else knows who you should be. The art is gorgeous and detailed, and I loved all the emotions is conveyed - you really got a good feeling of Mizuno and Chayama's attraction to each other, the ugly apathy of the people who see them only as proxies for their parents, and the vicious, confused school bully venting the formless anger that fills the town. It's all good and dramatic and builds to a climactic confrontation and an amazing resolution of all the emotions the story has been been playing with the whole time -- it's hard to recommend this enough, and also it's all contained in a single volume! So yeah, if you like forbidden romance, tense emotional stakes, and girls in love, you really should go read this!
