This is a light hearted story! I really love how beautiful the illustrations are!! They add so much to the story!! A slower start but it is certainly laying the ground for a rich and fun story to be explored in further volumes!!

This was a great start to a yuri drama romance. In it we follow these two girls in an English boarding school. They meet each other one summer and start a slow relationship. I can tell this one is going to be a slow burn. I love the art style, Nakamura sensei has such a beautiful unique style. I'm very curious to see where the story goes from here. It reminded me of Strawberry Panic. I definitely recommend picking it up!

ruby is a student at an elite european boarding school. one christmas she is forced to stay at school while her parents go on vacation to try to work out their marriage. her and steph are the only ones staying behind. i am in love with this series already especially steph. people call steph “steel steph” with the rumor going around that her left leg is made out of steel but learning more about her like why she walks differently and etc made me love her even more. ruby is a friendly and bubbly person who i can never see myself hating. i wish i had the second one already cause i just wanna read it rn

I wish the romance was drawn out a bit longer, because as it stands, it wasn’t super believable to me. Also, I’m not sure I like where this relationship is going…

Definitely a lot of potential for me to fall hard for this. It seemed a little light on actual substance in this first volume, but lots of allure and hopefully later payoffs/ramp ups. Art is gorgeous.
