I didn't know anything about this, found it on a yuri fanpage and therefore thought I'd be getting into another GL. But no – this is the other side of yuri, the CGDCT, kinda bait type. Which I don't mind for this story though, cause it plays in middle school and the characters are fairly young (around 12 I'm guessing).
It's very heavy on the slice of life, which I don't mind either, cause I'm a slice of life fan. Volume 1 spanned through around 3 days only, focusing on the slow life, enjoying every second basically.
The artstyle is quite unique with distinctive features – quite detailed, without being too detailed, still giving the characters a typical CGDCT flair. Although the characters appear quite elegant due to the style sometimes, that I was honestly a bit surprised to find this to be CGDCT. It's not like K-On or YuruCamp.
I especially love the colored pages with the watercolor technique – fits the sailor 'theme'.
(The cover is a bit of an odd choice though, also might be why I didn't think this was CGDCT at first.)
Due to it being so slow life, you can focus a lot on the characters. I like most of them so far, and want to know more about them. Akebi's lovely relationship with her younger sister is really cute, they've got each other's backs, while still teasing one another on a regular basis.
One of her classmates and her first friend in class, Kizaki Erica, might have developed a crush on Akebi, as she's often getting jealous. Perhaps it's a platonic crush, or it'll go into the GL direction after all?
I'm not fond of her father though. He's the typical, old-fashioned father who's not really aware of having kids, works far from home and only visits for short amount of times, and because kids grow so fast, he doesn't know how to act around them, is awkward about it and spends more time smoking outside, while the mother takes care of the household and also has a job. Too old-fashioned for my style, but as long as he doesn't appear much (proper yuri stories don't have male characters after all), I won't mind it.
Interested in where the story is gonna go, probably focusing on Akebi becoming the popular girl in school.
