thank you for the arc netgalley! really excited to read this one it looks so cute 😭
⤷ my thoughts༉‧₊˚.
this one was really cute , however it didn’t really live up to what i was really hoping for it to be . the plot was cute and i loved the characters but i just feel like everything was just a little bit rushed and we didn’t get to know very much about the main characters .. however , i loved the art style and the lgbt+ representation in this book too hehe ! 🤭
⤷the plot ༉‧₊˚.
two high school best friends, yua and reina, decide to start dating for fun for one year. but as they grow closer, they realise they want to be together forever.
꒰yua꒱༉‧₊˚.
yua was so funny and sweet and absolutely obsessed with reina . however we didn’t really seem to learn much about her , i still loved her vibe and her character though , she was such a sweetie 😛
꒰reina꒱༉‧₊˚.
honestly i feel like reina and yua have sort of a grumpy x sunshine thing going on as reina was sort of more stubborn and dry towards the people she didn’t really know and was more lovey dovey towards yua which was really cute .. i also loved the bday scene and christmas scene so cute ! 🥹
⤷overall!! ༉‧₊˚.
overall .. this manga was a good quick read , i would recommend it to anyone who wants a quick read . however , there was a slight formatting problem so some of the words on the side i couldn’t rlly see .. and there is mentions of gen z slang which i found quite funny ..
My apologies, but this just wasn’t very good. It’s like they took random frames from a much longer manga and cut them together. The first chapter timeskips through an entire year?? It was kind of fun and cute, but there was no plot or substance, or relationship development to speak of. I didn’t dislike this, but I didn’t find much to like either.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing a free ARC. This honest review was left voluntarily.
#GalxGal Yuri is a cute slice of life yuri about two high-schoolers, Reina and Yua, who are GALs/gyaru. They start dating for fun and develop stronger feelings for each other over the course of a year.. The manga explores their relationship and their coming-of-age into adulthood - dream careers, job searches, temping, getting into college. Overall, super cute, and as a bisexual woman, it's so nice to have representation. Also, the art style is soooooooooo nice. I really love how Reina sees Yua, and how supportive and happy the families are for the girls. I look forward to reading more volumes to come! Thank you to NetGalley and VIZ Media for the ARC!
I genuinely thought I would like this, but I didn’t. It was cute at first. I was surprised that they were already dating and we didn’t really get to see the buildup at all. Then it started moving really fast. Like October, November….just huge skips like that. Also the fan service halfway through??? It got so weird like halfway through the book and purely felt like somebody was putting their fetish into this manga. It sucked because I had such hight expectations for it. I would recommend this to you if you like friends to lovers, fem x fem, and really fast pacing.
The first chapter of this volume felt super rushed and covered several years while the rest of the volume slowed down to a pace that was actually enjoyable. The first chapter really feels like it was supposed to be a one-shot that got turned into a series. The rest of the volume was super cute though.
