Oh my gosh I loved this short series so much. It resonated with me so much and made me feel such happy feelings. The main characters are flawed and imperfect yet they manage to make it through the challenges and find themselves in each other. I loved it so much and could read a million more stories about these women and their family 💜

That epilogue was so good. This whole second volume made me tear up so often.

Review for the whole series:
All in all this story is about the struggles of being queer in a heteronormative world and the messy nature of figuring it all out. There's some deeply flawed characters and I appreciated that - it's not easy dealing with internalized homophobia and leaving an abusive partner, let alone standing up for yourself as a woman who everyone sees as dumb and easy.
Maki doesn't have it easy either, she'd do anything to get her high-school sweetheart back and is willing to put up with a lot of shit in exchange for brief moments of happiness. Her being a doormat and going along with the cheating despite knowing Midori has a fiance to go home to is tough. She's being used, but I think the series does a good job at exploring the difficulties from both of their perspectives.
The fiance is a massive misogynist, we briefly get to see the world from his perspective and learn why he is the way he is without excusing any of his actions. He gets Midori pregnant against her will and she struggles a lot with the complicated feelings that come with her body changing and the uncertainty of the future. But what she fears most is being alone and plays dumb to avoid causing any friction.
(Also mentioning this here in case someone needs the warning: Abortion was at no point mentioned or considered, she does end up having that baby and shares custody with the father, though the details of their arrangement isn't specified)
The art style is a big highlight for me, I haven't seen a manga quite like this before and if I had to describe it I'd choose the words elegant and feminine.
cw: abusive relationship (physical and emotional), sexual content (not super explicit), nudity, cheating, homophobia, misogyny, forced pregnancy

I loved the art style but that was it. . . I kept reading because I was hopeful I would be more satisfied with the next book. The characters just feel flat for me I couldn't relate to anyone or any of the situations they were put in. I feel bad writing bad reviews for books, but this one really disappointed me. I was really hoping to like it.
Spoilers: Maybe its because I never experienced a toxic relationship or a situation ship. But it just kind of felt like teasing us instead of a pleasant build up of "when will they get together I'm so excited for them." The whole premise is a runaway bride BUT THEY NEVER GOT MARRIED!!!! I thought it was a nice touch with showing their kid years later BUT THEY NEVER SAID 10 YEARS LATER I was just so confused who this new character was. It was a nice idea in theory to tie into some side characters but it was just not executed well.

Momo e Midori che scappano e decidono di stare assieme per sempre la mia nuova cosa preferita.
Non so però se la fine, con la figlia di Midori e Momo che scappa di casa, mi abbia convinta

I really like that trip arc. It had depth and the twitter friend is so sweet. The ending of this volume feels ominous (even when I know it's not going to turn dark).

4.5⭐ for the end.
Was enjoyable, has deep meanings and sensible topics and i like the development of the main characters.
