This is a great manga, although it is award-winning and widely popular enough that I don’t need to tell you that. As a complete package I think this series deserves 5-stars. A delightful grumpy X sunshine situation, that strikes a good balance between being realistic and convoluted. There is some great foreshadowing. Some of the characters are a lot of fun, including the side characters.


I like the art, and the artist does a good job of using it to portray emotions and action.

The protagonists are absolutely adorable together and I genuinely wish for their happiness, so I think that says a lot right there!

I liked the progression of Mel and Lynn's relationship in vol 2. It's a little over the top, but that's part of the fun. I love the art style and how expressive it feels.

0.5/5 🌶️ (spice scale in bio).

[Zara · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is going fast and slow at the same time but I’m enjoying it

“Your”I don’t give a shit” attitude is exactly what I like about you”
Me too bud me too

“Eyes on someone already”
“I really hope it’s not who I think it is”

“Shit what I’m I thinking?!”
The same I was thinking girl you’re not alone in this

This volume was cute.

Mel and Lynn’s relationship is developing slowly but surely, can’t wait for them to finally use their words for revealing it.

As much as I’ve never been much of a grumpy x sunshine, this novel is perfect. 🙌🏻

It is nice to have a good sensual Yuri in a sea of Yaoi.

[Zayne · Rating 5 out of 5]

Full 5 stars because LOVE DEFINITELY WINS here! Lynn, younger girl has a bad heart, surgeon who cares not for anything relationships other than casual one-time or two-time flings. Then, Lynn, said bad-heart girl, ends up falling for her, and Mel, the bad-girl, falls right back for her. A very complicated, yet sweet-ending, story that you'll want to read if you like that kinda stuff.

[Loki Wylde · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic! Everything you want in a mature sapphic love story. W|W / Yuri - whatever you want to call it. The art is beautiful and a good story with drama, suspense and even little cutesy moments. 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a NSFW graphic love story.

the progression of mel and lynn's relationship is actually quite sweet! though it feels a bit fast at times, it feels realistic to see how mel would come to care about lynn in a way that she doesn't care about her other hookups. i think that's actually one of my favourite parts of mel's characterization—even though she's supposed to be the "cold-hearted playboy who doesn't care about anyone" trope, she's not really cold-hearted at all and that's so clear in the way she interacts with people. she's actually very sweet and silly and i really like her character and the way she grows fond of lynn. i think lynn is great as well! honestly, both lynn and mel are based on very cliche tropes, but they both have interesting characterization beyond their tropes. i think that's the big thing about ratana satis's mangas—the art and characters are always good, but the plot tends to be lacking. the plot relies on a lot of suspension of disbelief and deus ex machinas. the plots tend to be rather shallow or unrealistic, but i think the characters and their dynamics can make up for it.

the art is still nice, but the colouring remains pretty inconsistent at times. i try not to harp on it too much considering how rare full-colour mangas are and how difficult i'm sure they are to make, but the colours of a character's clothes or hair can change literally from panel to panel. it's not too distracting for me personally because i care about the plot more than the art, but it's something to take note of. though, i think the art in general is still pretty nice for the most part.

overall, i'm still having fun. i definitely understand why little baby imeda was so obsessed with this series and why it kickstarted my obsession with yuri mangas/manhwas. i might do a reread of a lot of the yuris that i read when i was younger just to see what i was so interesting in back then LMAO

[Craig Schorling · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series is starting off really strong. I really like the main characters and the art is pretty good. The story is a bit over the top with the sudden moving in thing but it was still fun and moved the plot along.

[Dayamarali Espinosa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pulse vol 2 - what a great and I like how the progress between Mel and Lynn. I can tell Mel into Lynn but struggle and avoiding, and Lynn gets jealous whatever any ladies call Mel. I rating this a 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Skirma · Rating 3 out of 5]

Idk. Everyone say that this is a masterpiece. I personally liked only one part.

[Paulette · Rating 1 out of 5]

Somehow worse than the first volume! The art is beautiful, beautiful gowns.

[Blinkyzombie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked Lynn better in this one. I did not like how the first kiss unfolded, but other than that the art is beautiful and it's a cute story.

[Cristela T · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved it. This series is so good.

[Viluzmar · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s almost pride month. I gotta give it to the gays. I CANT move on. I can’t

[˗ˋˏ mckenna ˎˊ˗ · Rating 4 out of 5]

the moving in bit felt a bit too forced at first but ugh this series is really cute (and steamy 👀🫣) i want to go on a lesbian aquarium date when will it be my turn???

[Ashleigh Carter · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love the slow burn of this series. I can't wait to see how long it takes for them to finally come together. Although they do get closer in this one, they're still not really together.

Love the water scenes

[Charlotte · Rating 4 out of 5]

The art is stunning!!
Seeing Mel start to question her life choices is interesting.
Lynn is such a ray of sunshine

[Yumi Kirtash · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this volume a bit more than the first, it’s nice to see the characters interacting a bit more. Some conversations are a bit forced at times, but perhaps is the translation.

[Kaylee · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.75 !

[Yj · Rating 4 out of 5]

Still love the artwork, don’t love the storyline.
