Girl goes to all girls school and joins the sorority, is in love with an edgy and masculine girl, lots of drama, anime was much better

This was such a sad, beautiful manga. I shed years over this manga. The protagonist is really well written, and even the side characters are amazingly well done. This is hands down one of the best mangas I have ever read.

Great story by Ikeda Riyoko that somehow is regrettably underrated and a bit forgotten as well, when in actuality it's a masterpiece! A coming-of-age gem! It's sad but beautiful. Deep and emotional. Especially for those who like classics and melodrama, this is a must-read! I like both manga and anime. Apart from some differences between them (with some added and|or expanded scenes, also rendered in a more melodramatic way, and especially differences regarding the final tragic events in the last chapters and the ending itself, which, on the contrary, were toned down a bit respect to the manga and the biggest difference would be Kaoru’s ending, which isn’t a tragic one in the anime), I think they are both great. About the anime, I have to say that I personally was particularly impressed by it. It's one of my favourites! It's really well-done and especially visually is well crafted: I loved all the details, all the different lights and colors, and framing. All the different background scenes like the beautiful ever-changing views of the sea and sunset, and the city's lights at night, the rainy scenes and all the general scholastic atmosphere! I loved every little detail and the music as well! Each episode was great. And it makes me feel so nostalgic, because there aren't anime like this anymore! I actually had already watched it long ago, but I didn't read the manga back then. So, now I'm so glad to have watched it again and to have finally read the manga as well! I totally recommend both anime and manga.
> Note: It includes both lesbian and straight elements. And it includes heavy issues.

I first saw the anime several years ago, when I was a teenager. Finally I got to read the manga too.
I really love the story, though it is very sad and ends sad. Yet, I could read it again and again.
My heart.... I love Ikeda's work, an amazing artist with wonderful stories.
This one... Left me speechless. So beautiful, but also painful. I love it.
