I read this in hs for the first time, and it's definitely one of the best josei out there.
It also discusses gender inequality and bias really well, showing all of the complexities that people have based on their gender and the standards in society.
Slightly morally ambiguous and very heartwarming!
Also pretty sure Sumire is the reason I have a tall woman fetish-
so I used to be a hardcore CLAMP fan and I've probably read and most of their works (also own some volumes ~) but this is prob my favorite. And ugh I also hate this series just cause its such a mindfuck if u know u know
speaking of mindfuck, possibly one of the best psychological uuuuugh idfk whatever category Squid Game is in manga ever!!! I wish I could delete it from my brain so I could read it again (already reread a few times). Scanlation teams worked hard on this shit maaaan. Some ppl thought Nao is annoying and honestly they are those that didn't read much because she develops a loooooooot as a character!!! (only they really did her dirty in the last game I SAID WHAT I SAID OK)
this is one of my favorite works!! (which I also physically own)
Great reading for the fellow queers out there!
I only wish it was longer.
