LETS GO LESBIANS. This book is cute and adorable

Cute, sweet read

3.5 Stars

Not for me.

There's a page at the end of this that shows 6 GLs from Seven Seas. I read 5 of them... and disliked all of them. With that in mind, I felt compelled to give this one 3 instead of 2 stars because that page put things into interesting perspective. I enjoyed this the most of out the books I've read from that publisher, but I still didn't enjoy it.

Hina is a first year that falls in love with Shiki, a 2nd year. Partially because she loves Shiki's boobs, but also because she just thinks Shiki is really cool. Shiki likes basketball, so Hina gets involved in the basketball club to get close to her. Despite not really knowing anything about basketball.

This story does a lot of telling instead of showing. It's particularly noticeable when Hina is thinking about the upperclassmen being really mean to Miyamoto. There's an inner monologue of Hina explaining Miyamoto's mindset on the team and she talks about a lot of things we never see. So, we get an inner monologue that felt sort of out of place? It served no purpose other than to tell us more about a side character. With that in mind, I actually feel like we learned more about Miyamoto than Shiki.

This felt really juvenile (not necessarily a dig since it's meant for a younger audience) because there's a lot of fretting and slowing down the plot for no real reason, it seemed?

Spoiler

Hina worries that Shiki sees her as a little sister and this leads to her running away after Shiki kisses her. You'd think perhaps because she got nervous at getting something she wanted. No, it's because she still thinks Shiki sees her as a little sister.

There are a lot of little moments in this that seemed kind of aimless. The story also seems to take place in three real settings (the gym, their brief date, and then Shiki's apartment). Most of the moments that felt worth reading took place in Shiki's apartment.

Spoiler

I enjoyed the scene where Hina took care of Shiki when she was sick the most. I also enjoyed when Miyamoto came over for advice.

So, with that said, this isn't a recommend from me. The art is very cute, but I just didn't get enough to latch onto in this story. However, a younger person might really enjoy this.
