Ranked #8354Popularity #448Members 556,753 During the summer of her freshman year of high school, Yuzu Aihara's mother remarried, forcing her to transfer to a new school. To a fashionable socialite like Yuzu, this inconvenient event is just another opportunity to make new friends, fall in love, and finally experience a first kiss. Unfortunately, Yuzu's dreams and style do not conform with her new ultrastrict, all-girls school, filled with obedient shut-ins and overachieving grade-skippers. Her gaudy appearance manages to grab the attention of Mei Aihara, the beautiful and imposing student council president, who immediately proceeds to sensually caress Yuzu's body in an effort to confiscate her cellphone.
Thoroughly exhausted from her first day, Yuzu arrives home and discovers a shocking truthβMei is actually her new step-sister! Though Yuzu initially tries to be friendly with her, Mei's cold shoulder routine forces Yuzu to begin teasing her. But before Yuzu can finish her sentence, Mei forces her to the ground and kisses her, with Yuzu desperately trying to break free. Once done, Mei storms out of the room, leaving Yuzu to ponder the true nature of her first kiss, and the secrets behind the tortured expression in the eyes of her new sister.

Itβs no wonder some people say itβs the best GL anime.
It has a great pace, captivating characters, and nothing feels slow. On the contrary, their relationship is intense, and the way the story is developed is really well done.
For me especially, the personal dilemmas, the self-discovery, and the fear of accepting who they truly are are what make this series so good. Most GL works donβt explore that very well, and when they do, itβs usually not as well executed as in this anime.
Highly recommended!

NΓ£o Γ© Γ toa que alguns dizem ser o melhor GL de anime.
à um anime com ritmo bom, personagens cativantes e nada parado. Pelo contrÑrio, é bem intensa a relação delas e a forma como a obra conduz a história.
Em especial, para mim, os dilemas de cada uma, a descoberta e o medo de se aceitarem como sΓ£o Γ© o que faz a obra ser tΓ£o boa. A maioria das obras GL parece nΓ£o abordar muito bem isso e, quando aborda, nΓ£o Γ© tΓ£o boa como neste anime.
Recomendo muito!

This is absolute beutiful in therms of animations, characters, style, and that's why i liked it .
About the story, this anime is about 2 girls who fall in love, and that's ok!! but the fact that they are sisters but went for it, is crazy, and as i watched it there was scenes that made me realize that this anime was made by mens and FOR mens, as some scenes in the middle of the story didn't had to be there and it was just so people stick more(bc the scenes are mostly sexualized). Besides that, this anime is good, great animation, the develope
...
of the characters is good, the places are beutiful.

I'm going to write this review coming from the manga, a manga which I liked in spite of its flaws, in spite of its disturbing aspects.
In a nutshell, the manga tells the tumultuous relationship between two very different high school girls:
- Yuzu is a deeply kind girl, capable of selfless acts but still immature and somewhat fragile emotionally. She also has some rebellious streak and is depicted as a gyaru at school.
- Mei is a very disturbed girl, who was taught to bury her own sense of self and to always behave according to her environment's expectations. She's shown to be talented, rigid and uncaring,
...
but she's also self-loathing and cut from her own emotions.
Although some of those points aren't obvious at the beginning of the story, they explain most of the toxic aspects of their relationship: Yuzu perceives early on that Mei is in distress but the way she tries to help is often awkward, and her own feelings toward Mei tend to confuse the issue even more. Mei robotically acts according to what she believes Yuzu desires, but brutally backpedals as soon as it brushes her inner stuggle, or fails to understand the consequences of her actions. Yuzu is hurt, forgives, bounces back to action. Rince and repeat until Mei's truth is laid bare.
Unfortunatly, the anime misses every mark and re-interprets all of the protagonists' actions in a simplistic way that destroys whatever depth the original story had.
Yuzu is reduced to a dumb and klutzy girl. All the complex and toxic situations that happened because of Yuzu's and Mei's clashing personalities are turned into Yuzu's mere blunders.
Mei is no longer a tortured teenager unable to cry for help, and that hurts Yuzu to avoid acknowledging her own struggle⦠Instead, she's just a bright girl that harasses Yuzu for no reason, or as retaliation for the other girl's blunders (or shock value, or fan service, take your pick).
In other words, anime's Mei is just a "perfect" girl and everything is anime's Yuzu's fault. And because of that, the anime loses everything that made the story interesting. In a way, it's fortunate that it cut the story short and adapted only the beginning of the manga⦠Otherwise it'd have quickly become obvious that it had no story to tell, nowhere to go.
If it's not too late, don't waste your time with this pathetic excuse for a yuri story and go read the original manga. It's noticeably more disturbing, but the characters have depth, evolve and converge toward an ending that works well (if a bit heavy-handed).
