So I've been reading a lot of Yuri Manga and this one was one of the first ones I've read. I loved it even though the love might seem a little twisted because they're step-sisters. I think the whole sister thing is it just helps their relationship because they're forced to see and interact. It also adds a new dynamic of Yuzu loving Mei but she comes to the realization of Mei needs a family not just a lover. Mei being left behind by her father and having a strict grandpa she keeps much to herself. Yuzu wants Mei to open up to her and trust her and not see her as someone who can be expendable so Yuzu takes advantage of being her older sister which is stronger than just someone who loves her in a romantic way. They have a beautiful cast of side characters to support them as well. We see Harumi as one of the main support to Yuzu as she was Yuzu's first friend in the series and watches Yuzu grow and change as Yuzu develops a relationship with Mei. Matsuri is the jealous little sister of Yuzu who at first is upset because she feels as if she's being replaced but comes to realize that Mei and Yuzu makes each other happy and they need each other making her become both their little sister. Matsuri helps push Yuzu and Mei deeper into their relationship. Himeko is Mei's best friend knowing her from childhood and the establishment of the Aihara's esteemed name creating a role for her as the person who loves Mei but helps Yuzu realize her position and how much Mei has to bear being the primary daughter and successor of the Aihara family. I found all these relationships to create a nice mix of angst, romance, and friendship. The relationship of Mei and Yuzu is a primary focus however you still see the other characters grow and mature alongside them and see people slowly begin to support and love them even if they're against them at first. Personally I rate this a five star
