A manga about a young woman Emi who meets a DJ named Kei and steps into a new world of club culture and relationships.
A cute yuri story. My co-host Seamus recommended it to me and I enjoyed it. The character designs weren’t really my style but the art in general reminded me a lot of Laid-Back Camp and was done well. I’m glad it wasn’t very long because I probably wouldn’t care enough about it to continue a really long story. Pretty predictable as far as where the relationship between Emi and Kei goes but it was done well and I liked that it didn’t take place in a school setting.
If you’re into good yuri manga then I’d recommend this. Available through VIZ media.
