Koushin Koinu ni Koibumi wo

First yuri manga, read it for it's military aesthetic, stayed for its story and romance. Story: Well the story of Koushin Koinu ni Koibumi wo is more than just yuri, it showcases the idea of having someone as an inspiration, being motivated by that someone to do better and someday becoming a person that can watch over them or be with them till the end of the world. It's really cute how we get to see Indou slowly develop herself each chapter and how her development also affects the people around her. Art: The art itself is really good, a lot of cute characters, and a lot of funnyIndou faces as well. Scenes are drawn pretty well along with the expressions of the characters that really makes this manga worth reading. Characters: Indou is adorable, each of her scenes are fun to read, it kind of makes you think that the author had fun drawing her. Kagami is also really good as she gives off that cool type of a person, plus she has a cute side as well. The rest of the cast, though relatively short, are also memorable as some of them have persons they also care for and what helps motivate them into becoming a better person. Enjoyment: The manga itself is a fun one, it's a take on the yuri genre with a military theme. The scenes are drawn with love and is enjoyable, the yuri on this manga is somewhat tame, and is understandable given that its theme follows around military principles and rules. I like it though, it's short and sweet. Overall, if you want a nice yuri manga with girls dressed in military uniforms, then this is your manga. Underrated, worth calling it a hidden gem.

A Love Letter for the Marching Puppy is a very sweet read for fans of yuri and/or the military. The manga takes place in feudal Japan and stars a small cast of girls who are training at a military school, the girls are all very different in personality and age. The art is beautiful and the story is well written, however, the story is simple and easy to grasp so if you are looking for something progressive that breaks tropes this isn't it. A Love Letter for the Marching Puppy uses some fairly common tropes of both yuri and the general romance genre, however, despite usingsome commonly seen tropes they work in favor of the story because it isn't long enough for any particular thing to become grating. It's fairly short, only taking me a couple of hours to read over a month or so. However, despite being short the pacing is good, not perfect but good. The cast are all compelling in their own ways but the manga focuses mainly on Indou and Kagami, their relationship and the hardships they face individually. If you are looking for a short and sweet read with a simple and easy to grasp plot but one that still has depth and well written characters behind it then this is it. Bonus if you like the setting and art.
