This is my first yuri EVER so ofcourse im going to shower praises. As you can already tell, I am a HUGE yaoi fan looking in to yuri just next door. This is truly untrodden grounds for me so... yeah. Also, I am a terrible reviewer so bare with me and I hope this helps. When I thought I should start reading/watching yuri I had doubts because mostly of what I know about yuri is that it contains: ecchi, sex, fanservice, big boobs, and almost plotless... This however, proved me wrong. The feeling was light hearted and innocent from enemy to best friend without getting into theheart felt love quite as fast as I thought it would.Just the feeling of friendship was good enough for me. The art was as beautiful as always, Eki Eiki. I really enjoyed this. Hopefully I can find other yuri as great in storyline.
A sci-fi story set in a future where men have died off. Women have been divided into two groups: Adams and Eves. Each has a set role in society. The protagonist, an Adam, has just entered Kingdom Academy. Romantic relationships between Adams are forbidden there, so I'm sure you can all guess where this is going... (Source: Lililicious)
A yuri with a surprisingly heavy message. (The following is revealed in the first chapter so don't worry about spoilers.) The premise of the plot is that a disease has killed all of the men and only women remain, with humanity surviving only through artificial insemination. Surprisingly, society is still gender separated, with women being divided into "Adams" and "Eves." Adams are assigned male roles and Eves are assigned female roles. The story follows Aoi, an Adam whose goal is to overturn the status quo and get revenge (what for is something you should read for yourself). He especially hates the etoiles, the elites of society.Unexpectedly, at his time with the school, he develops a friendship with one of them. What this friendship grows and develops into is something you'll have to see for yourself. But of course, this story is tagged "yuri" for a reason. Overall, I found the plot to be quite interesting. The obstacles they faced were not trivial. Despite hating the "antagonist" from the beginning, I eventually realized that no one was truly evil. Everyone had their own reasons and their own motivations. I enjoyed the conclusion as well. In many ways, it follows a "school yuri" format. In all significant aspects, however, it is definitely something different. I found the pacing to be very reasonable. The art is fine, it did not distract me from the main story. I appreciated the characters. The side characters were especially enjoyable. It might be weird for some people as this story is almost a "yaoi relationship within a yuri relationship." However, for me, it is definitely yuri. The themes of the story especially impacted me. Like how, in a world with only one sex, there still can be discrimination and limitations on who we can love. The backstories on some of the parents of the characters were especially sad. It's also a commentary on how not following social constructions as arbitrary as the ones in the story (dividing the female gender into two separate genders) can cause us to be left out and shunned. And, of course, similar to many other yuri mangas, this story is also a testament to the powers of love. Anyway, sorry about this rambling and this non-traditional review. Despite being only 17 chapters, this manga ranks as one of my favorites.
Huh, that was an interesting premise that.. wasn't very good. As many reviews and comments I read said, this is the most yaoi yuri I have read. Plenty of predictable twists and clichés that I despise and a rushed conclusion makes this a weak manga. I wish the characters were more interesting. When a character fills the role of a trope, that is all they will be; this can be applied to every character. At best, they might have one detail you learn later, but it isn't an interesting twist. They fulfill their roles and satisfy the weak clichés the story demands, but don't find anycharacter more memorable than the others. The story has an interesting premise with the death of all males and females having to fill the role of males, but the whole time I didn't understand why. That's okay because the answer the manga gives is, "Well we gotta." It's used to create tension and drama by threatening expulsion and ostracization by society. The ending feels like it was supposed to be dramatic, but it was rushed and bland. I won't spoil it, but it feels like it put the cart in front of the horse. Heck, the first half of chapter 16 is just them telling you the predictable twist. 4/10 I recommend finding a better yuri (or yaoi if that's actually what you wanted) to spend time reading. It was okay but boring and predictable; it was a very specific cliché that made me give it below a 5. You can find it on page 5 of chapter 16 if you're curious of which one it is.
