While Takebe is determined to leave her past self behind, Soramori doesn’t want her to change, frustrating Takebe who feels she is not getting the support she needs to accomplish her goal of becoming a “normal” adult.

I can see Takebe getting frustrated because a big part of her character is that she wants to be a functioning adult instead of an angry teenager who brawls all the time. It was a reach for me for it to cause such a falling out. It was funny to see it all come full circle as they have a fistfight about it rather than talking it out but this volume was just okay. 3 out of 5.

Since Soramori got Takebe to go out with her after a bet, Soramori keeps trying to find things they can to together as a proper couple. However, it seems Takebe is just going along with this because she lost that bet meanwhile Soramori has genuine feelings for her.

This volume is Soramori trying different activities to try and bring them closer together. The progression of their relationship here feels natural to me. It’s a bit slow but they’re still in the phase where they’re getting to know each other. They have a nice dynamic that’s pretty entertaining to watch. 3.5 out of 5.

As an adult, Takebe is trying to leave her delinquent past behind her in favor of a more traditional look and persona. As she’s shopping, she runs into Soramori, a former rival from high school. Turns out Soramori wants one final fight and if she wins, she gets to date Takebe.

This is a cute, laid back, clean lesbian romance. And yes, it was the title that caught my eye first and it still makes me laugh. Takebe and Soramori make a great odd couple. The premise clearly will lead to a happy ending but I enjoy their interactions as they get used to the idea of being in a relationship. There’s not much yuri I’ve come across that’s clean enough for a teen to read so that’s a plus. It’s pretty generic but it got a chuckle out of me. 3.7 out of 5.
