I'm going to be completely honest here: the censor blur on the uniform's school patch was super distracting and, for a moment, I thought it was supposed to imply that something was wrong with their boobs.

Anyway, the pacing is painfully drawn out and all I'm getting from the "plot" is that Erol's boba tea brings all the girls to the yard. It's pretty clear that this story is meant to be a collection of little moments in the lives of queer teens and I can at least appreciate it for that. Plot would be nice, but there doesn't need to be one if you're just looking for vibes and characters to relate to.

One episode is about those moments where you catch a glimpse of someone, feel an instant attraction, and want to get as close to them as possible. The next is about wanting to pursue a relationship and not being sure how to go about it. (Here, I am very grateful for the way the "romance" non-con kiss trope is handled!) And the last is about the struggle to confess your feelings before you miss your chance.

For the most part, the characters are great, but Yi Qing makes me super uncomfortable. I get that she's supposed to be awkward and cute, but she is really out here inviting herself over to her crush's house without even asking. I really do not like her one bit and no amount of cutesy posing is going to make this okay.

Unfortunately for anyone hoping for a conclusion to the main love triangle, the third episode ends with a cliffhanger. In a way, it tries to satisfy the shippers with a "choose your fighter" style end card where the canon falls short, possibly with the intention of filming another season that never came - so it gets one point in my book for creativity!
