Manga Thoughts: Goodbye, my Rose Garden

I do keep reading “girls’ love” manga, even if I’m in a demographic where the motives for that might start mixing into something murky. (I have been willing to think it somehow helps inoculate me against wanting to see any character connection whatsoever in a story without much in the way of gender balance as “slashy,” then getting annoyed at “tease without committment.”) With Bloom Into You having finished a while ago, perhaps I’m casting around for something that can be held up. Not that long ago, though, I did reach the end of a three-volume series that had its own appeals.
