Everything. Everything could go wrong.
This review contains spoilers
For starters the only halfdecent way a premise like this one could MAYBE work out was if the target audience were homophobic straight people and the author had as their goal to make those people put themselves in the place of LGBT people so they could maybe yank some empathy out of them so they could start seeing LGBT people as... you know people. Even then something like this could easily backfire for many reasons that I assume you can imagine.
Well this clearly wasnt the goal anyway so lets start from here.
Kazusa is a girl who lives in a world where samesex attraction is the norm. When I started reading this mess I thought the world simply was like that from the beginning but nope. The world turned that way around 30 years ago when I kid you not a meteor hit Earth and due to the effects ? of said meteors influence suddenly straight peoples sexuality was swapped and now everyone is gay. Many divorces happened.
At that time there was an astronaut in a mission to space so when he came back he was not influenced by the meteors energy ? and continued to be straight. That man is Ayumus grandpa. Ayumu is Kazusas childhood friend. So grandpa became their town token straight person.
Back to the present Kazusa is struggling with the fact that shes heterosexual and ohmygodwhatwillpeoplethink?? and shes in love with her best male friend Ayumu. She wants to confess her feelings to him but is scared of judgment and such. Later she gets to know another boy whos also straight and everything ends with a lesson about how the world is filled with all kinds of different people and thats okay and love matters more than sexual orientation. That would be okay if it werent for the fact that after Kazusa confesses her feelings to Ayumu he says hes not heterosexual but shes still the one he loves most and wants her to be with him until the end of his life. That after Ayumus grandma who had divorced his grandpa because she was in love with a woman showed up saying she had divorced her wife because despite being a lesbian now she realized Ayumus grandpa was still the person she loved most even though hes dead now. No matter how you look at this the only bs message I could take from this ending is that you can still be with someone of the opposite sex even if youre gay because love and sexuality arent that deeply related and love is stronger anyway. If this isnt homophobic and overall stupid I dont know what it is.
Thats it this manga is absolutely ridiculous. Even if you dont consider the homophobic premise why the hell would a world where everyone was straight 30 years ago suddenly get mad at the few people who are straight now? It makes no sense. And I didnt even tell you how reproduction in this world happens yet Well Ill tell you now: Since the meteors fell samesex couples are able to conceive too. Well like science hasnt been able to explain it yet. But they say the one whose love is strongest gets pregnant. Thats it. Its the power of love fellas. And did I mention the meteor has the shape of a heart?
I rest my case.
Story 1/10 absolutely terrible
Characters 2/10 as bland as you can imagine
Art 7/10 kinda generic for a shoujo manga but pretty. Definitely this mangas only strong point.
Overall 3/10 it was so ridiculous it made me laugh at some parts so it wasnt a total waste of time I guess.
