TL;DR: How to not write a story
Never thought of even writing a review for a particular yuri manga, but this is a special case. This just drives me crazy. In a really fucking terrible way.
It's a constant loop of the same fucking drama in the line of yuri. To make it more clear: It takes three chapters for the two protagonists to be a couple, but it takes twenty, and I say, TWENTY, chapters for the agonizing pointless drama to end. Oh it has no payoff, THAT'S RIGHT! IT HAS NO PAYOFF. You've already seen it in 17 fucking chapters ago. Think of it as something you would argue with your life partner for a long time, then when both of you resolve it, you and them realized that there's no lesson to be learnt in that argument, and it was fucking pointless, and it's just both sides being absolutely fucking idiots that couldn't muster enough strength to resolve it your own and with the partner, and everything that had happened is just a waste of precious time for both sides. That's everything you needed to know, and everything else that you did not know shouldn't be a topic of your curiousity because it's irrelevant or never brought up again.

The story has no meaning, it's looped in a psychotic way - being written to be as simple as possible so much it makes all the points that had happened look stupid and rather annoying to read just because it takes the longest path to solve the problem, rather than actively looking for a better path. That is when you realize: reading about 200 chapters of One Piece in one go might just be a better way to obtain temporary dementia rather than this. Literal definition of Insanity. It's so boring to read and drama takes more page discussions than the yuri itself, and on that note as well - the couple is just really bland. Really fucking bland, like a typical heterosexual couple commonly seen in other type of manga. Being tied to the story's dirteating drama type makes them look even worse. I can't recommend anyone to reading this at all. Shuu Yasaka's artstyle might be good, but goddamn they did not how to write or intentionally write a functional core story point. Literally one thing good - ten more things bad.

If you still insist on reading this: You will understand why that quality is much a better choice than quantity nowadays - for yuri. Especially with the current rises of the genre itself that was once niche and boomers used to complain about how they only have two (2) or just few more, but never exceed 10 actual yuri manga in a span of a year back then.
I fear not the person who create thousand plot points in a yuri manga, but I fear those that wrote yuri manga with the same plot architecture 10000 times.
