Chasing After Aoi Koshiba 1 (Chasing After Aoi Koshiba, #1)

by Fly

A wistful yuri romance about the intense feelings of youth, and the perspective and regrets that adulthood can bring, for fans of manga like Bloom Into You and Orange. From the creator of Masamune-kun's Revenge Hazuki Takeoka and acclaimed yuri artist Fly.
Sahoko had lots of friends in high school, so there's no shortage of people to catch up with at her reunion. But the one face she wants to see is missing: that of Aoi Koshiba, her classmate and first love. A star of the basketball team, Aoi caught Sahoko's eye as an easy way to score social points. But when Aoi quits the team, an unexpected kiss pulls Sahoko closer to her than she intended to be. With a difficult home situation, Aoi is in need of more than just a cynical social climber. She needs a true friend, and something more...

** A copy of this book was provided for free from NetGalley.com in exchange for an honest review. What I love most about this book is that the way it comes full circle while still leaving unasked questions making you want to dive into the next volume. This book in its short pages touches on so many things that keep you invested. At the first of the book, we see Sahoko at a class reunion, looking for someone named Aoi who isn't there, leading to the flashback of Sahoko in high school. You follow Sahoko, a young teenager who has a large following on social media who is coming to understand her sexuality and coming to terms with the fact that she's attracted to women, specifically a fellow classmate Aoi. Following Sahoko as she figures out that she has a crush on Aoi and does everything that she can to spend time with her as Adorable. I'd like to take a moment to mention that the art in this is amazing! I'm looking forward to the next book in this series and can't wait to read it!
