That said, Nameless Asterism is neither the “women blurring gender lines” of Utena and Rose of Versailles, nor is it the schoolgirl “lesbians” of Maria Holic and its ilk. Yuri and shoujo ai manga, especially translated into English, is still pretty rare, so it’s not hard to feel like a breath of fresh air. (And you’ll never guess who she has a crush on….) Shiratori, as well as her friends, try to process and navigate their romantic feelings while not disrupting their friendship, further complicated by input from the outside world: boyfriends, Valentine chocolates, and Shiratori’s cross-dressing twin brother Subaru. Shortly after admitting her feelings to herself, she finds out said best friend has a crush… on their other best friend, Mikage Kotooka. This grouping of stars, set across the backdrop of an idyllic middle school, focuses on Tsukasa Shiratori, a girl harboring a crush on one of her best friends, Nadeshiko Washio. 1Īsterism: a small grouping of stars, smaller than a constellation, but connected. How did Seven Seas begin the year? With fresh releases, fresh series, and lots of cute to go around! In this go around, we have middle school crushes cute, chibi art style cute, 4koma comedy cute, cross-species kid friendships cute, prettyboys’ backstory angst cute… What do you mean, that last one’s not cute?
