In the end I think the oneshot was better. I think it had far more impact in its short number of pages (also better art).
I think a big problem of the story is its pacing, nevermind the awful release schedule (of the OG work, 6 months for a chapter? Jeez). Kagis spent too much time setting...
I was pleasantly surprised she had Yajima explicit define himself as bi (or rather not straight), he technically did it in his mind in V1, but it's good to see it written in text in front of Torikai. Oshima is good at this kind of stuff, giving her manga a touch of realism that makes the story...
