Personally, I'm fed up with this kind of romance and I'll try to explain why: typically when I read an LGBTQ+ romance, I expect it to avoid and correct certain flaws in heterosexual relationships, notably the domination dynamics between the characters, for example a rich man who dominates his wife through his social and economic position, with sometimes the age gap intensifying all that. And don't get me wrong, I don't want mangakas to portray an idealistic couple without any domination relationships, because that would just be pure fantasy and not believable.
But why do they always reproduce the same patterns without questioning them?
Here with Indou and Kagami we still have an older character with a hierarchical position of domination taking advantage of a younger one (kissing her without even explaining her intentions) just because she's one of the prettiest in the cadet class...! What's more, with a candid Indian girl still trying to find her place in this military school. And even at the end of the seire, as many have pointed out, Indou exposes a rather banal speech about: 'Stop seeing my mother in me, I want to become what I want to be'; I mean, I understand, but I would have expected a more intelligent conflict and final resolution.
Nor can I stand the idea that at no point in the manga is the army as an institution criticized: why invade other nations (the Meiji period in Japan and the rise of the Japanese colonial empire), kill foreigners and accept to die on the battlefield? For the “greatness” of our empire? And if our parents died because of this country's imperialist project, is it an honor to continue to serve this empire and accept to also die in an episode of expansionist conquest?
I highly recommend reading Octave by Akiyama Haru, for interesting relationships and development despite the original situation of domination, or How do we relate by Tamifull: both are among my favorite yuri mangas of all time
