Seems to have a promise, though I’ll have to give it a few more chapters to know which Shoujo Ai we’re talking here: the “best friends forever” type, or the “yuri but without the graphic sex scenes” type. Frankly, I’m hoping for the ladder. Been burned on too many “shoujo ai” manga and anime that teased romance, but never even had a single kiss in it let alone a little friskiness. Hopefully this author makes it clear upfront which route this story is going to take and doesn’t string us along.
