Frankly, the manga could've worked without the yuri but the artist decided to include it because why the fuck not.
Though she'd had a lesbian side character in her other manga before. That's how I discovered SoraIro.
>The manga could have been even better if their relationship had been a bit more complex.I also felt it lacked a bit of punch. The manga production was troubled. It switched magazines, there was a long hiatus. Maybe it affected the story.
Still some chapters were powerful. I read the manga while listening to a melancholic album and it left an impression on me. There's something delicate about the girls' relationship that I don't find often in yuri manga.
