The Last Uniform vol. 1

Eek! Another great yuri series!  i’m in luck!

Welllll ~~~ I’m in love w/ this.  Many times over i thought i would die of excessive nosebleed while reading this.  Cute as hell.  The art is a little blocky and not too flashy, certaintly no Loveless, but the simpleness of it really goes well with the story and only adds to the sickening cuteness. 

As you could’ve guessed, it’s a yuri/loli series (again, i know…), but this is definitely one of my favorites because (take a note of this, you yuri series that suck *cough cough* venus versus virus) of the realness of the characters.  None of these girls are exessively brainless and hyperactive like…well, pretty much any other manga out there, but instead behave and think like actual people would.  Don’t get me wrong, the occasional Yuiko-like spazmatic ditz is welcome every now and then (why all the Loveless talk?), but that kind of character would be out of place in Uniform.

The basic story is pretty simple and doesn’t really have too much of a solid plot – five girls living in a dorm like each other, are too afraid to do anything about it, and in some cases don’t even know what it is they feel for each other.  My favorite of the pairings would have to be Fuu and Ai-chan, simply because Fuu is the type of tomboyish slapstick humor type gal the world needs more of, and Ai is an unsure ex-dork who loves her friend to bits.  Nevertheless, all of the love-interests are interesting and leave you with the “I don’t know who to cheer for!” thing going on. 

Another note – there are no “bad” characters.  There is one upperclassmen who’s a totall perv ( i like her >.<), but that’s about as far as the anti-hero thing goes.  This is the first manga that had me won over with the very first page.  The princess/prince thing is a killer for me – im head over heels in love.  The only problem i can think of with the first volume is how Anzu randomly seems to fall for Tsumugi.  First she hates her, then she’s madly obbessed.  Don’t get me wrong, the lengths she goes to win even a glance from the other girl is not only cute but funny, however it wouldn’t have killed for a little depth in the situation.  Another yuri/loli title from Seven Seas Entertainment.  So far i only have 5 books from them & im liking thier releases better than the “big publishers” like tokyopop.
