"Knife Edge Girl / Graffiti / Torte Fromage" is a trio of oneshot stories about young yuri love. Put plainly you've probably read manga like this before if you have any interest in F/F relationships at all from any angle, but while they don't do a ton to break the usual mold, all three are very well-made, and each (either individually or in tandem) is guaranteed to bring some warm fuzzies to your heart.

"Knife Edge Girl" is (contrary to its dangerful title) the story of a student about to take an important exam and her maybe-girlfriend, a hardworking lass with her own car. The two have an adorable dynamic and bounce off each other well over the course of the story, leading to a conclusion that I'll not spoil but nearly made me "aww" aloud.

"Graffiti" is the most unique of the three. Centering around two students--one a full-time day student, the other who attends classes part time at night--who sit in the same desk at their school. They communicate via doodles on their desk, and despite the odd circumstance of their meeting. The relationship, when it does blossom, comes so naturally and believably that it's almost hard to believe that it's not based off of real events.

"Torte Fromage" is the palette cleanser of sorts. This story (about an officeworker who meets and falls for an indie theater actor) is a bit quicker in pacing and has less oomph than the prior two, but it's still cute, and provides a nice finish after having read the other two.

Finally there are two short extras. One where the "Knife Edge Girl" couple reunite and we get some closure on an unresolved plot point at the end of that story, and another where the three casts meet and advertise the book. It's nothing mindblowing but it's a fun little excursion that really rounds out the experience.

If you like yuri you'll find a lot to love in these three oneshots. They're pleasantly free of hackneyed attempts at "realism", tonedeaf issue-tackling, or soap opera melodramatics, anyone looking for some sugary girls' love sweetness can read these with ease. I do hope the author dips their hand into the genre more in the future.
