Sweet Short Story
A perfectly sweet little story about two adult women's inner dialogue of hoping to confess their feelings to each other, but fear and past pain keep them apart. This is VERY short, but it made me feel so much for the two protagonists and it has a very sweet ending. Nothing smutty here. Positive LGBTQ representation.
A Fluffy, Sweet, Fun Read with a Realistic Story
Full Disclosure: I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Why Does Love Do This To Me? is an excellent Yuri story that feels like the best fanfiction and reality all at the same time. Saki and Omori are sweet as can be, and thankfully, so is the climax of this one-shot story. The humor and romance are balanced quite well, making for a near-perfect read: you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll laugh again. It’s just that good! Every Yurijin should pick this up: it’s one of the best doujinshi of 2020!
fun read
It's cute. Very funny to watch two office ladies play three-dimensional chess against each other trying to figure out each other's feelings. The resolution is a little dramatic for my tastes; still, an enjoyable read.
Well-done yuri showing the potential misunderstandings of not-quite dating, both funny and sad.

This lovely yuri romance between coworkers hits right in the sweet spot of being uncertain about having your feelings reciprocated, and proactively trying to send signals. Both the humour and drama works very well in this book, and readers are sure to fall in love with these two women and their struggles.
