  In a world where everyone has turned gay, a girl struggles with being straight. What could go wrong with this premise?

  Everything. Everything could go wrong.

  (This review contains spoilers!)

  For starters, the only half-decent way a premise like this one could MAYBE work out, was if the target audience were homophobic straight people and the author had as their goal to make those people put themselves in the place of LGBT people so they could, maybe, yank some empathy out of them, so they could start seeing LGBT people as... you know, people. Even then, something like this could easily backfire for many reasons that I assume you can imagine.

  Well, this clearly wasn't the goal anyway, so let's start from here.

  Kazusa is a girl who lives in a world where same-sex attraction is the norm. When I started reading this mess I thought the world simply was like that from the beginning, but nope. The world turned that way around 30 years ago when, I kid you not, a meteor hit Earth and due to the effects (?) of said meteor's influence, suddenly straight people's sexuality was swapped and now everyone is gay. Many divorces happened.

  At that time, there was an astronaut in a mission to space, so when he came back he was not influenced by the meteor's energy (?) and continued to be straight. That man is Ayumu's grandpa. Ayumu is Kazusa's childhood friend. So grandpa became their town token straight person.

  Back to the present, Kazusa is struggling with the fact that she's heterosexual and oh-my-god-what-will-people-think?? and she's in love with her best (male) friend, Ayumu. She wants to confess her feelings to him but is scared of judgment and such. Later she gets to know another boy who's also straight, and everything ends with a lesson about how the world is filled with all kinds of different people and that's okay and love matters more than sexual orientation. That would be okay if it weren't for the fact that after Kazusa confesses her feelings to Ayumu, he says he's not heterosexual, but she's still the one he loves most and wants her to be with him until the end of his life. That, after Ayumu's grandma, who had divorced his grandpa because she was in love with a woman, showed up saying she had divorced her wife because despite being a lesbian now, she realized Ayumu's grandpa was still the person she loved most (even though he's dead now). No matter how you look at this, the only bs message I could take from this ending is that you can still be with someone of the opposite sex even if you're gay because love and sexuality aren't that deeply related and love is stronger anyway. If this isn't homophobic (and overall stupid), I don't know what it is.

  That's it, this manga is absolutely ridiculous. Even if you don't consider the homophobic premise, why the hell would a world where everyone was straight 30 years ago suddenly get mad at the few people who are straight now? It makes no sense. And I didn't even tell you how reproduction in this world happens yet! Well, I'll tell you now: "Since the meteors fell, same-sex couples are able to conceive, too. Well, like, science hasn't been able to explain it yet. But they say the one whose love is strongest gets pregnant." That's it. It's the power of love, fellas. And did I mention the meteor has the shape of a heart?

  I rest my case.

  Story - 1/10 absolutely terrible
  Characters - 2/10 as bland as you can imagine
  Art - 7/10 kinda generic for a shoujo manga, but pretty. Definitely this manga's only strong point.
  Overall - 3/10 it was so ridiculous it made me laugh at some parts so it wasn't a total waste of time I guess.
