Kimi-iro Shoujo Perfect Edition (キミイロ少女 完全版), is a reprint by Ichijinsha of the debeut collection by Miman-sensei, whose Watashi no Yuri ha Oshigoto Desu! was just licensed by Kodansha as Yuri is My Job!.

I originally reviewed this book in 2014 when it was initially released as a way to introduce a new manga artist. Now, with an established reputation, I think the book warrants a second look. In my original review, I noted than the stories  were all fairly basic girl-likes-girl and nothing here has been altered. Somewhat surprisingly, there’s no new content, either. But it’s a solid Story A collection and, if your’re a fan of Miman-sensei’s work, it’s a good look at their early years. 

Of these stories, the one that still stands strongest is the one about a girl on the track team who has to come to terms with the truth of why she limits herself.

Because this is a short story collection, characters are a little on-dimensional, but they do their best in limited page count.

Overall – 7 Still a solid, stolid Yuri collection.

This was a nice, comfortable book for my second downtime read while on vacation, with the also-comfortable The Ides of April by Lindsey Davis. and the not-at-all-comfortable, but brilliant Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor. ^_^
