Midori is a taciturn woman, a loner. She’s got a job that she doesn’t mind much and a place to live. But, if she were honest, she doesn’t have much of a life.She’s not in the habit of taking risks. So, when one night she’s heading home and comes across a girl sleeping in a garbage bag pile, she has no idea what possesses her. Midori ends up taking the girl – Airi – home.

As Mii-chan to Airi, Volumes 1 & Volume 2 (みーちゃんとアイリcontinue, it becomes obvious that what possessed her was, in actual fact, magic. Airi is a girl from a magical dimension. Her magic brings color and sparkle into Midori’s life and before she knows it, she likes having the other woman around.

And that’s all well and fine, but Airi isn’t able to stay, she says. Her family situation is complicated and she has to go. Only now Midori knows what she wants out of life…and that something is Airi.  She follows Airi to her family’s dimension and puts her life on the line for what is important to her.

Even after Airi’s grandmother puts a condition on them, threatening to take Airi’s magic, Midori doesn’t back down.  Midori and Airi promise to take care of each other and a kiss seals their promise…and returns Airi’s magic! They return to Midori’s apartment where Midori realizes that now she has something she’s never had before…friends and family and love. Airi’s magic has changed her world.

I didn’t review volume 1 of this series, because I was genuinely unsure if it would actually be a Yuri manga in the end, but as unfocused and goofy as Volume 1 was, Volume 2 found its footing and moved story and characters to an enjoyable end.

The art is messy at best and the story gets lost in it’s own silliness sometimes, but for a light fluffy cotton-candy Yuri, you could do far worse.
