Sesho's Anime and Manga ReviewsEpisode 2-- The Last Uniform Volume 1 by Mera HakamadaThis is a podcast review of Volume 1 of The Last Uniform, a manga written and drawn by Mera Hakamada, translated into English by Nancy Barron and Ben Applegate. It is one of the first volumes of "yuri" manga published by Seven Seas under their "Strawberry" line, which focuses on romantic relationships between girls. Don't get me wrong, yuri books can have lots of action as well, but The Last Uniform is definitely a school girl romance title. Innocent, wistful, and funny. Originally published in Japan by Houbunsha in 2005. Rated 16+ and priced at $11.99.
My Rating: A
