This was very cute :D Though I couldn’t really fully appreciate it since every story is based on very heteronormative love and also I am not in high school anymore. I wish I read this when I was. I really did appreciate just the sheer feminine energy and expression of all the girls

Another Japanese author that I think deserves to be translated. In my opinion, she does best at short stories, so this collection would be a good candidate.
Yamada is a controversial writer, partly because of her background -- she worked in the sex industry as a dom queen while attending college and dating with US service men in Yokosuka base (with strong preference for black men) -- and partly because she frankly reflected her experience in many of her writing. (She also wrote many books that are more mainstream, including this one.)
I have no comment about her biography, but the thing is, she wrote well -- I'd say, until the mid or late 1990s.
This is an omnibus of what we now call YA short stories, with a female high school student as the protagonist. They are unbelievably beautiful and capture the ethereal feeling of love so well.

Such a short n sweet n lovely selection of stories ... Vivid descriptions of a sugary sweet high school life w mainly unknowing n naive gorls trynna navigate their/their friends' budding romances *swoon*
Every story made my heart ache in a different place every time. My fav stories were red zone and keynote
Also love to amy yamada for discussing teen pregnancy, promiscuity/sex and bullying !!!!!!
I also love the range of female protags in all of these. They're unapologetically female n sensitive n all mature and graceful as fuck. They stand for what is right and avoid pettiness n gossip. I loved all of them!!!!!!!!!
