Foreword
I want to start by saying that this is my first Review so dont expect any deep analyzation of characters or story elements Im not good with that. Im just trying to capture my thoughts on this Manga for anyone who thinks about reading it. English is also not my native language. All Spoilers are Marked.
Initial Thoughts
I discovered this Manga while browsing on Amazon after misreading the description I was intrigued and decided to order the first Volume.
I was expecting a How I met your Mother type story where our Main Girl explains how she met her Husband.
Now I just said that I misread the description. Thats because our protagonist Megumi is actually divorced. When I found out about that after I read the description again when the Volume arrived i was slightly disappointed since my previous expectations were completly wrong.
Non the less i gave the Manga a chance and holy am I glad I did for just 4 Volumes and 19 Chapters this Manga delivers on the Emotional side and with a really good message. Alltough Romance is a big part of the story its not really deep so dont expect any big cute/wholsome moments.
Artstyle
I dont have much to say about that other then that it feels really unique and I like it.
Story Pacing
The Manga starts a bit slow with Vol. 1 i actually paused it for a week before reading Volume 2. But Volume 2 was when I was hooked. I read the remaining 3 Volumes in one go. The story is really Emotional I had to try hard not to cry at the last few chapters but fortunately not in a sad way. Allthough I have to say it felt a little short at some points I wish the Author would have made a few chapters more for better development.
What I really appreciate is the Message the Author wants to get across: Be who you are. Stop worrying what other think about you.
I cant agree enough with this I really cant stand when someone tries to fit in for whatever reason because hes ashamed of what he likes or does. And thats exactly what the Author portrais with Megumi.
Thats why I enjyo the character development Megumi goes through in the current time chapters but again feel like its a little rushed.
Characters
Im not going to analyze much here but I think all characters are likeable and understandable in their actions.
The only character i felt came really short is Yui. The whole love Triangle the Author sets up again feels to rushed.
Conclusion
All in all I think the story and the Message of the Story is amazing and it was a really enjoyable read. My only real critique is that it felt a little rushed. The Manga could have profited from a little more character and world building. But besides that its really amazing. I give this Manga a 90/100 because I enjoyed it and it almost made me cry. My score is purely subjective Im not bothered to give it any objective rating that consists of writing style or character depth or whatever as said above Im not good at evaluating things like that.
Really good Manga can recommend. Hope they make an Anime adaptation. Thanks for reading
