It’s fine

Below are some old notes I took while reading but I still agree with them after powering through ch35-50. Ending didn’t add anything for me. I do respect that the author went to a pottery studio to do her research for this story, it absolutely shows.

From being really excited to falling out of love towards the end (ch32) the pacing is a little off most of the time, a little rushed. Writing was not really convincing to me, the part where the ex is introduced was very strange. His reasoning for his actions, just in general seemed over the top ridiculous, just lacking basic common sense. Even though so many things are happening I felt the story is overall sort of oddly emotionless. Characters are older but acted more like people in their early 20s. Beginning was so cute and I’m enjoying but it just feels off, still worth a read it is quite different from other comics.

Update; Okay the characters are so wishy-washy, a big issue was I felt the start was setting up for a slow burn, but they just immediately like each other, conflicts come and go and feel superficial, it just sort of lost me after that point. Really feels like I’m reading a teen romcom. Male lead is very immature, female lead is even more immature and also insecure, but at the speed their relationship went it feels like these issues should already have been addressed in some way. They don’t really communicate.

Very much enjoyed the ceramics aspect of the story, there were some cool perspectives on art. Pacing is not great, but story is still enjoyable, I just lost interest in the characters fairly early on.

Kodama's Best (So Far)

I think Kodama hit her stride with this manga and my expectations for her future work have been raised significantly.

There is one speedbump late in the run, revolving around FL's insecurity about ML being abroad. I didn't care for how that was handled, even though they end up together in Finland. For it to happen so late also tells me that Kodama may not have been as confident in her story as initially indicated.

As far as romance manga go, this is one of the best and I give it my highest recommendation.

What a surprise, I wonder how this never popped up for me. But atleast I got to read it when it was completely scanlated 😁

For the hesitant commenter below, there's no tragedy tag and it's not even bittersweet hehe~ Actually I was happily surprised by the lack of drama drama there was, especially compared to some of her previous work.

Instead we got 10 wonderful volumes of irritated coworkers to mutual muses to lovers.

And while there is some drama (it is a tag), it's the normal relationship type, and it was toward the end, like a climax.

Anyway a solid josei! I love the colored webtoons and manhwas of recent times, but there's just something special about the classic Japanese manga. Someone recommend me something recent like this please~

A slow burn romance, but like in a more mature way than the usual "will they, won't they". Each have their own background and the way that they connect through pottery is a truly an art. There are only 29 chapters till this date and boy, the author sure know how to deliver in each one of them. Don't know how it'll end and yet I already know that I'll like it

I don't like to go into series without knowing a little bit more about them. Can anyone tell me if this has a happy ending?
