Opinion: The art is so good. And that’s as good as it gets.

Super short one shot, cute-ish couple, but I’m never a fan of the heroine giving 100% and the male lead giving bare minimum. The entire plot is the heroine chases the male lead down and he’s super cold and barely interested in the heroine. By the end of the book he figures out he loves her but it’s ok that he gives bare minimum cause the heroine doesn’t care.

If a low-key do nothing man is your thing you will love this.
