I figured I would probably like this, but I had no idea how much I would truly enjoy this precious story. I cannot wait to read more.
This series is sweet and very funny, but I was not prepared for how moving it would be at times. Its window into an older woman's life and her daily concerns, challenges, and joys is so refreshing and touching. It's wonderful to read about a friendship forming over a shared passion, which feels so genuine - that passion being BL is extra fun to read about as a BL fan, but really it could be anything because anyone can understand that joy of being so excited to talk to the one person who really gets [that thing you're into] - at the heart of it this series is similar to "Sasaki to Miyano" in that way! (though of course a different type of relationship & genre :P) Love the art style as well, it's airy, cute and charming.
Unsurprisingly, this book is exactly my speed. An 75-year-old widow forms a friendship with a socially awkward high school girl over their shared love of yaoi manga. Cute, funny, light-hearted, with hidden depths.
