There wasn't enough going on for me to care about the characters, and while the stylish art could be intriguing, it could as often be overly simplistic. The two-color scheme (which two colors changed per very short chapter) was striking, but the hats made me keep thinking of 80s Soviets.

Dear Self, 

READ THE BLURB!

Signed,
Myself

I went in blind, which I don't recommend, read the blurb first cause it will save you any confusion! 

Anyways, this was such a unique story and quite liked it! Honestly, I don't even know how to explain my feelings, but I just loved this and the characters. The art is stunning and overall, just something that I haven't quite read before.

My feelings for this book is akin to me laying on the ground, hands below my chin, and fluttering my legs in glee. I can't wait to dive into volume 2 to immerse myself in this beauty!

Thank you to UdonEntertainment for ARC.

This is one of the most unique and visually stunning books I’ve ever read. Just look at the blurb and you’ll see what I mean.

I went in blind and I was CONFUSED ASFFFFF. I had no idea what was going on. And then I read the blurb and was stunned because WOW.

The story is part prose, part manga, and part artistry. Some scenes are just images. Some are POVs from inanimate objects. It’s wild and a bit twisted and utterly addicting!

Simply beautiful! This is a lovely story between platonic and romance, I felt a thump in my heart chest reading this manga. The paneling gives a glimpse of their intertwined lives. With vivid colors, wonderful fashion, and dynamic characters. The divide between being a reader and the characters is thin.

It’s akin to sitting near a pair of bantering strangers in a cafe that gives off an intimate air before they leave out the door in arm and arm. There’s soft magic in these pages, saying so little but telling so much with expressions.

The story is written in short-form; each chapter features a vignette unrelated to any greater overarching plot. Which I love how thin the “veil” is and feel that we are blessed to read it translated. I have already preordered my copy of this manga. I am so excited to display it at home when it’s released. Thank you for NetGalley and the publisher Udon Entertainment for the arc!

Thank you to NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for the ARC. My opinions are my own. 
NOTE: Elements from this review are also used in the review for volume 2.

TLDR: A blind woman and a police officer have a chance encounter which a sweet friendship blooms from. Full of beautiful art. 4 stars

A blind woman bumps into a man. They get to know each other, and he offers her a job. They are now coworkers. Their relationship deepens, but they still keep a respectful distance. 

These two are so sweet. They really have THE relationship with each other. They tease and comfort, push each other up, and protect each other. I really enjoyed reading about these two. There are basically no other characters here, so they get all the pages for themselves. 

Story is ... not here? I would say this manga contains mostly snippets only. Daily life scenarios. Nothing wrong with that. Just don't expect a super fleshed out story. 

The art in this manga is BANGER. I really loved it. In between chapters you get these beautiful prints of him and her. Separate, and together. Absolutely stunning. I might in part have picked this up because I admire the artist's work.

Audience is hard to pinpoint. It fits for any age from middle school and up. Exactly what kind of person, I am not sure. It fit for me because of the art, it might for you too. Maybe it is an "everyone should read this" kind of thing. 

I am giving this 4 stars. Stunning art, sweet panels, and I know there is more to come. Definitely reading any other volume the author puts out. No questions asked. Highly recommend.
