this series is actually infectious???
yumeko is such a charming and optimistic protagonist, and not in a toxic positivity kind of way. her inner light is just so bright and healing to those around her; you can't help but want to be her friend! and the self-love she has really does seem genuine. i love that this manga is NOT about her he being plus-sized (though it does come up often), but about her embracing her own passions unapologetically and forming new relationships with those she might have admired from afar in the past.
not quite sure how the homicide element will pan out, either... tbh, i don't think the story even needs it! i'm enjoying this so much...
