Another one to add to my simply wholesome manga list!
An invisible man, only his clothes are visible, and a blind girl with over-powered senses falling in love, while working in a supernatural and paranormal detective agency. The premise is already interesting with a lot of room for adventures and mishaps to explore, but what I like most is the earnest, adorable relationship.
Tounome, Invisible Man, is a constant professional and an absolute gentleman. The artist excels with drawing men’s fashion, and I enjoy seeing his array of suits. This man is dapper! But he’s also kind-hearted.
These two see each other in a way no one else can. And the tea date was so thoughtful and cool. I’m sure there are real-life tea shops like this, but I’ve never thought about it.
Anyway, I already have volume two. I hope my interest doesn’t wane for this series because it’s seriously cute so far.
SN: the elf couple is so fun, namely the husband with crackhead energy. I’m sure the translation had an interesting time (the father doesn’t want his white elf daughter dating a “dark” elf; genuinely wondering what made them not do light/dark elves) And one of the characters feels straight out of DeviantArt, but in a good way.
Also, this is a workplace romance/ because he’s technically dating his secretary/admin assistant. In real life it’s a power imbalance, but it’s cute here so …
