Love, That's an Understatement, Vol. 1 by Fujimomo

5.0

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley!

This manga is so refreshing and enjoyable. We have characters with actual depth to them, art that is beautiful and a plot that is paced really well. Risa is a great MC and in just one volume I was really drawn in to wanting to know more about her and see how she continues to grow and come out of her shell. With past trauma's and the burden of being forced to grow up/act responsibly too soon (something many of us also deal with) she has been left being very shut in to herself and feeling like if she CANT do it on her own then she is a failure. This is something I think so many people can relate to in one way or another. Zen is also a character with great depth as there is much more to him than what your first impression would lead you to believe.

Their connection is very genuine and built slowly in a healthy way. Too many manga rely on physical attraction, insta-love, etc to get the romance going and that's what makes Zen and Risa very refreshing.

I cant wait to read more volumes of this one!
