Thank you to NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for the ARC!

A beautifully presented series of vignettes (with a sprinkle of prose and sketches) following the daily lives of Emma, a visually impaired runaway from a rich family, and Alexander, a police officer, after their chance meeting. Kotteri has a clear love of fashion, placing the pair in well-tailored outfits galore accented by use of color. This is a story that trusts the reader to draw their own conclusions about the characters' relationships, though their chemistry and care for each other is undeniable regardless of whether it is platonic or otherwise. I'm curious as to whether or not the status quo will remain the same in the next volumes or if we'll explore Emma's past any further, but either way it's sure to be a treat for the eyes.
