Synopsis

Dalia maintains the image of a cool and aloof university student, hiding that he is actually quite sensitive about his appearance, particularly his gangly limbs. Contrary to expectations, he has a major crush on his neighbor, Ruby, whose rippling muscles would put any bodybuilder to shame. Dalia can't help but admire her heroic and earnest attitude, not to mention her attractive body!

Not sure why this is getting such low reviews.

It's a short read but very worth it. It's a wholesome and complete story about a guy and his crush on his well muscled next door neighbor.

Art is solid, not ground breaking but more than good enough to convey the story

Character designs are great, simple, but they suit the personalities of the characters well. Also Ruby just looks great. From depth perspective the characters don't have a ton of detail to their back stories but enough to create a convincing story around them, flaws, insecurities, and all.

Very enjoyable read that can be completed in a causal afternoon.
