Tags are drama and romance right? I’ll add an extra for you: nonsense.
This manga has the same issues I have with many linear romances and that’s it has no sense of direction. This is different than something like a slice-of-life where the direction is free flowing. To start off, Henshuu no Isshou introduces who we will be following and that is struggling manga editor Tateyama. That’s it. That is literally all you need to know about a character as bland as unseasoned food. Now while those introduced around him are a bit more dynamic than that, they don’t get much page time, hence the name
...
“A Life In Editing”. We are briefly introduced to the style of work that Yokozawa, Tateyama’s managing author, will employ in his time as her editor. This garners much more interest until you remember it has the drama tag.
Tateyama meets with an old acquaintance and while at dinner with her receives a call from Yokozawa. She has an errand for him. His acquaintance can tell it’s a women’s voice on the phone and snatches it, telling her that he’s busy at the moment and can’t go. However, he buckles and leaves knowing this is a important opportunity for him and he doesn’t want to mess it up. He reaches Yokozawa’s residence, and after some talking she seems to confess to him.
It may come as a shock but seeing as these two didn’t know each other a week ago I found this quite odd. To preface, I will admit it’s early so this could be another part of Yokozawa’s strange behavior, or it could be adding a love triangle element this early. To judge it right now it’s an all over the place set of sequences that left me thinking “why am I reading this” which is one of the worst revelations a reader can have.
Sticking with it out of force of habit alone.
