A one-shot about calculated love? Sounds like something I'd read, but is that really all? I decided to go in completely blind.
Turns out that was the right call. The story was about two people visibly very different, but more similar once they get through those pesky first impressions. They've both dealt with their "broken" past in different ways, one choosing to live peacefully with stability and the other to face their problems head on. Meeting each other gives them insight on the other's perspective and helps them change for the better, as they slowly understand that they're pretty much the same. All that in a
...
pretty open-ended way that encourages its readers to think. Dealing with trauma is difficult and everyone deals with it their own way.
Personally, this manga made me think of the choices I would make to deal with this kind of terrible past. Would it be to sit back and do nothing or to face your problems? Maybe it's to find a partner and face the problem together. Who knows. It's up to the reader to decide. And yes this was quite the emotional ride.
Highly recommended for the art style (which gets progressively better by the end) and the short but memorable story line!
