You start to read this amazing (webtoon or eBook) manga and think: Well, what have I got myself into?! What is that romance dynamic? Hardly encountered one like that one... Well, reasonable questions and conclusion. And the answer is:
You got yourself into an authentic adult love story, telling us about a gemmy woman Chako who escaped an arranged marriage, your best cute girl Futaba (even better then Anya) and your definitely not communication-skilled but (to me at least) still so very lovable man Isshin. He definitely is not everyone's cup of "tea" - aaahaha - but if you keep in mind that he has a story and past himself too, you may be able to understand his behaviour;)
This story, surrounded by the theme 'tea' as they live and work on a tea-farm at quick time together, gets your heart for the sake of its mature love- and realistic life-dynamic. It's not the usual manga that goes around right now so this manga could be a bit irritating for some people but this is exactly what I personally searched for. If you also searching for a manga you can follow with your mature but shy heart - this is the right one. Convince yourself.
Yamanaka Umebachi is an awesome Mangaka, don't underestimate her storytelling. She surprised me with a lot of moments in the manga I really did not expect!
As far as I am informed UPDATE: there are now 32 Chapters (8 volumes) translated into English, and soon it'll be more. Whom I can't wait for. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
