Story: 8/10
While I do understand its somewhat of a Cinderella story, it is still beautiful and well written. I love the historical Japanese vibe it gives and the mystery surrounding the Main character (Miyo) background is also Interesting and continuously made me curious. I love me a good story with some trauma in the mix and boy, Miyo gets a lot of it. The soft romance is very sweet and wholesome it just makes you happy there is a sense of healing going on in the development of Miyo herself. Kiyoka Kudou I really enjoy how he comes across in the beginning and as you continue reading it, you just see how much of a sweet and loving man he really is.
Art: 9/10
I absolutely love the art. It's a very soft art style and the covers for each chapter and volume is absolutely stunning. There are scenes that give off that sweet romance energy and then scenes that give you that heartbreaking traumatic feeling within Miyo's life. The artist did a beautiful job capturing the emotions of the characters in my opinion.
Characters: 8/10
I personally enjoyed all the characters! They all help bring the story to life. I will say my least favorite is probably Kouji Tatsuishi. He's not a bad character or anything it's just more of he feels like he's just kind of there; it's not a bad thing though. I do hope to see more development with him because I do feel like he could be a great ally later on. I am currently only 23 chapters in at the moment so things could change.
Final Opinion: Manga is an 8/10 for me!
Beautiful art and story! If you are a fan of historical drama, romance especially the sweet lovey-dovey ones, traumatic backstory, and mystery, please do give this a try!
