Story:
It's not bad, but it's not amazing either. The romance is somewhat superficial and based solely on fluff, and there's really no complicating incident or event to look forward too. It's a cute little romance with no real grounding in reality. Nothing all that exciting takes place and nothing all that offensive does either. It's just a very basic premise with no real value beyond a simple, cute romance.
Art:
Not all that excellent, but there's definitely a style. It feels very western, almost as if it were in the Sunday paper. It's very rough sketch, but at one point I wondered if the mangaka's intention was

A true gem: Its unorthodox art style and experimental telling of the story - constantly blending alternative fantasy scenarios that allow us glimpses of the characters psyches - are an absolute joy. The realism in the portrayal of human doubt, worry, sex drive are all beautifully rendered in tiny details that let you guess, rather than be told. This realism and the tiny details that let you understand the inner worlds of the characters through glimpses make for a titillating read that feels rather sensual in nature without ever giving too much away.
The only complaint that someone may have from this story is that it ...

A sweet little josei about a couple with a large age gap, the lady being the older of the two (a dynamic I, personally, am quite fond of).
The plot is simple and rather linear, but is well executed and refreshing for it's lack of typical drama and angst. The characters are realistic, their circumstances and perspectives easy to relate to. The focus is solely on character's inner thoughts and reactions to one another, with very little time spent on fleshing out the setting, character backgrounds and supporting cast (though I don't believe that is entirely a negative). Est Em's beautiful art tells the story ...

This takes about maybe 30 minutes to finish and it's a real gem. It's like a good snack.
While there are already a lot of romance mangas that infuse food into them, this just uses udon. How udon is used to show their motivations and inner monologues as well as fantasies is really fun. Even until the very last chapter, udon is still somehow involved. Not only is the presentation creative but effective as well. Now I'm craving for some. Not too much comedy but what little it has is very effective and got some giggles out of me. No drama at all unless you choose to ... |
