Mystery, Psychological ❌
Romance, Drama ✅
If you’re looking for a mind-bending mystery and psychological manga with a romance subplot, please stay far away from this. I would say this manga is perfect for those who like to fantasize about romance and stay in their dreamy land. Don’t waste time thinking too deeply because there’s really nothing deep in this manga.
Why did I cross out the mystery? Because it’s an insult to the mystery genre. While it is mysterious in the first couple of chapters, it never really develops beyond the surface level. The author is actively trying to downplay the mystery in pursuit of greater romance
...
through drama.
Also, if psychological means MCs breaking down and being emo every single chapter, then it probably is.
What this manga truly focuses on is romance, like 90% of the manga. It is just a typical shojo manga if you minus the crime.
The characters left a lot to be desired. All of them are very shallow and only ML gets a tiny bit of progression. FL is the naive type while ML is the badass type like never seen before. The cops are beyond redeemable and one of them is even conflicted about whether he should follow the law. Why are you even a cop again?
The theme of the manga is righteousness and it is very problematic. It explores vigilantism but also forgiveness which is a pure contradiction. If you take things into your own hands while breaking the law in the name of righteousness, you’re not exempted from the law. Simple as that and that’s how modern society works. Wanting to be a hero but doesn’t want to take responsibility for the consequences is not a positive message for the readers and it will only promote more violence. You’ll get what I mean after reading this manga.
Overall, just don't expect too much and treat it like a pure romance manga with flawed unlikeable characters.
