Just caught up with all the volumes out for this manga 😭💗 it was such a cozy read. Prepare for a long review lmao:
I love the friendships and bonds that Shirayuki builds throughout the series ~ it’s so wholesome.
One aspect I loved the most is the positive outlook on change. No matter how much things change for the characters, their response is always comforting.
I love how back in volume 21 , Mitsubishi described the change he was experiencing as smth that makes him happy but also melancholic. THAT’S SO REAL.
Plus, despite the fact that Shirayuki and Zen are on their own journeys & have a long-distance relationship, it never breaks or changes their love for each other — and that’s just aghh so beautiful ☹️💗
It applies to the friendships too! even when they don’t see each other for months or years, they still hold on to what they learned from one another. It’s so sweet and really hit close to home. I rlly found comfort from this story 💗
This volume was also SO sweet. Love how we see them all back together again catching up. Plus, I think I’m rlly growing to love Hisame and Kiki’s dynamic :)
And ahhhh Shirayuki and Zen are so cute 😩✨ and Ryu growing up and finding his own path is so bittersweet 🥹
The story definitely has flaws, it can be too slow, and some arcs aren’t as intriguing as others ~ but I can’t rate it any lower because this story is so nostalgic to me hehe.
