[Mehsi · Rating 4 out of 5]

I wasn't entirely happy about the ending. Suddenly this girl is interested in the male MC? It feels a bit weird. I am also not sure what I think about the love triangle that is getting bigger and bigger with each page.
Still I did enjoy this volume, it was quite relaxing. <3
