A Heart's Invitation: Part 1 (Adult Manga 18+)
Stay tuned for Love and Fear - A Heart's Invitation. This captivating romance series consists of three chapters.
Chapter ONE
Kyouko, 26, is a daycare worker who quietly watches as her friends and colleagues find love and settle down, while she remains alone with no sign of romance in sight. Each day, she takes care of children, and every night she wonders if love will ever come her way.
One day, on a whim, Kyouko decides to attend a mixer after being invited by a colleague. There, she meets Yuusuke, a self-proclaimed unmotivated government employee. When Kyouko drinks a little too much, Yuusuke steps in to take care of her, making her think he's a kind and considerate person. But just as Kyouko starts to feel safe around him, Yuusuke's attitude suddenly changes, revealing a side of him that catches Kyouko completely off guard.
As Kyouko's body relaxes and she begins to open up to this man she just met, she can't help but wonder if she's making a mistake. Part of her wants to let go of her fears, but another part is terrified that he might take advantage of her.
Caught between the desire to be loved and the fear of getting hurt, Kyouko and Yuusuke must navigate the complicated waters of their emotions. Will love be strong enough to break down the walls between them and bring them together?
Thank you, dear readers, for your support and for following along.

Something seems off
A lot of the love between the two main characters seems repetitive. There is a lot of confusion in the beginning with parts of story repeated with different words? Or story not adding up in the conclusion. It says manga story was scrapped after chapter 3, but it continued? Idk, it's kind of a mess to read on kindle. The love story was crazy rushed. He's forceful, shes fine with it, and suddenly she's saying I love you? He's guarded but then spills everything to her right away and becomes possessive of her? The gay guy is conflicted and wants to kiss her, but then he's totally over it? I feel like I am missing a large part of the story.

Ok.....this is NOT what I thought it was. This was a TBR jar pick and it was very...yeah, NOT what I was expecting. But I finished it, it was easy to read? Look at? Kind of...? This was a manga so it is read from right to left and once you get the hang of it then it goes pretty quick. I felt like, for a graphic novel, there was a LOT of extra...exclamations in there. That's all I will say. I will not be reading the next one.

Really enjoyed this one I hope that in the second one that she is more open in her relationship and not so closed off. that's the only thing that bothered me in this one. other than that four star really enjoyed
