Weapons engineer x thoracic surgeon meet cute at a teahouse. An ordinary slice of life story but it gave me extraordinary feelings. The characters are so chill and laidback and the way they just match each other so well is just *chef's kiss*. The writing itself is atmospheric you can just feel the tenderness seep out of the story, subtle and yet you can't help but feel warm and cozy all over.
This author managed to conjure a slow burn romance within just 33 chapters, which is nothing short of a miracle. I can't recommend this enough if you're into drama-free, slice-of-life types of stories where the ordinary is presented as something beautiful.
Ah, the author and translator have done it again... so good!
The unique sense of closeness through the most quotidian things that this author brings to their characters is hard to obtain elsewhere. You can submerge yourself in the tender atmosphere as they discover their feelings and themselves.
It is a mature read; a down to earth, realistic, love of two adults who are passionate about life. Poetic and philosophical, yet cute and balanced. I thank the author and translator!
