It wasn’t bad, but it does feel like there were some missing elements or unexplored areas here and there. For example, what was with the suit shop grandma refusing to be called “grandma”? I thought it was just a quirk of her character, but then there’s two additional dialogues a little after that scene where a character tries to figure out their relationship dynamic and he’s constantly interrupted before he can say “grandma” or “grandson” almost as if it’s a supposed or be a secret or something? I wouldn’t usually make a big deal of something like that, but the comic kept weirdly focusing on it, so it was kind of hard to ignore, lol. I also wish that we had gotten more of a peek into their future going forward. If their issues had been resolved a little sooner or we had gotten more chapters, we could have seen them try to survive as “rival lovers”. The concept of two people being in love but also owning two competing business directly across from each other is a good one, and it’s just not explored here as much as it could have been. How would that work? Would it be stressful? Will they ever live together? What happens if one business fails? So much could be explored. Also how would their workmates and families react? I’m sure they’re would have been some interesting opinions there. Some more development could have happened with the side chaotacters as well. Takeru went from being a bully and not liking blondie at all to just-growing up and owning a restaurant and being his buddy. Um…ok. Jun was also one of the bullies but he just grows up to work in blondie’s kimono shop. Also cool, but how did these developments happen? How did they get to these levels? Would have been interesting to know that? Also Karin- Chan from the suit shop, is she just an employee or also part of the family? Again, a lot of focus on their angst and not enough on the rest of this world’s dynamics. And the two MCs honestly don’t have strong enough personalities to distract you from that fact. So yeah, not bad, not great. Had potential.
