Question before I get into this: will there be smut?

Unfortunately no

༼;´༎ ༎༽

Buy the tag was Josei?? Usually, it has some steamy scenes or something

That's why I am asking. I associate Josei with some level of steaminess, but the story doesn't strike me that way ╥﹏╥

Hahaha "josei" is like seinen but for women lmao, just like "shojo" is for girls, josei is the genre for more grown up women who can understand deeper meanings, not necessarily sexual. Seinen is intended for adult males or just grown enough to understand underlying themes. In case you wonder lol

eventho no smut scenes you should read this because the physical touch in here are sweet and lovely!!! the art pretty too
