I have to agree aswell, and the romance is so quick that idk what to feel about it. I just hope Zoe can exceed her mental age and grow up. I think she just need to let the past go when her mom died so her mental age won't remain as a 9 year. That was the age she was when her mom died and she her mind is still stuck on what transpired. If she overcomes it her branch might get flowered.
Also I just don't like the romance at all, idk what up with Shonen putting jncessarry romance down our throats. It would've been better if the author made it to be Lucas wanting Zoe to grow and not be swallowed by her delusions from when she was nine year old.
I enjoy this plot quite a bit. It’s unique and special the art is beautiful and expressive and the characters are perfectly flawed and real. The only qualm I have is the fact that the main character is falling for a 9 year old girl? I understand that her body does not match her mind but in my eyes I feel that is no excuse.
