I read the novel long before the manga came out and you can only imagine how excited I was for it. However, I have to say that the manga rly doesn't do the novel justice, be it the general ambiance or the portrayal of the characters, including both the MC and ML. If you're looking for a more serious/mature, soft-spoken but firm portrayal of the MC, weathered and sharpened by her experiences as well as a ML with more depth (which some people in the comments seem to be dissatisfied with), I'd recommend going to the novel (complete). I really, really wanted to like the manga but as much as I tried to like it, idk if its the art style (example: big, anime-fied eyes, typical shoujo MC appearance) or expressions but I couldn't help being put off. Maybe it's kinda like how the book is always better than the movie? I'm not trying to diss the manga or offend anyone, but just some food for thought and a wholehearted recommendation to read the novel :) (=・ω・=)
