[UPDATE and Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler : i hate that I wrote this fucking summary. I'm so tempted to delete it, but people need my summary to know what the story is about. I'm just so frustrated about the ending and the FL honestly upsets me because she FELL IN LOVE WITH HER BOYFRIENDS DAD. I am so upset. I would have deleted this comments and burned this story out of my memory if people didn't need it as a summary. I'm going to actively pretend that I have never heard nor read this story, goodbye]

Read on webtoon.

Never thought I would get hooked on this before I started. A strong and smart female lead. Amazing character growth, interesting characters, beautiful art, interesting setting (can I also make a small note on how HOT the guys are? I have a weakness for long haired guys. Especially Sun, he is so attractive) and I enjoy the subtle romance that's growing underneath the main storyline; it's like the cherry on top.

I can't believe I actually managed to finish this story. Firstly, it dragged on for way too long. Secondly, 'till this moment I still can't understand how keeping Ichina's father a secret was the best choice while her father was wasting away in a literal coma. And thirdly, the mess that was Ichina and Sekitani's relationship had me considering seppuku on multiple occasions. Those two couldn't make up their minds (and let me not even get started on Sekitani. Guy made me sick to my stomach. Everyone was like ''he's so nice'' but I've never wanted to punch someone in the mouth harder than this guy). He was the most flaky-ass, inconsequential-ass, piece of shit character in this whole manga. At some point I couldn't bear reading anything about him anymore and just scrolled through the pages that had him (and believe me, there were a lot). And the amount of times Ichina was assaulted and almost raped, just for it to get swept under the rug, is too damn high! I only finished this shit on principle.

This has potential to be a really fun and cute story. I'll be on the look-out for new chapters, even though it says it's a one-shot. I'm hoping it will get serialized.
