Ariest's manga / #Shoujo(23)

Strong female lead, interesting plot, but incredibly boring and weak male love interest. For half of the story he acts like a cruel asshole, and in the second half he acts like a chastised child in need of mother's affection. I find their relationship kind of creepy for that reason. Imo the author did a terrible job setting up a romance between the two and making the male lead someone you can actually root for. I could barely make it through any chapter where the two had romantic interactions bc of how awkward and unbelievable it felt.

Decent plot and beautiful art, but it's pretty slow. Dropped at ch 22.
