REVIEW, but without spoilers (interestingly enough). The writing is a bit too rushed and feels almost random in how things develope even early on (them bonking for the first time happened without any sorta build up tbh). It's not an impressive story but not entirely boring either. So I do not have much to say there, it was just a bit bland for me personally. The art itself is alright but even there I have to say the expressions always feel....inaccurate or too weak, like they are not drawn as they should be to make the emotions that are supposedly there clear. A smirk is barely a _ line that's VERY minimally drawn upward at the edges, making it less of a smirk and more of a neutral expression that ranges more towards the positive. That makes it akward in many panels if the rest of the face is supposed to show an emotion but it doesn't play together to create an actual uniform expression for whatever emotion is supposed to be portrayed. And sadly this goes on through the entire comic (for all sorts of facial expressions, mind you, there was barely a panel I noticed with a well drawn expression all over). It's not a bad story, but not good either. The art isn't good enough to give it more points either, if anything it would give it point reduction tbh. So all in all I find it below okay and wouldn't really bother reading it again or recommending it. It's probably a good enough read when you're bored or are new and don't have much knowledge of storytelling and expression-based art, but that's about it for me, for more experienced readers I'd say give it a go but be warned that you'll not exactly find anything good both in writing and the art itself.
