What an absolutely incredible journey this was. I came in expecting a story about BDSM (which I got), but what I didn't expect was to be enraptured by the world, the characters and the lore. I feel like I've been on a journey with One and Shell, and I'm sad it's over. I cried, I laughed, I smiled. I recommend this story to everyone!
You'll find you come to care not only for the main characters, but also for the storybook characters in the stories Sehara narrates. The development of the main relationship is slow, but sure and feels as natural and effortless as a river's flow.
A manga with some of the healthiest relationships I've seen. Proper communication, intelligent characters (who can pick up on cues), and no unnecessary jealousy drama. Just such an overall warm and loving manga.
