I love that even though they've both reciprocated their feelings for each other, they aren't rushing into sleeping with each other the way that most other manhwas would be having a 4-5 chapter smutfest rn.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but for a story that's trying to depict sensitive topics and dynamics with nuance, it just feels nice to see that the intimacy between them is also presented with the same consideration
Or maybe this is all just a very fancy way to say that I just love casual intimacy and yearning lol
I think I'm too used to only reading the build-up in a romance that leads up to the main characters getting together, and not the parts following it, where we see 2 people actually try to make things work. I stopped reading this a while back after Robin and Gyul became a couple but catching up after that has been quite pleasant.
Of course it might not seem as 'exciting' as when you're anticipating them to finally profess their love, but I think the seemingly mundane parts of it also can be refreshing if you think about how hard they had to fight to get to this point.
I like how deeply in love Robin and Gyul are with each other, how well they communicate, how much they try to understand each other and compromise wherever possible without giving up their individuality.
Damn I thought that I was going to be reading another volume of some normal workplace romance, but instead went through an emotional rollercoaster witnessing Yuto's origins.
I personally had an upbringing quite similar to Yuto and therefore, also struggle with being anything other than no.1 at my work, to the point that I had to have a very hard conversation with myself when I realized even the thought of coming 2nd gave me an anxiety attack. I def cried a little at the part about Yuto reducing his entire worth to his monthly sales. Reminded me of how it takes building a lot of mental strength to let go of a mentality like that. I'm glad to have come across a manga that addresses a topic like this and happy to see Yuto realising at the end that there's more to life and himself than his insecuritues and work performance.











I regret finishing each chapter so fast fml
I try reading slow yet it ends so fast (TToTT)
