a lot of people said the ending felt abrupt, but honestly, i didn't feel that way. granted, i already knew it was going to end at chapter 34, so maybe that influenced my expectations. even so, i thought the story was pretty straightforward for a short manhwa. shorter series usually don't have overly complex plots. instead, they tend to focus on the characters, their relationship, and all the little fluffy moments between them, which is exactly what this one did.

i absolutely adored the art style, and i found both characters incredibly endearing. overall, i really enjoyed it, and if you're looking for a lighthearted, wholesome read, i'd definitely recommend giving it a try.

first off, i want to say that the ending line, using the title to draw the reader in with "to someone out there, you are so lovely," was perfect. it tied everything together beautifully, and i think it's something everyone can relate to. unexpected connections leading to amazing beginnings and fundamentally changing who you are as a person is such a universal experience.

beyond that, i was a bit hesitant going into the story when i learned that one character raised the other before they eventually became romantic interests. that's always something that makes me wary. but in this case, if you approach the story as something fun, lighthearted, and just a giggle, and try not to think too hard about the moral implications of the whole situation, it's fantastic. perfect. i loved it.

i also thought it was really funny that the character from another country, which is never explicitly disclosed but i'm pretty sure is heavily implied, was a bald eagle shifter. i'm pretty sure they were from the united states, and that made me laugh quite a bit.

the plot is, at best, nothing to write home about, but i still really enjoyed it. the art was fantastic, and i'd say this manhwa is very, very lovely. definitely a good read.
