Set in 18th Century Tibet, this is a nostalgic look back at a simpler time.
This is almost a medication on work and life. The story is very simple, Khang Zhipa, a doctor's apprentice meets his betrothed Moshi Rati. Up until then, he has only been interested in herbs, and after, he still is, but he thinks Rati is cute, and enjoys her company.
The illustrations are gorgeous and it makes me wonder how women and men moved around in such beautiful clothing, without snagging them, or ruining them out in the yak fields.
There is no tension in this story, just the beautiful story of two people falling in love. Along the way we get to learn about the food they eat, and the herbs used for medicine.
A lovely pleasant read.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

An absolutely adorable slice of life comic with insight to Tibetan life!
The scenery in this book was breath taking i loved how very detailed the art is especially with the clothing.
The dialogue is easy to follow and understand, just like your talk with friends and family. The comic gives a warm fuzzy feeling.
Overall it''s a good and easy story to follow.

Lovely illustrations and a cute simple story. The tale of a young man in Tibet learning to be a doctor who returns home to find his 'bride' (betrothed) waiting for him. The young man is only interested in medicine and when she arrives is still mainly interested in medicine but finds her interesting and cute. It's a lovely simple slow tale with little romance but is a nice tale and drawn wonderfully, a nice read.

I want to cry so much because of how wholesome this manga is. I also love how beautifully detailed the art is. It reminds me of Otoyomegatari, with 18th century Tibet as the setting. I am definitely getting the physical copy when I have a chance for it. Looking forward to read more of this title!
Thank you Netgalley for the chance to read this manga.
