TLDR: A blind woman and a police officer have a chance encounter which a sweet friendship blooms from. Full of beautiful art. 4 stars
A blind woman bumps into a man. They get to know each other, and he offers her a job. They are now coworkers. Their relationship deepens, but they still keep a respectful distance.
These two are so sweet. They really have THE relationship with each other. They tease and comfort, push each other up, and protect each other. I really enjoyed reading about these two. Here in volume 2 we have different characters that I suspect will show up in later volumes. Relationship is hard to pinpoint, and might be a "rival" character. We will see how it pans out, if they even return again.
Story for volume 2 seems to have a centric and unexpected theme ... waking up and going to sleep? I found this surprisingly sweet and domestic. Something about more domestic themes hit my heart so nicely. So if you wish to read about characters waking up and falling asleep, this is the one.
The art in this manga is BANGER. I really loved it. In between chapters you get these beautiful prints of him and her. Separate, and together. Absolutely stunning. I might in part have picked this up because I admire the artist's work.
Audience is hard to pinpoint. It fits for any age from middle school and up. Exactly what kind of person, I am not sure. It fit for me because of the art, it might for you too. Maybe it is an "everyone should read this" kind of thing.
I am giving this 4 stars. Stunning art, sweet panels, and I know there is more to come. Still hold the opinion that if any of the other volumes get translated I will be reading them too. No questions asked. Can't wait! Highly recommend.
