This was short but it honestly was pretty good. It did an excellent job of trying to come to terms with that you might not be straight, and the pressures of being in your 30s and not having had typical romantic experiences. I found Jason to be an extremely realistic character, and I could empathize with him strongly. Reading Frank trying to struggle to handle his past regrets and fear about the future was so painfully real. Unfortunately, because this is a one-shot, the story rushes a bit to get to the final conclusion. The novel ends on, what I feel like, a cliffhanger. I guess some of the point is for us not to know and to assume, but come on man. I did really enjoy the art style! I liked it so much, I will be seeking out other works this author has done. Also, this is an extremely minor thing, but this is a Chinese story right? Why do all the characters have English nicknames? Is...is that a thing in China? Is this just a translation choice made by the localization team? I am so confused as to why they are called Frank and Jason when their actual names are Qianfan and Junren. This is nothing against the story, I'm just extremely confused.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
