OMG! My heart T-T I heard about this from it being released on Netflix. The art is pretty and the storyline good so far. The vibes it gives me is Cinderella mash with Full Metal Alchemist. Just so much sadness so far, but I can't bawl at work right now. I am looking forward to how the anime will spin it.

As a fan of the Netflix adaptation, I was surprised to find the manga available through my library. Having watched the anime version twice now, the storyline and artwork seems to track very closely with the original material.

There's a pretty sizeable amount of emotional angst at play here. Miyo, the FMC, has deeply internalized the negative attitudes of her stepmother and half-sister. It's a Cinderella re-imagining so in the beginning there are flashbacks to Miyo working as a servant in her own household and the emotional and physical abuse she faces. By the time she arrives at the home of Lord Kudo, the MMC, her self-worth is absolutely non-existent. She's in a constant state of self-doubt, used to trying to please everyone (albeit unsuccessfully in her old home), and is a bit of a shell of a person. . I never quite understood the characterization of Lord Kudo as a needlessly cruel or demanding man - even if he did have a string of broken engagements. The second scene where the MCs are on page together is pretty awkward, with Kudo assuming Miyo is out to poison him with her cooking (lol whut!?). This is a true slow burn romantic thread, so Volume 1 focuses on establishing a background for the characters individually and then gradually moving into building an emotional connection between them.

Dare I say it's fluffy angst? I'm in the mood to devour this series.

On the one hand, big age gap and hints of "she's not like other girls" 🤢
On the other hand, he's like the LEAST toxic person in her life and they're cute enough that I'm willing to keep reading if I can easily find more volumes?? So there's that.

I watched the anime with my sister, and reading the manga was the obvious next step.

I love that we get some of Kudo’s perspective in the manga. We’re mostly just in Miyo’s head in the show, so getting his thoughts about their early days is really cool.
