I love the whole premise of this manga - a middle-aged woman ends up in a fantasy world, creates a book cafe, and falls in love with a soldier. I mean, it's truly a unique storyline, and the artwork is beautiful.

However, with that being said, in this volume, everything happens so fast, and the ending gets wrapped up with a romance that, while the flirting is there, isn't really a romance, if that makes sense. They act like an old married couple with no feelings for each other besides their mutual love of books. Don't get me wrong, and I still love this volume; I just wanted so much more! This could have been fleshed out and made into three volumes. Also, this was a novel created into a manga, so I am curious as to how much is missing from the manga.
