The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh

adventurous medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes

3.0

Solid, middle of the road, pleasant enough to read. I had fun, there's not much to say. Mina isn't the sharpest crayon in the box, I wasn't particularly invested in her and Shin, both as a pair and individually, and honestly I liked most of the side characters more. Whether it's Namgi & Kirin, Mask, Dai & Miki or the Goddess of Moon and Memory, they all promised bits of story that would be more interesting to me personally but I can respect sticking to the story the author wants to tell, which does focus on Mina and Shin. Though I would've just just a teeny bit more on Namgi and Kirin. Just a scrap. Most of their stuff seems to have been resolved quickly and off camera or it was teased and then never followed up upon.
I did expect going in that it was gonna be no more than a 3 for me and so it was.
