Anti-Romance is an exploration of what it means to define a relationship that has existed for too long in a liminal space between friends and lovers. Although I really liked the set-up, I wasn't too sure about the execution of how their feelings were finally revealed. Hopefully the second (and final) volume will provide better developments between the two leads.
