Monologue Woven For You Vol. 1 by Syu Yasaka
4.0
4.5
I love how casual the author keeps most of the things. Love confession? Pff, easy. First kiss? No big deal. First time sleeping together? Nothing.
I mean, the characters do get nervous still and blush a lot, and it's also not completely meaningless, but definitely toned down a lot, compared to pretty much every other romance story. It just shows how comfortable the characters are together and that's what you want to have in a romantic/sexual relationship, no?
I also love how supportive everyone is. Not just with their relationship, but also with the dreams that each character has. It's extremely common in such stories for characters to always be jealous and envious, but not here. It's so healthy and refreshing.
Also, it's incredible, how every page, every panel is in color! Mangas are already difficult enough and take so much time in b&w already, but even more so colored... gets me every time. 5 stars for the art.
I'm not much a fan of the secret they're both keeping, as I always prefer honest relationships, which is why it gets half a star less. However, the secret isn't harming them, so I'm fine with it for now. Hopefully they do get to talk about it soon though.
