Edit: The epilogues, I've forgotten how heartbreaking they were. Excited for season 2 though!
As they say second time's the charm and this certainly applies to A Stepmother's Marchen.
When I first read it I was quite confused but reading it again has made me realise how realistic it is in terms of the depiction of the family. I love how the author portrayed the kids as you guess it kids - messy, annoying and tedious. Now that I've read it, I have noticed that a common theme amongst fictional families is that they are all coldhearted and have no sort of spark in them at all.
You cannot read this without commenting on the art. In all honesty, this series makes it into my top 3 favourite manhwa art styles alongside Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess and the later seasons of Doctor Elise. None of the panels are wasted on filler and the use of humour is well executed. The clothing is phenomenal and very accurate to it's time period of 1800s Germany that I appreciate being a clothing aficionado. Shading and colouring is well done too.
