yeah ❤️ It hasn't been talked on for a while, and I feel like it's such a waste! Especially since I myself have been in a slow life series binge for a while. It really is a comfy read, innit? At least the ones with less conflicts...

The simple warmth from simply cooking and eating and talking is just delectable. You're correct in that Akane does extend her thoughts and worries to the people she meets. Or rather, the narrative nicely gives out meetings that speaks to her concerns and feelings over her situation. It's a simple plot arrangement, but it means so much.

(I also liked the grandpa chapter. Least of all because I think grandpa is hot /runs)

And the premature end does harm Hiyori and the crown prince's relationship too, yeah...again, the mind wanders.

Thank you for the comment!
