A sweet little josei about a couple with a large age gap, the lady being the older of the two (a dynamic I, personally, am quite fond of).

The plot is simple and rather linear, but is well executed and refreshing for it's lack of typical drama and angst. The characters are realistic, their circumstances and perspectives easy to relate to. The focus is solely on character's inner thoughts and reactions to one another, with very little time spent on fleshing out the setting, character backgrounds and supporting cast (though I don't believe that is entirely a negative).

Est Em's beautiful art tells the story delicately through facial expressions, gestures and symbolism. The backgrounds are minimalistic, but that works well with the story, directing the viewer's attention to what's important.

I may have preferred a little more backstory and character development (particularly for that flashy professor), but overall this was an easy, enjoyable read, definitely worth the time spent on it.
