Kasane… (And the power of lipstick)

(As I write this I’m 14 Volumes in and have decided to start writing now as I don’t want to accidentally write spoilers without noticing, though before posting I will fix anything out of place so please consider this a complete review)

Kasane (the character) is a complicated character with much too her, I’m not going to dive into specifics and if that’s what you're looking for your robbing yourself from the experience of this Manga. When we first see her she is young but we watch her grow up through a few faces, she is not a static character but one who learns and grows with us. Where some of her actions may feel malicious I never wanted her to lose.

The story is based on a folk tale and was actually popular enough to spawn a live-action movie (though I’ve not watched it yet and still suggest reading this first, there's actually a short review from the writer in the books which is really sweet). The story contains so many different aspects from multiple characters and their lives to dealing with different emotions which honestly remain realistic outside their setting, the growth and way new characters are introduced feels natural and honestly the author has really hit the ball out of the park especially considering this is their first serialisation.

The art is fantastic and really suits the story, and the text is well maintained since I’ve seen sometimes translation can place text in bad spots making it hard to read.

(Final Thoughts)
Just finished reading the book. I feel like this book hits every beat, I never felt bored or suffocated by the contents. I know that stories are about the journey, not the ending but ever since I started I couldn’t stop wondering how could this end? How can I be satisfied with the only endings I can conceive? Good thing I’m not a writer and good thing I’m contempt with our author's decisions. I haven't changed my mind that this book is worth your time so please do read and support it.
