*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
The one time Chinatsu hesitated with a target, it cost his older brother his life and left a witness, a blind boy named Kasumi. Years later, Chinatsu meets Kasumi again.
This is a cozy read. Chinatsu’s profession as a hitman isn’t at the forefront, so the violence is heavily implied, not explicit. The art is dreamy and soft when it needs to be and just dark enough when there’s tension or darker stuff happening in the story. Everything is very effective in making you care about the couple and want to see them happy. Heck, even Kasumi’s family is supportive. A lot of these stories would either lean into the violence or make the disabled person miserable because their family is awful, but nope. Not this time. If you’re looking for something quick to read without much smut (it’s off “screen” so to speak), this is just a nice read. 4 out of 5.
