Eh... it looks pretty cute, but kinda very cliche in premise from the synopsis (looks like something that would be adapted in a typical cheesy romance TV Drama down the line).

Good old "girl meets proactive boy who barges into her life one day because of X, and they start getting closer" shoujo manga trope.

But this author usually have some nice twists to tired formulas, as evidenced by Furuba, I'll wait and see if this has anything more imaginative going forward.

I was reminded of Twinkle Stars with how boyish the female protagonist looks.

Well, for one thing, there’s absolutely nothing in the synopsis (or the series so far) that indicates Sui is a girl.

It's such a waste Liselotte never got a proper ending! I loved the fairy tale world it was set in.

Yeah, that's something I was curious about because just from the art I got a BL vibe.
