Thank you to NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for the ARC. My opinions are my own. 
NOTE: Elements from this review are also used in the review for volume 2.

TLDR: A blind woman and a police officer have a chance encounter which a sweet friendship blooms from. Full of beautiful art. 4 stars

A blind woman bumps into a man. They get to know each other, and he offers her a job. They are now coworkers. Their relationship deepens, but they still keep a respectful distance. 

These two are so sweet. They really have THE relationship with each other. They tease and comfort, push each other up, and protect each other. I really enjoyed reading about these two. There are basically no other characters here, so they get all the pages for themselves. 

Story is ... not here? I would say this manga contains mostly snippets only. Daily life scenarios. Nothing wrong with that. Just don't expect a super fleshed out story. 

The art in this manga is BANGER. I really loved it. In between chapters you get these beautiful prints of him and her. Separate, and together. Absolutely stunning. I might in part have picked this up because I admire the artist's work.

Audience is hard to pinpoint. It fits for any age from middle school and up. Exactly what kind of person, I am not sure. It fit for me because of the art, it might for you too. Maybe it is an "everyone should read this" kind of thing. 

I am giving this 4 stars. Stunning art, sweet panels, and I know there is more to come. Definitely reading any other volume the author puts out. No questions asked. Highly recommend.
