Side notes: If really one wishes to read something decent I might say that go and read the novel version. The manga is still starting point and it may take time it to catch up the novel version. The art is on decent level and clean so there is no big problems... but I'm a bit bored due of the main couple, there is no real tension between them yet. They are okay but I'd like to see some spice too so I need to wait a bit to see if the combo works (smart but phlegmatic male lead and spicy and energetic female lead).
