Customer Reviews

The 1st time I truly felt the comfort in a comfort read.

Mayumi's life is turned upside down when the two people closest to her betrayed her, she felt the only option was to run away from her busy life in Tokyo to a slower, quieter life in the countryside. A chance meeting with her (then unknown) landlord Rin, that's when her "slow," county life really took off. This is definitely a slowburn romance that is sadly only 3 volumes. The two main characters lives aren't the only lives explored, which I find refreshing for girl's love (yuri) manga. I really like how side characters develop alongside the main duo, even the background characters, they are all interesting folks that I'd like to learn more about. And there's even a child character, Hinata, Rin's niece that she now takes care of, throw in the mix, making things all the more interesting. I'm not partial to kids, and while children in stories can be valuable for the story telling aspect, I find myself really fond of Hinata, she's sweet and spunky, she's just adorable! And a really valued part of the story, not just a cute story-telling tool. The art is soft and bubbly, giving the book a relaxed tone. I've never felt comfort from a book, like how people say they do, I've felt joy with the characters, anger, sadness, but I've never felt like a book give me a hug, until I read Days of Love at Seagull Villa. This is truly a comfort read. I am highly looking forward to the next two volumes, and I already know I'm going to be sad at the end of volume three, wishing that there was more.
