The art is amazing and the characters lovely, BUT this story definitely has a bad flaw in writing for me personally.
I didn't care much for the elongated part of them setting up the new shop and 'working'. Simply because we didn't actually SEE anything of interest regarding the job, which is literally the interesting part of this story setup!, we basically were just told the technicalities about management aspects. Which I for one do really NOT care for. It's boring, uninteresting and makes me want to start to flip pages until they stop talking about it. It would have been so much more interesting seeing them transform the shop, accomplish finding new customers and Ubuki blooming in his work and being enthusiastic and whatnot. THAT is what the setup suggested would happen, but instead it focused on management talk and romance progress in a mild way. Just hearing about the management on paper, basically, was really boring. If you work with a setting, then it's best to actually actively use it. Especially if the story setup is: I can't get customers for my tailor shop. Why literally skip ALL of the 'finally getting customers' aspect, which is a huge accomplishment and basically treat it like irrelevant background happenings, like a TV channel talking about the weather while characters are talking? That just didn't sit well with me and it made the story boring despite both characters being interesting, their dynamic being lovely and them both having a passionate side that brought them together. I would have preferred actually SEEING their accomplishments instead of having them mentioned as a sidenote here and there. It's especially strange the author chose to write like this given in the end (Theo's background story) the author shows they CAN very well write in detail about the surroundings of the character. I would have loved seeing that for the tailor shop aspect as well, given it's the title of the comic. That's what I came here for after all. ╥﹏╥
Don't get me wrong, it IS a good story, just not likable in terms of just hearing technicalities instead of seeing them accomplish things or actually working. Anyone going into this hoping to see a person flourish in their job and show passion will likely not be pleased with how the story goes. Maybe even find the title misleading since it suggests it's about the tailor shop and hence the work there, whereas it's really just mainly about them talking about management. I for one don't care for stuff like that, so I'm honestly disappointed. People who don't care or like technical talking only but no job being shown will surely like it I guess tho. So it's a case by case thing, depending on personal preference.
With that all in mind, check it out and see if you like it.
