Honeymoon Salad · review
tl;dr: A manga about relationships that despite being serious doesn't really have much development, but is still casually enjoyable. This manga has an interesting concept for a love triangle in theory, but the characters and their stories didn't mesh as well as they needed to for it to work well in execution. The chemistry felt off and the arc of each individual character felt somewhat shallow. It starts off moving at reasonable pace, though feeling quite dreary while doing so, but then transitions to a much slower pace where it feels more relaxed in a melancholy sort of way. That's not a bad thing though, because it doesthe relaxed aspect pretty well and that's enough to keep the reader wanting more. The problem is that that carries through the ending. During this entire phase, the relationship between the three really isn't clear. There are times that it feels like progress is being made, but it is never committed to. This isn't particularly a problem except for the end, where it sort of hinted at the way things were were how they would stay, but at the same time they don't actually show this, so from an emotional point of view it ended in a kind of fuzzy way where the relationship still feels unclear in an unsatisfying way, when what it needed due to the rest of the manga leaving it unclear was a really definitive and impactful ending, so the final feeling it leaves is a bit hollow. The art is decent, where I like the framing but not really the style.
