This title sadly did not meet my expectations. The story was very disjointed, so there wasn't any real over arching plot. I didn't care for any of the characters, and found the pacing and dialogue very awkward. Sadly I will not be picking up the next volume.

This manga is about a girl that just wanted a solid profession and ended up in something she actually doesn't appreciate much, but will learn how nice it can be with a woman that is transferred to her unit.

I was reading this because I was expecting to read a mature story about a woman who discovers joy in her job. The only problem is that her lack of interest in the profession was something really contagious. Although I get that the plot is about her lack of interest in her profession in the beginning, I have to admit that I was not convinced that she was finding joy in her work, since most of the scenes were not that interesting either. Maybe I was just in a bad moment, but the art is solid, the manga is beautiful so for some of you this can be more interesting.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this manga in exchange for an honest review!

Sadly I didn't enjoy this at all. The writing is poor and the art was kind of bad too. Close-ups of faces look fine, but anything including bodily anatomy looks very odd. Also the dog made me sad.
As for the writing I have no idea if it's the translation or what, but yes. Not for me

Anything that promises a more mature storyline draws my attention and with a female officer being at the center of the story, I was hopeful! Each chapter focuses on a new dilemma that the MC, Kawai, faces as a new officer out on the job. I think my lack of enthusiasm comes from the episodic approach of the story--there's not really a plot that draws my attention from chapter to chapter. I'm not invested in her character because of this and we don't really get to know Kawai. She's not particularly invested in being a police officer either, until another female officer joins her team. I'm not sure who the targeted audience for this would be, but I could see people who have worked in the field finding it entertaining. Otherwise, it fell flat for me.

I didn’t really know what to expect from this manga. I was surprised by the drawings, not really my style but still nice I think. They are quite original in my opinion. I don’t know what to think of the story. I mean, there isn’t really a story here. We follow Kawai, a young recruit in the police, who wanted to quit but changed her mind after meeting her new Chief. It is a very sequential manga as each chapter contains its own short story. However, one global theme is the difficulty of being a policewoman and the difficulty of just being in the police. I saw the mangaka was formerly a police officer but this is an information I need to check further. If this is true, I might continue the series because I will be sure the representation is real.
I recommend to people who want a fun and relaxing read.
3/5

Story was disjointed and art was underwhelming!

Appreciate though for Netgalley and Kodansha for giving me this manga for free!
