Summary:
Risa Amakawa is a prepper. She’s prepared for her tests, the rain, and pretty much any situation that may come along. Sure, her bag is frequently too heavy because of that, but it works for her.
One day, Risa witnessed a young man get hurt and left behind on the street. She could have kept walking, but it was raining, and he needed help. So she offered him her spare umbrella and directions to the nearest hospital. Little did she know this act of kindness would change her life forever.
Review:
Oh wow! Love, That's an Understatement Vol. 1 is such a shockingly sweet story, but not for the reasons you might expect. The story is all about two characters trying to take care of one another and make things right. It's cute, quirky, and sweet.
This series has a strong foundation in the romcom genre. We have a girl stepping up to take care of an injured guy, only to realize she now can't get rid of him. Now she's embroiled in his drama, but he's committed to caring for her.
There's more to it than that, but those are the broad strokes. I liked the character development, but I do feel like there could have been more. Likewise, while I enjoyed the plot, I feel like I probably read enough to appreciate it fully, so I'm not sure if I'd continue the series.
If you're looking for an opposites attract romance, be sure to check out Love, That's an Understatement Vol. 1.
