The synopsis is terrible. First off yes. love in summer, except most of it happens not in summer, oh and it isn't unexpected. Story: So, the story is about a boy who has a crush and stalks her then learns boxing. She's a tsundere, hes not a "real" man, because he is a nerd. But he's brave, so potential. Other than that it is your typical sports manhwa, but the approach to some of the elements is unique, and as such it is refreshing. Art: The art style is.... unorthodox? to put it politely. There are a few frames where their expressions are not aesthetically pleasing, but as far as communicating emotion, and generally being good, they pass with just above average. Characters: The main characters are quite well written likeable, believable characters. The extras are... one dimensional, but since you only see them in the same circumstances its okay. Its like seeing a bowl only when its used for rice, and assuming it is a rice bowl. Overall: Read this if you want a gentle blend of sports shounen and sappy romance, with a slight sprinkling of drama. 8/10 Will read again in a few years.

I very much enjoyed this manhwa which is about a timid nerdy guy in love with a girl named Jane who is into boxing and is known to be a strong female lead, mind you. She’s arrogant but at least she’s not over the top arrogant (like her coach) and she’s pretty straightforward if she sees her man hiding something from her lol. The action scenes though were really lit I gotta say even if the art looks to be dated back to early 2000s. I also liked the fact that it gives you that mixture of Megalobox and Rocky feel to it because again, the boxing scenes were stunning in my personal opinion. Now I will admit, I wasnt keen with the love triangle fight in this but at least it fizzled out quicker than expected. To add, I even liked the Yoonsoo and Yuri characters like they should’ve had more scene time in my personal opinion. I’m really surprised this manhwa didn’t get enough attention like it is underrated and pretty entertaining if you like your sports with romance manhwa !
