The Fluttering Heel

Overall: I liked this short rom-com. I personally enjoy a (literally) stong female lead, especially one who also enjoys romance, because I find it relatable. Although I'm not sure why she liked the ML, we don't get a lot of information or focus on him, plus everyone has their own type & we don't control who we happen to like! (I say this because I saw a variety of comments saying they didn't like the story because she didn't choose the 2nd ML) Story: Again, I liked the story. With only six chapters, I felt like I was provided a good paced and interesting story. I liked the humorous parts, and the female lead. The story follows as the summary says, focusing on how Sawa doesn't want her crush, Kazushi Okutake, to find out she's a wrestler because she thinks it's not "romantic" (of course, she uses manga as a reference haha). Art: The art was appealing, in my opinion. I would've liked for Sawa to be more toned though. I mean she's a wrestler (who often wins), why are her arms sticks? At one point she's pointed out to have toned legs, but she's shown doing bicep curls/push-ups/etc. which would also mean she should've had toned arms too (at least). Characters: It is a short story, so I didn't expect to get a lot of information on the characters - which is what happened. Most of the focus is on Sawa, as she is the main character, so you do get to know her. That being said, you still get enough information on the male leads to get an idea of their personality. Kazushi seems to be the socially-unaware smart 1st lead while Ando was the accepting-friend 2nd lead.

Lovely premise, but the exicution was a miss.  Secnd male lead sindrome is caught by any veiwers.  The ML is a bland, unseasoned chiken breast, and the SML and MC are the only 2 characters with any personallity.  Everything was crammed into only 6 chapters to boot.
