The manga about a dangerous love between killer and heiress that went viral in Japan! A condemned criminal and a wounded, wealthy daughter are lost somewhere between an unchangeable past and an uncertain future in Snow & Ink, a mysterious human drama that combines the melancholy atmosphere of My Happy Marriage with a historical flavor and a journey full of twists.
Sentenced to death for the crime of sadistically killing his entire village, Neneo is all but ready to accept his unfortunate fate when he is mysteriously bought and saved by the wealthy heiress Freya. Emotionless and numb to the world, Freya is also an outcast, hiding deep wounds of her own. Unfazed by the tales of Neneo's crimes, she enlists him to accompany her in her exile to the far north. As this unlikely pair, both shunned by a cold world, venture together into the deep snow, they begin to find warmth in each other. But the past won't let itself be so easily forgotten.
As much as I liked this book I wished there was more to it. But to be fair it in the start so this in itself was a good way to introduce the main characters. I did like getting to know them and their backstories on why they way they were the way they were. I kinda feel like the feelings/relationship between the two are rushed but maybe I'll feel better about that in the later books when I get to see them more as a pair. It was hard to see how people were reacting to Freya considering she was a pretty good person dealing with the aftermath of something. That even goes for what's going on Neneo who's whole situation is a misunderstanding and he has to deal with his sentence when it really wasn't his fault. Man I keep wanting to say more about this book but hard to do so without giving much away but from what I've gotten outta this book its and overall pretty good one. Looking forward to seeing what's next for these characters.
