Silvana Reyes is a Mexican book blogger. She enjoys all types of sub-genres, but loves a good love story. Romance fiction is her heart and joy and you might find her screaming about book releases on her Twitter account.
Muku Shiroshika’s happy and carefree childhood ended abruptly after her father’s tragic death. In the ten years since, she’s worked as a thankless caregiver for her dementia-suffering grandfather. Between taking care of her family, searching for a job, and enduring her grandmother’s constant criticism, Muku finds herself drowning. She’s desperate to escape, but with nowhere to go, Muku loses hope—that is, until her childhood friend Yuto appears on her doorstep one snowy day and inspires her to live for herself.

As you probably know, every month, the publishing world releases a good quantity of manga. Sometimes, the manga coming out are sequels of well-loved series, spin-offs, one-volume manga, or debuts.
