Honey Bee & Lemon Balm, Vol. 1 by Jil Hashikura

Honey Bee & Lemon Balm, Vol. 1 by Jil Hashikura
My Rating: ★★★★

I received a copy from Kodansha Comics through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Fresh out of prison, Kaoru Mitsuya just discovered that not only have the people he once ran with abandoned him, but he also has nowhere to go! Running into the gentle and kind Yuichiro Shirouzu turns out to be life changing, and not just for Kaoru! It turns out that helping each other is just what they both need. Will this adorable and unlikely duo confess their feelings for each other, and will any secrets come between them?!

This manga had me at florist shop romance! We follow Kaoru and Yuichiro as they slowly fall in love in this funny and adorable story. The artwork is stunning, the story is cute and funny, and I really enjoyed following the leads and one of the supporting characters. However, I was surprised at how abruptly this volume ended. I was happily reading when it suddenly ended without warning, which was a strange way to go about things! Otherwise, I really enjoyed reading this and am excited to check out the next volume in what appears to be a trilogy.
