Found this manga yesterday. So glad I found it.
Ooooh, from the author of House of the Sun!
Looks pretty great too, and the way the two main character are drawn is pretty nice. I quite like the contrast with her older sister.
Also, her laugh is hilarious.
Okay - House of the Sun is already really good, and I’m only on chapter 3…
ETA - just worked out that this is Taiyou no Ie. I thought it was weird that it was not only this good but award-winning, but I couldn’t remember ever hearing of it.
I just never heard of it under that localized title.
I swear: reading both your comments, and this specific one edits has been very entertaining as soon as I woke up. I kept on giggling. 😂
I’m not familiar with House of the Sun, so I’ll have to check that out.
But yeah - the artstyle was what first drew me in, and her laugh was a lot of what sold me. That and those once-per-chapter glorious real smiles.
