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...

Hello Fellow Readers,
It took absolutely no time at all for me to read this, the story is fast-paced and interesting. The characters are also very engaging, and I kept rooting for them. I do like the two leads, Freya and Neneo and I can't wait to see how their relationship develops with the twists and turns that are bound to come with this story. I also really liked Halvard's character and hope he stays a central character in the story. The romance does seem rushed, I felt like I blinked and suddenly the characters were utterly devoted to each other (a bit like Insta-love). The romance would benefit more if it slowed down and allowed the smaller details to shine through.
Overall, an interesting start that can benefit from slowing down.
