I don't like the direction personally, but the premise was exciting! I would like to prefer a lips romance over zombie mutants with lips romance subplot.

This is pretty fluff and lewd so far, then there is some plot building up which I don't think is a bad addition for a slice of life manga. I just hope that tags don't lie.

This manga makes me feel like a heathen when I look at lips, what the fuck

 

[Brooshie]

Lmao this would never happen in the U.S. because people think wearing a mask takes away their rights.

 

[brostopcrying]

Huh, this looks familiar. I wonder where I've seen it

 

[conquergl]

Clickbait

@Brooshie to be fair this is supposed to be a dystopian future but yeah the current anti mask sentiment is stupid.

[rainwater]

[TheCuriousBean]

Showing mouth before marriage!! Thats lewd af

I'm going to guess the endings going to be either one of them catches the infection or the world finds a cure for the infection.

Interesting premise, and the art is really pretty, but I can't help but get hung up on the inconsistencies with the world-building and common sense. The author wants to make it be set in the near future with semi-current tech, yet has to make it be at least 16 years since the pandemic, then assumes everyone would naturally accept wearing masks in 15 years, and that maskless faces would suddenly become taboo. Either reinforce the fact that the pandemic was/is horrible and that everyone needs to wear masks, or explain why people need to wear masks, yet completely ineffective veils are also ok. Everyone seems so nonchalant about everything except wearing masks.

Also, hello? Movies still exist, and unless some 1984-type censorship occurred, I see no reason why it would be taboo to watch old movies from ~20 years before their time. Most of the "classics" in cinema are easily over 20 years old. Or even pre-pandemic porn for that matter, considering they're already getting horny for someone with a veil on.

Regardless, I'm just nitpicking. I think this would've been an awesome oneshot, but as a series, I can't help but wonder how it'll do as the pandemic slowly comes to a manageable state (which will hopefully be sooner, rather than later).
