Lip Smoke is a interesting manga, it includes a love developing story between a second year high school girl and a middle aged (32 year old) erotic novelist. They first meet as she delivers some documents due to her part job being working for the publishing company that he works for, well writes for . Its 4 chapters long and its fast paced, in those 4 chapters they cover 8 months or even more in which the girl Iwato Setuna falls for Seta Kazuki more and more , but he rejects her feelings due to the age gap and due to his social status and so on . I wont spoil the ending because you should read it if you want to know it , but I will state my mind. There is no character development it all stays the same except their feelings, nothing really changes other than a tiny bit romance that gets involved. There are a few events that make it a bit suspensive but well I guess its a romance manga after all. Other than that I think Iwato was drawn pretty good and she had a bit of a changed personality after finally getting it into her head that she is in love with Kazuki . All in all its a manga worth reading but its nothing that would be amazing yet it is worth enough to keep your attention for a short time.
