I could have sworn I'd read this before. Am I just tripping?
same, though i went back and skimmed the first chapter of a face you shouldn't show (what i thought might have been similar bc one of the characters works in a comparable setting) and it was much more different than i remembered, oops. so uh, not that one.
as for this creator, i don't remember much about octave, while brides of iberis had a few scenes that i liked but i think it let me down overall and i kept wishing the art was more proportional. i'll give this one a chance, i guess?
