I loved this one!!!!

The art is fun. Tension is building. I liked the character depth in this one and how it is developing. I'm loving both mains and the side characters and definitely looking forward to more in this graphic series!

- she's his chef
- college romance
- they go to the same school
- he's a rich basketball star
- plenty of close proximity!

Steam - none

Alexa, play 'I LUV IT' by Camilla Cabello. Chasing Red, Vol. 1 is a relatably cute romance with an independent aspiring chef as the FMC and a star college basketball player at the MMC. Caleb and Veronica are total opposites, but find common ground when they are both looking to prove others wrong. I loved the chemistry and tension between the pair, and I already want to read the next volume. I think the artwork paired so nicely with the story!

Thank you NetGalley and WEBTOON Unscrolled, for the ARC.

This was a cute story but nothing really sets it apart from most of the other comics on WEBTOON. I'm not a big fan of the artwork personally, but I can see where someone would love it.

This volume collects episodes 1 to 18 of the WEBTOON.

Caleb Lockhart is a star basketball player, the captain of his team and comes from a very wealthy family. Caleb has never really needed or wanted anything he didn't have. Although that changes when his dad gets involved in his collage life.

Veronica Straford is an independent and heard headed culinary student who turns away from attention. Until the night where she lost her apartment and decides to drown her worries in a few shots and a night of dancing at a club.

This is a chance meeting between two opposites, that really changes the course of their lives.

The tension between the two of them is undeniable. This feels like the best of slow burns. They are helping each other in ways they both may not see just yet. They are more than friends but in a zone where they are still discovering them selves and each other.

The art is beautifully done. I cant wait to see the rest of the volumes come out and continue on with this what I hope is being set up to a slow burn romance.

Thank you NetGalley and Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group | WEBTOON Unscrolled for the Digital ARC for review.

*ARC REVIEW* Was this extremely good? No, but it was cute. I'd read the next book. I wasnt disappointed with it. Some of the artwork was funny but there were a few pages where the MMC's body was unnecessarily bigger and not proportionate with his head.

This was a pretty strong volume 1 where I felt really embedded in the storyline. Things happened so fast but I’m glad things are rolling and we can see their cohabitation stage. The ending was very abrupt though. It didn’t necessarily end on a cliff hanger but just sort of in the middle of a plot arc.

Overall, I enjoyed the premise and can’t wait to see how things progress. I also love seeing it in color and getting to see Red blush so deeply.

First, thank you for the arc in exchange for an honest review!!


Aaaahhhhhh!! I love this!!! The art is fantastic and the story so far is great

I love the chemistry between the main two characters and their interactions. They both have different backgrounds and its been fun reading about each of them. She has a very traumatic past that I want to read more about and see her overcome it and he has some growing up to do for sure.

I also like that he was able to find a solution to help her have a place to stay without her feeling like a freeloaders.


Absolutely will keep reading this manga!!!

This is my first time trying a manga/comic book style and I loved it! It was so easy to read and the storyline was so interesting and I loved the graphic designs! Highly recommend on trying it, because I loved every second!

💭 My Thoughts

Overall, I had a fun time with this book. I really liked the FMC, Veronica, and found her extremely relatable (especially with her resistance to accepting help). The art style felt solid, though somewhat dated. The side characters were entertaining and delightful, and I can't wait to see what Isabelle has in store for them (especially Kara). This is a fast, light read that's worth looking into.

Thank you NetGalley and WEBTOON Unscrolled for the eARC!

This was such an interesting read! I absolutely loved the art and really could not put it down until the last second! Im excited to see what happens in the following volumes!

4.5 stars

I really enjoyed this one! I can't wait to read more and get further into the story. So far it's a lot of setup and plot tidbits. Which is to be expected, but it definitely left me wanting more.

Recommended!

Arc review,

I think it was okay, it's my first comic in years and I wanted to start reading them again.
I think the art style has some weird moments where it kind of changes how it looks, which kind of annoys me.
The storyline wasn't really special, but fun to read.
I didn't connect with the characters which might be why it was just an okay read for me.
It is really easy to read, and quite fast to go through.


Thank you for everyone involved for the arc!

firstly, thank you to the publisher for an arc!

i didn’t realize this was a graphic novel adaptation of a popular romance novel, and so now i need to look into reading the novel.

the art is beautiful, but the plot and dialogue flows a bit wonky — i’m going to blame it on the adaptation from novel to graphic novel. still a fun read!

ARC Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you NetGalley and Webtoon for this ARC.

A fantastic dash of romantic drama and I am HERE for it! A fast smooth read and such a smooth transition from Webtoon to book. I was really happy to see this one pop up for publication.

I enjoyed the characters trying to balance all their needs, wants, and the expectations placed on them. I love how true to the feeling of all the different faces are clashing as these two characters are thrown into each others worlds.

The really liked this art style - although the infamous red dress, has me wondering how you'd move in it without concern of flashing the crowd, but to each their own right? Lol.

A great beginning to this romcom series and I am excited for more.

Thank you NetGalley for a copy of this story!

I think this was alright nothing really special and its not something I can see myself continuing. While I was a little hesitant about the art style at first I think it did grow on me throughout the story. I just didnt really care for the Main characters. Calebs character was kind of a creep. He just another rich kid that enjoys the luxuries of his parents money but then get upset when they get involved with his basketball team because of his failing grades. And then instead of taking his grades more seriously says he wants to go to a party and is fine missing class but will cry about failing later. Im not sure what the full relationship is with his parents but he seems a little ungrateful in this volume. His communication with everyone in his life also annoys me. Veronica was irritating me this entire story as well. I didnt understand any of her decisions starting from the beginning. What type of girl especially one worried about seeming easy goes to a bar ALONE in a dress that is going to get alot of attention then gets super drunk and then goes to a dark alley where no one can see her and then starts passing out!! The constant sass she was giving Caleb when she was an employee was also crazy. I understand when he was being sexual but she had no professionalism from the start. During their interactions in public she would complain about all the people looking at her but during a majority of the interactions she would start yelling or would do something to cause a scene which made people look at her. I also thought this would be more food related. I know its not in the description but she is his live in chef so i expected more from that story line.

I also dont really care for the cover AFTER reading this. When I seen it I thought this would be a cutesy romance but Veronica is very standoffish and the cover does not accurately portray them. I feel like itd be better if they were both facing forward and she look kinda annoyed and he was trying to look casual while sneaking a glance at her. I think some people will like this but it just wasnt for me

This was fine. I really was not a fan of the art style at first, to me it comes off looking kind of dated, but as I kept reading it grew on me. Also this couple’s first interaction at the club is honestly every woman's nightmare scenario. She was dancing by herself and says she needs something to make her forget (out loud to herself for some reason) and he swoops in behind her and whispers in her ear ‘...or someone else? Hey, Red. Been looking for you my whole life’. Brother euughhh!!!

How is it that this woman knows the star basketball player's name and knows that he’s the It Boy on campus but didn’t know what he looked like…

Last point (which is incredibly nit picky, I know) but the red dress, which is the statement dress, comes off very burgundy in the art. Now I know burgundy is within the red family, but when people talk about THE red dress, they mean like fire engine red not burgundy. And they kept calling it a red dress, his nickname for her was Red, so the dress should have been more clearly red if we’re going to make such a big deal about it.

Overall, this was very middle of the road for me. It wasn’t bad and if it sounds interesting to you definitely give it a shot, but I don’t think this is one that I’ll think about again in the future.

He needs a cook and she needs a place to stay
"I'll be your chef" ...... "and I'll be your roommate"

I love that he has a nickname for her, "red" its cute. I can't wait to see where this goes, they are both keeping this as normal as roommates but i can see slowly that something can change between them. Also, he's a basketball pkayer, so it's giving sports romance, maybe roomates to lovers. I enjoyed volume one of Chasing red and the art was lovely.
