Description
In the final volume of The Story of Lee, Lee and Matt continue their studies and their relationship in the UK. With growing confidence Lee asserts herself more and Matt finds that he needs to change or challenge—change to be more the way she likes, or challenge her ideas and risk upsetting their relationship. Meanwhile a Chinese student becomes a rival to Lee's attentions, and Matt finds himself in both financial and existential trouble. Against the backdrop of increasing societal turmoil back in Hong Kong, Lee's father gets sick and she has a big decision to make: go back home to help or pursue an independent life in the UK?

I really enjoyed this, the story was lovely, I enjoyed the trials their relationship went through. Such likeable characters and well written, you could relate to the difficult decisions. The art work is beautiful and I’m a big fan of manga. I would definitely recommend this one to new and experienced readers.

Simple drawings to complement complex subjects. Social unrest, feminism and personal angst. The characters are quite likable though they are living through relationship problems as well as idealogical differences.

Writing a love story where hero and heroine don't manage to make it work in the end is an unconventional choice, but a brave one. And I am convinced that a cold shower of reality is needed from time to time, especially one that is so thoughtfully well plotted. The romance is slowly stifled by the differences in race, status, social expectations and life challenges but it ultimately cannot win against the desire to live life in completely different ways.
I congratulate the authors for a a story every couple should read to understand where they could go wrong or where may have already gone wrong in the past.
