Editor's Review
“The Girl Downstairs” is a long romance drama that revolves around the college life of Joon and Duna. The story is interesting, the characters are developed, and the romance is palpable. The characters are probably the best part of this manhua. All the important ones have personalities that feel unexaggerated and human.
The series is about how the main character and his love interests try to make sense of their crisscrossed emotions and desires, with fluttering hearts and fluctuating passions all the while. Throughout the plot, these vicissitudes of love are shown with a playful yet thoughtful tone. We see the characters bantering with one another, enjoying their youthful camaraderie in college and at home.
The animation is absolutely beautiful, especially the hair, facial expressions, and body language. The lighting, shading, movement, well really overall everything in my humble opinion it’s quite visually striking and smooth. The soundtrack is limited, but that might count in its favor as one continues to watch the music cues create an atmosphere.
In conclusion, “The Girl Downstairs” is a unique and entertaining take on the romance genre. Its blend of comedy, action, and romance, combined with its well-executed animation and compelling narrative, make it a must-watch for any anime fan.
