Book Review: Age Matters Volume 2


Twenty-nine-year-old Rose is trying to pick up her life after her ex-boyfriend cheated on and then dumped her. In need of employment, she takes over her best friend's odd job to cook and deliver meals to a mysterious boss. This boss turns out to be Daniel, the 23-year-old CEO of Lime. She finds him too abrasive, while he finds her too desperate, but they eventually learn to get along.

Does Rose like-like Daniel? Is Daniel secretly into Rose? Daniel thinks Rose and Andrew have something going on. Rose thinks Daniel is using her to make Via jealous. And now a silver hottie comes on strong with Rose. Oh, the drama! Volume 2 is on fire!

Age Matters volume 2 by Enjelicious will be released on September 3, 2024. Wattpad Webtoon Book Group provided an early galley for review.

I enjoyed the first volume of this manga earlier in the year, so I decided to continue with the story.

The story continues to move at a slower pace, even as the interactions shift to the corporate offices. The staff is full of attractive individuals, all beautifully rendered in the art. It reminds me in a lot of ways of soap operas I watched as a young adult - full of relationship tensions.

Another aspect of the art which I like is how it is very cinematic in its presentation. Gestures are conveyed over several panels; I feel like I am watching an anime rather than reading a static manga.
