I loved the overall story, and especially the characters. Everything is drawn so beautifully detailed! It’s pure eye candy just to look at the pages. The coloring is done with love, and I genuinely enjoyed all their personalities. The chibis are also very adorable. It’s all so well thought out.
But I can’t ignore the big elephant in the room... I expected more focus on the mafia aspect, such as how Caesar functions within his family, especially with his father. I also assumed we’d get a flashback with Dimitry and Caesar to show their bond as cousins and as to why Dimitry is this obsessed, and perhaps a glimpse into Caesar’s youth, his kidnappings or something along those lines.
Besides, Dimitry keeps using the “mixed race/breed” term, but he himself looks mixed, so there could have been some chapters explaining why he’s so obsessed with this terminology and how other's respond on this. I also felt that the closer we got to the ending, the more NSFW content there was and the less story development. That’s not necessarily a bad thing (I love me some good smut!), but it skipped over many storylines that had been built up. I felt a bit betrayed by the rushing. Personally, I also think that in stories like this, it’s crucial to follow the “show, don’t tell” rule.
Oh well, I hope it gets a season 3, so things can be worked out! I bought all the books nonetheless (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
