Kakeru Arao is a self-centered host. Satoshi Niizuma is a freaky best-selling author who stalks him. Kakeru got drunk and (accidentally) hit on Satoshi while Satoshi was working as a convenience store clerk, and as a result, Satoshi fell in love at first sight! So begins their stalkerish romance! Every time Satoshi starts to complain, Kakeru screws him until he can't stand up. But, with Satoshi's tendency to attempt suicide and his indifference to his own health, Kakeru finds that he can't leave him alone. Despite their growing bond, Kakeru won't admit that he's falling for Satoshi. Where will their romance take them...!? Behold the dangerous love between a host and a freaky stalker!
Lol don't be deceived by the title. It's a cute mother- daughter relationship ( that's why there's ? mark) and I don't get where's the Yuri unless it was meant to mislead people.
Ohhhhh a new manga from Aki Irie- sensei!!! Eh-- nope turns out it's one of her early manga. I have always been a fan of her art style in her later works.
I have so many questions about this novel, but first and foremost, what's up with that overflowing mana of Athanasia!? You'd think that with that talent her father will have someone teach her magic and she'll become a practitioner. but that's not the case!!!
He doesn't want his daughter to get injured by practicing magic, her "overflowing" mana was one of the cases as to why she gets sicks often on the start.
Magic isn't easy, her powers might recoil back to her, causing her to fet injured, or even worse. Death...
Get*
Yeah that's one of the things that crossed my mind. I was hoping that she would ask Lucas to teach her how to use, or at least control her magic... Maybe she never thought about it idk?
Still, can't she ask Lucas secretly? Imagine this: you have been transmigrated to a world with magic, you have overflowing potential, and you won't even grab this chance!? Especially if it can help you through trouble. And think about this: if she used her mana then there won't be surplus anymore!
If magic isn't easy then how come the people around her use it with ease?
You know there are diffrrent types of magic? There is pure, dark, recreation, destructive, mysticism, necromancy and etc. Clause may have a different type of magic, they can stabalize another type. But it may backfire the one whose treating her (Just like in the last chapter)
And thats the problem. She cant use her mana yet because she's still physically a child so even if a tiny bit of mana comes in or out from her, it may destroy her body or even yet, she'll implode.
Lucas is the only one who can help her, but as he already said "You do know it's already hard for me to maintain your current health with my magic"
Having a great amount of mana isn't fun and dandy. There are some people who are forced to go into a factory and use them by sucking their mana dry. Over and over.
Remember, she's still a human and a child in form.1
I don't know in the later chapters (I stopped at chapter 43 and will wait for season 2 to resume reading), but I'm sure the only other type mentioned was dark magic. Heck, magic was not even properly explained in the story. I know I'm just being nitpick about this but a good story have good world building (even if magic is not the main focus)-- I'm not saying it's not good, just it'll be better! Well, maybe it would be explained later in the story. Sorry for dragging you into my own musings.
Its ok, I explained it to you in order to know what you missed.
Season 1is just the beggining, indroduction and some development (That was turned to dust lol).
Season 2 is gonna bring more of a clearer explanation on who Lucas is, or what happened to Claude's brother and the true story of the kingdom.
Ok I'm looking forward to it! Also can I ask when will it resume?
3 months on June.
SPOILERS
Claude become more insane when Athy wasn't with him. The ony thing to keep him sane is a mana video. And lucas shows up at the end of the season.. lol
Noooo don't tempt me to check it out! For now I'll have self-induced amnesia and will come back in June lol to read the rest.
The atmosphere of this actually reminds me of another shounen-ai work where everything is really light hearted and really captures the 'rose colored life' of high school students.
Furthermore it's full colored and much more vibrant.
May i know the title for the shounen-ai work you mentioned?
Harenochi shikibu. Read it if you still hadn't! (⌒▽⌒)
Oh my god!! That one is one of my favourites(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Yeah me too!!! Along with Madk, Anemone no Shishuu, and others~
So what I learned in the latest chapter is that octopus fantasies is already a kink of ancient people. Ok time to bang my head in the wall to forget that drawing.
So the ring Jennette wears turns out to be the thing suppressing her jewel eyes as you can see in chapter 40 when she touched it. Though not as vibrant as Athanasia's.
Also wtf at the background Lucas and a bird (eagle?) was having a staring contest!?
At first you'd think it's a shoujo ai cuz they're both girls, but nope (thankfully). It's time to finally recognize FRIENDSHIP in manga! We don't see that often.
I kinda wish it ain't a romance. Sometimes it undermines the plot of the story and instead the focus is more on it. Besides, knowing that the MC is in love with Akira will make us more bias towards her thus any other characters will be viewed as rivals. Can't this just be friendship manga?
Please I just hope this won't turn into another disappointment ╥﹏╥
Um you think transgender people don't go through problems? If you don't then why are you assuming that only this being a romance would cause us to view other characters negatively? Ktbn.
Well for one some have already disliked the other girl. If it's not romance then the story MIGHT focus more on PROBLEMS faced by trans people and those close to them.
I think love is a problem that trans people face. Maybe not in this story, but it a big deal about when or whether or not a trans person reveals that they are trans. Or in this case her class mates knew her before Akira transitioned and if she wants to date one of them she might have a hard time with others still seeing her as male. I think that is the main issue that people have with the bubbly girl’s character is that she said “boyfriend” which indicates that she problably doesn’t view Akira as a girl.That being said I can see how it could be nice to have the story more about Akira and her struggle rather then things being seen by the friend’s persective.
I know right? Because it is from the friend's perspective (and that friend is in love with her), it's a default mode for the readers to root for MC (making other love interests 'rival/antagonist' like that bubbly girl as you call her). I don't have anything about romance (maybe just tired of it), but if this about a friend rooting for her trans friend in her love life (and life in general) then that'd be more palatable.
Yeah I agree that it would be nice if the friend wasn’t in love with her and was just trying to be supportive. I did like how it seemed like the bubbly girl kinda called her out on that and that she was preventing Akira from making other friends because she was jealous and thought that she could be the only one that could understand Akira. I hope that in the future she can put Akira’s wants before her own personal feelings. I still maybe hope that it could work out for the two of them, but I don’t think it will in the end and that Akira will fall in love with someone else and the Mc will have to accept it.
