Holy fuck they're so stupid I missed them so much

By the looks of the cover art, Raven isn't going to be the ML... but I wasn't feeling much of a protagonist vibe from him so, not that mad. They can work as friends and confidantes. I'm just scared of whether the actual ML is going to be her enemy (as in, he was somehow involved in her father's death, as a soldier or not) or whether he'll help her in her plans. This FL is def not the best case of "not like other girls", but oh well, I like how she has a oenchant for fighting and whatnot. If the author can build her up properly she could be a very fine character. Fingers crossed!

Honestly the thing the FL's parents have with the clothes they wear is so overtop I can't take them seriously it feels like the author didn't know how to properly render them as bad people outside of the gag... but oh well, everything else is so nice!! I love how the FL and ML are both so cute with each other...

my god the translation on ch7... she saw ninomae get SHOT?! WHAT
no hate to the uploader, i swear, but reading that was so funny...

a lot of things were left unexplained but i don't hate thsi ending at all -- the execution is very mid, but i'm not mad with what happens. as someone who is genderfluid it is kind of interesting to imagine their relationship continues like that. but oh well. this was very much an ero kind of manga so i'm not going to condemn the mangaka for not delving deep into the plot lol

I reas this bc i found the summary funny and, wow, this story got a couple of laughs out of me. I def won't be staying for future updates but like, everything's
sailing smoothly so far, so good for them lol

The dubcon is hard to just ignore but honestly? Considering how it is practically a staple to yaoi (as in, specifically BL manga) it’s not all that bad. The incubus is kind of inconsiderate but even from the first volume he doesn’t seem entirely unreasonable. Though, for some reason, from when he first discovers about Yagi, he just turns into more of a douche??? I understand how jealousy became practically a trope in romance stories, and it’s a plot ploint in almost anything under the sun at this point... But damn, the author really did not hold back. Our guy is already on kind of thin ice from the beginning and the jealousy does Not help his case; it falls into a weird gap of "oh, well, he IS a demon" and "yeah the author really jumped the guns here".

I just hope things get solved soon enough... The hints at how he might be tired of life itself at this point, or the thing with someone trying to exorcise him before, seem like interesting plot points to watch unravel. Like, the fact he says “he still has something that Yusa needs to do for him” maybe means he *does* want Yusa to kill him (if the thing about being tired of living for so long is on the table), and he ended up getting mad over the fact that Yusa might have “plotted” with Yagi rather than being vulnerable with Yusa knowing his name. Since Yusa has that magic prowess and all, our incubus guy might have gone for him *because* of how that could help in exorcising him...
And then fell in love and got jealous, yadda yadda. We know how it goes.

So all things considered I understand the hate on our incubus guy, but I think I’ve been kind of desensitised to toxic yaoi,,,, and I know at the end of the day the author is probably planning for them to be all lovey dovey (to some extent) with eachother so honestly I just wish we could get to that faster

This manga had the formula for greatness but the story was just a glorified "throwing shit around to see what sticks" and One good plot point (Enra's backstory). Everything seemed like they could become interesting aspects but they get so underdeveloped that the lack of substance makes the initial concept seem worthless – the mirror, the Enma/Yama scroll, most of Enra's siblings, the ""evil aura"", sinners that worked in hell, the never-seen-again temporary (???) Hell which seemed to purify souls and was deigned not fit for the test, even if they ended up purifying the souls anyway... well. There was so much. And none of them really go anywhere. I can see how some things might have been necessarily rushed (the ending honestly smells of axed manga), but even early on the author seems keen on keeping things ambiguos – probably for some great finale that never happened – and that is very, very bad writing. Whether purposefully leaving everything to be explained and solved at the end or simply not ever planning on explaining things, it was just a bad choice on the author's part. But oh well. The character interactions and dynamics were interesting enough to keep me going for 17 chapters (although they lacked the depth needed if this was ever intended to be longer), so there's that.

I really can't say I'm dissatisfied or disappointed with the ending too – which I see a lot of people complain about. I think the involvement of a third party (trying to keep myself spoiler-free here) in Komachi's story was not really a problem, it's the execution and what exactly she did that really stands out as... unbelievably anticlimactic. Especially since that's supposed to be worse than a *bio terrorist planning mass genocide.* Like, be so fr
Even then, the manga falls off on a lot of aspects so this doesn't feel especially disappointing to me. I just feel bummed I won't see the true potential of this concept :/

They're both cute, tbh, but the way this guy constantly talks about how "he doesn't want other men around her" is hitting my PTSD of past relationships... that's a yikes right there. Even more so than his lying ass imo

Also everyone is troubled about him slandering their marriage in the past (ch10), but honestly? It's probably more of the same old trope of "we didn't hear everything" or didn't know his circumstances at the moment. I don't think it's a nice thing for him to have ever said, regardless of his reasons, buttt I do know this is a romance manga so that's probably where the story is headed. I'll see if I can read the novel and see what was up with that lol

I was kind of iffy about the fact Kuro looked like a kid for the most part, but then ended up paired with Zeno... but then he held her in her fox form and tbh I'm not even sure if that's weirder. It was a great story overall, so this is easily something I can overlook tho
