Ok it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, but it also just... was not good either. Honestly this sequel feels kind of pointless? Like it didn't add anything to the story. And I'm annoyed that Rou's takeaway from the whole thing was to avoid talking about Niko and his work with Yoshino. Idk something about that really rubs me the wrong way.
I can't get over Yoshino turning into a side character in his own manga, either. He's the biggest appeal of this series to me and seeing the author sideline him in his own series was a really odd choice. I just feel pretty disappointed because I usually love this author's works and I loved the first volume so much.
AHHHHH reading this was such a fun experience!! I'm so sad I caught up haha. They're seriously so freaking cute. I loved the angst of the unrequited love at the beginning and the angst of Kakeru's insecurities. I love all the characters but Kakeru is my favorite, I really love how he is written.
He's insecure about himself and thinks he has nothing to offer other people, but you can see how loved he is by the people around him. He's kind, soft hearted, thoughtful, quick to help others, attentive, and very cute. Despite his insecurities and anxiety he has such a bright personality and is always making the people around him laugh and feel at ease. It's no wonder Yamato fell so hard for him, and it's no wonder Kakeru is surrounded by so many wonderful people. Now if only he could see his own good points, too. I hope Yamato reminds him over and over until Kakeru understands just how loved he is by the people in his life :')
I hope I can buy the physical manga and support the author soon ;u;
Good lord this was such a refreshing read. Absolutely loved Jawook with all my heart. His design is so simple but so sexy, and his mature and strong willed personality is so refreshing to me. I can see why Gyum became so obsessed with him.
I think this is the best bdsm comic I've ever read. I love how real it feels and I love that they didn't make Gyum give up on bdsm just because he fell in love and Jawook wasn't an M. I've read so many comics where the couple would stop doing bdsm after they fell in love, as if it was something immoral that they needed to overcome. I was worried the same would happen here, so I love that Jawook was still down to try anything and as a result, they both learned new things about their own preferences and what they liked and didn't like.
I just love that Jawook matched Gyum's freak and completely placed his trust in him. It was romantic and really sexy.
Lastly I loved the art from start to finish, even if the style changed over time. I seriously love how this artist draws everything from people, to cats and fish, and to the food. You can tell this artist has drawn a lot from life.
Aghhh I'm so sad there's no more to read. I will dearly miss this








Ch 89 page 19, he felt so safe in Olruggio's arms that his roots began to grow... I'm gonna cry
