Zihvuda's manga / #yaoi(47)

Whoever did the the english translation for this is freaking excellent. I don't know anything about the accuracy of the translation, but the grammar and wording was fantastic and didn't sound stilted, or like the korean words were read and put through a shit internet translator, before shoved into a sentence regardless of it making sense or not. Also actually proofread too as I don't even remember any mistakes. The people who put this translation together know how english works and I am so HAPPY. The bullying scenes in this were harrowing. As was mister Vendetta. He creeped me the fuck out, and I was so worried for Hyeongoh pretty much the whole way into the story until I realized he was safe.

I liked the story this was a sequal to more, but this is ok. I'm a bit disappointed. The setting was hella interesting but I find myself taking issue with the mangakas shallow as fuck reading of wildlife. Herbivores chase off predators all the time, they are amazing. Where the fuck were all the buffalo, rhinos, and elephants in this story?? I get that with someone who's a rabbit it would make sense to be meek and cautious and careful, but a horse?? They fight off mountain lions in the wild, and you telling me this guy was having trouble with a freaking hyena??? They made such a big deal about transforming and attacking someone being a jailable offense, but so is sexual assault so why the hell wouldn't the horse just stomp the asshole who tried to rape him into the fucking ground? Also we never saw the hyena suffer ANY consequences after he transformed anyway and attacked Lion. Author-san probably should have picked a smaller more helpless herbivore to pair up with the lion if they wanted to continue the 'helpless uke' theme. Like a guinea pig, or hamster. An Iguana would have been fun too. Sad not to see a story beat where lion gets hurt and then horse transforms and carries him to safety. Nope, can't have that, just get saved from rape, that's not cliche and done to death at all.

Good Plot. Romance was pretty organic, nothing forced. Neither half of the couple was a raging moron. Men looked like actual men. Simple plot with power moves, No helpless Uke trope. No Rape! 8D

Art is pretty great, the steamy side of the story is pretty good. Characters are likeable, if a little light on motivation. No unnecessary rape! Missing: plot. Guy gets brought back to life, no-one tells him why and for what purpose. Him and the guy who brought him back to life just rock up to a city and then an inn and nothing happens besides MC very ineffectually trying to figure out what this world is, and trying to get laid. He also falls in love pretty much only because the author said so. After that it's pretty fluffy. Overall it's pretty brainless, wouldn't call this good by any means, but it was enjoyable enough to finish.

So freaking cute. Though at the beginning Misato is such an ass, and Kusakabe is such a jealous whiny bitch. XD Somehow they get together, and it's freaking adorable.

Attempted suicide in this. But other than that, my god was this a good read! No rape! No emotional blackmail! No toxicity in the couple's relationship! It was lovely, happy endings are nice~
