Mad Cinderella
this dragged on too long for my taste. It's cute, it really is, and it's from sensei who is great at making this dynamic of uke and seme who are crazy for each other without it coming off as too cringy and overbearing, however this was just not for me, when the author said that this was an idea that they had as a student, it totally made sense because everything was just so wishy washy and the issues pop in n outta nowhere, I mean that kidnapping plot was rolled 3 times, what even is that? characters are good enough but I just couldn't care much for them; Honto Yajuu is a bit wishy washy too but at least that one was episodic and I dunno just made more sense plotwise? the characters introduced were also given enough panels for the readers to be invested in them, same characters were also dynamic unlike here where they are just flat, the seme is a horny, obsessive type from the beginning, the uke is a goody two shoes til the end, the other characters, they're basically just mobs who were given features instead of just blobs (maybe it was the author's way of practicing their illustration, dunno?)

I first saw the sequel to this and one of the comments expressed excitement over the return of the "Japanese Hannibal" so I went to this prequel with thoughts that it's going to be psychological and it went on for a while especially on the first chapters when the seme was focused on the uke running away and whatnot wahahahah, thank goodness that commenter just probably meant that the seme looks like Mads Mikkelsen who played Hannibal in a series. Such a nice, considerate seme, and a thoughtful, clingy uke; they have suuuuuccch a healthy dynamic, the communication is just really something, specially on the sequel; though the author had notes on this prequel, I don't think the translators included it. So soft, and warm, and makes you look forward to growing old with someone who loves you and whom you love back unconditionally.
