"Once upon a time, Marcel's sister injured herself in the forest while gathering herbs. Marcel was at a loss for what to do until a fearsome horned man appeared, offering help–in exchange for a promise. Now, ten years later, Marcel returns to the woods, steeling himself for death. Instead, he finds something quite different: a gentle soul, friendship... and perhaps something more." ✰ Human x Nonhuman ⤷ I love the first story so much everything about it is beautiful. The writing the art the setting the atmosphere I wish the entire manga was that story. I liked the one shots as well, but just not as much but I also am just not a super fan of anthologies I get invested in one story only, but yeah, just talking about the first story I could read like 80 more chapters of them. 4.5

"Even though he should be able to die like a normal human, Kiyonosuke has been living for thousands of years, all because he accidentally "married" a merman. But Kiyonosuke can't give up on his humanity and has been looking for a cure to immortality." ✰ Human x Nonhuman (Mermaid) ⤷ lovely writing, albeit a bit confusing storytelling. jumped from past to present so frequently that i sometimes got lost. art is beautiful, love an older ML.
