honest review

I liked this manga a lot, however... What I loved the most were the characters and I mean all of them! They're so unique and special, I was laughing with their jokes and suffering with their pain. The plot is also very original imo, everything about Sanomes and Ayames, the different families and the plot twists! But... this lacks so much in a very very important point, and it's that there's no depth. I never felt fear for my favorite characters when I was reading because no one ever dies, no one has lasting problems because they're one way or another magically solved by Rakan or Chigusa!!!! I don't want them to die or suffer of course but for example that scene where Touno notices that his eyes are the prince's eyes and he was spying on his friends, what leads to him cutting his own eyes - it was sooo emotional and sad but then 10 minutes later he recovers them?? That took out the meaning of the previous scene in my opinion. It also felt like the plot was very good at the beggining but the author hadn't yet planned all the aspects so there's a lot of confusing parts that I had to read over and over again and still didn't manage to understand. After Chigusa finds out about his origins he begins to see those circuits and I was like "wait... am I reading an isekai or something?" because that circuits thing is definitely a cheat code!! They didn't have to think or solve anything anymore because Chigusa could simply see those circuits and kill all the monsters and for me it was such a turn off. I'm not even gonna talk about Rakan being always like "Let's just be friends, stop fighting guys" and after 2 chapters that evil character easily becomes their friend??? I loved the experience for the characters that are well built and amazing, but there are a lot of points that could be improved to make this story a masterpiece not only in BL genre but for all manga readers in general.

    Is there a kiss scene? I finished reading vol 7 and though the story is very good I was looking forward to more feeling developments between Rakan and Chigusa (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ I want to know whether Rakan will think of Chigusa as more than a comrade/friend,etc. later on in the series bcs I'm impatient seeing how naive he is. I'm beginning to doubt the tag shounen ai too ╥﹏╥ can u please answer me

    unfortunately there's no kiss scene ( T﹏T ) while their relationship is clearly more intimate and touchy than that of any other characters, it's purely implied and there's not even a confirmation that they like each other romantically

    ok thanks I'm a little bit disappointed but consider that it was written a while ago I guess that's understandable. Because the story it's great I will keep reading it. Thanks
