I want to rant... why a timeskip? It was so exciting that Canaria was being a double agent at 12 years old (mentally 25 years old)! And I disliked that the author just decided to skip a big portion of the process where Canaria wins Cesar's trust and gets closer to Cesar... if you asked me, the author missed on a gold mine...
Now that you mention, I kind of agree. But then again, using imagination also works well
The author tried to make it such that all the characters kinda have a happy ending... but I am skeptical Vichid, who hadnt been the epitome of stability, wouldnt become paranoid that his 6 brothers are still alive and plot to kill them to eliminate any threats...
Ian is totally in an abusive relationship. And the vexing thing is he was just accepting of it. Vichid just all but destroyed Ian's moral compass, and the way he guilted Ian to stay with him... might have been a joke but arrrgh it's pressing all sorts of wrong buttons with me.
The way Noah/El and Ryan fell for each other was... not done that well. Ryan fell for Noah/El due to his... 'charisma'? Or just an urge to own something he couldn't take home in his childhood days? At least the way Noah/El fell for Ryan was better? Ryan accepted Noah/El the way he is, and lonely Noah had always wanted to just belong to someone.
Machin x Jaina is just too abrupt. But Machin is wise. Stay away from the death trap that is the competition from the throne. Just keep your head down and avoid trouble and survive quietly away from the capital.
Not a bad story. The main couple is handsome, so that helps. Sometimes I felt Ryan's hair and cat-eyeliner-eyes made him similar to BNHA's Hawks. A more masculine version.
Biting arm makes sense in kiraide isasete because Naoto was unmated/unpaired. Hazuki biting him could bond him unwillingly.
Shiina already bound Rika to him. Biting him a second time won't have any effect other than temporary pain.
Hmm about Rika protecting his neck against Mei and co... curious. Why did Rika do that? Can he be bonded to other alphas too? So far in the omegaverse I've seen, polygamy is only possible for the alphas, not for omegas.
I think this story is trying to do too much is 1 volume:
- Not enough interactions between Shiina and Rika to show that they have naturally fallen in love
- Would have wanted to read Shiina's backstory. It seemed that he had already fallen in love with Rika in middle school? Before the rape? Did shitty-omega know that and that's why he chose Shiina to be the alpha putting his dick into Rika when he was plotting the rape? Did Yuki's ex also drug Shiina so he'll be in his rut? Or Shiina just happened to be in rut therefore he was chosen by Yuki's ex (how likely is this? don't alphas in rut also need to stay at home like omegas in heat so they won't be a danger to anyone?)?? TOO MANY QUESTIONS!
I appreciate how the author tried to bring in the Yuki-and-Rika-are-fated-pairs-but-they-don't-have-to-stay-together thing... but really. TOO ABRUPT. The relationship between Shiina and Rika were too weak for Rika to have decided to be with Shiina.
I kinda really want this manga to have 2nd volume just to cover the questions I have about, but how likely is that, since this manga kinda botched the pacing of the first volume...
Proof that going back to the basic works.
The pretty art also makes it very pleasing.
If you like this story, you will also like "Taisho Wotome Otogibanashi". Art style is different but it's very heartwarming all the same!
Hope for the day the manga has enough plot for 1 cour!
Now it's a lot of slice-of-life-y 'Anya does stupid and hilarious things' but why did I love it so much? OMG.
