Im the type to value how stories begin because that's basically the hook line of the story. For me, the build up was quick and didn't establish the foundation of the story. the characters are given qualities that aren't explained nor justified. Wolves? Foxes? Both are predators but their relationship isnt explained. besides, why is the uke so hung up with a picture and why is the seme given attributes of being alpha who is protective even if there isnt anything to protect his pack from when he preyed on that fox who just wanted to mate.

no, it doesnt make me curious, it disappoints me because i cant focus on their actions given that they arent justified.

well, thats my opinion anyway.

    Exactly!! Sad example of great art and weak plot. Feels like the most basic yaoi story ever, but look! There are Foxes and Wolves! For some reason....

    Well said, thumbs up.
    The art is beautiful though - I was able to enjoy that, at least.

It's tragic and it takes its time to confuse you. It will keep telling you that it's not romantic, but certain scenes will make you somehow hope that things will work. But it won't and the execution justifies it. My all time favorite will always be Sangwoo counting the pills. The message gets through in every pill he counts, hoping to reach the same quantity he last counted. He snapped the moment he thought Bum did the same and he shaved his hair, another change he did after dyeing his hair (cause he looked like his father).

and thats actually amusing because girls are known for changing their hair when they want to forget or at least move on.

And when he shaved it, he really lost himself.

for Bum... well... if the ending is how i think it is, his stalking nature made his promise to die after Sangwoo was fulfilled.

It offers enough sweetness with your tea. I have to say, Aoi took all the logic or book smart traits from Riku while Riku turned into a wifey character. Being dense seems to be odd for Takashi to have since he was called cunning and he gives the vibes of a teasing seme.

There is a big potential for the characters to be on a whole level of psycho. the seme couldve been outright dominating and possessive but he submits to the uke's promise to stay. the uke could be an all in slut but the author tones it down with the swimming club's captain. the younger brother doesnt qualify being a stalker or obsessed since he is more of a bark but not bite character.

so, even when the characters can progress there the author didnt go for it so there is somehow a lacking feeling or emotion in it.

I began reading it thinking that it's about this submissive vampire and dominating human. like a simple love story about people of two different worlds. but no, it gets better. as we delve into their identity, we explore the social classes existing in a post apocalyptic vampire-ruled world where different lives are in play. The power play of species and how the two have lived interdependently while the vampires still retained their tyranny. Eric could have been a symbol of unity but he was made into an enemy so that the two worlds wont be in war, thus he had to "die". In doing so, the new world was idealized to be two distinct worlds living in harmony and not unity. To me, there is a difference between the two because harmony values identity while unity idealizes mutant consequences like Eric. So yeah, it's a refreshing take on vampire stories.

thanks for coming to my tedtalkヾ(☆▽☆)

i can take a piss at Jaeseok's course of action but that's reality. no matter how many people talk about inner beauty or accepting your natural features, the majority will still have an inkling to choose atteactiveness and pleasant physique. sure he couldve only used his voice and still go on a diet without surgery but the person he fell in love with had standards. theres no saying how the story couldve gone if he didnt take surgery because it's already rooted in Jaeseok's mentality that he wasnt attractive, meaning he lived through his childhood feeling out of place. it was just that Jaehyun's attention triggered his desire to actually take a big leap. besides, it worked out to his advantage because Jaehyun's love matured into accepting him amid his insecurities and past.

besides, the author made it that Jaeseok's transformation wasnt enough to change his personality. he wasnt hung up on his beautified feature. this is a personal journey rather than a propaganda that surgery will solve all your problems.

so much potential but it ended prematurely. the characters couldve developed a heart binding relationship but stopped at confessions and beginning stages of courting. and i feel like the character arc for the uke in the first story couldve grown more.

Bexan and Minsuk make werewolves x human more casual and more of a RomCom duo. Léto and Ein has that spicy hot action that really brings out the angst of mafia x undercover cop. Meanwhile, Melina and her lover explores the tragedy of being two worlds apart. Even so, these three couples are intertwined by love and their desire make the other happy, albeit in different ways. It also doesn't feel forced and unnatural even when the themes varied because the foundation was solid.
