YaoiHands's manga / #United States(2)

Oohh I am loving this one so far! Their relationship did develop very fast though lol Hard to pinpoint an exact era, but it’s set in the States, say around the 40s maybe? The cars and guns are an easy give away, but the clothing styles are so basic that it’s hard to tell. Anyways, at a young age, Chris was a witness to a crime. The murderer hid him and told him to stay quiet cause he didn’t want to kill him. After that he was traumatized and became fearful of guns but interested in crimes and police investigations. Chris, now a young adult has entered college and got himself two roommates, and one of them unexpectedly latches himself on to Chris, unbeknownst to Chris, he’s no ordinary guy. Max is apart of one of the deadliest gangs in the city and happens to be the murderer that hid him as a witness all those years ago. They end up in a romantic and sexual relationship that basically the whole school finds out about and so they move out in their own. Sooner than later, Chris is going to find out what Max really is all about.

Set in the US, a lovely strong from a popular novel! A gay romance involving werewolves and (reverse) racism! Surprise, but not really, the Native American MC’s mom doesn’t like white people, but her son fancies blonde hair and blue eyes. Being a werewolf isn’t the main focal point of the story and I enjoy that. It’s refreshing that they are both werewolves, not one human trying to learn of a newfound existence. .Instead the plot focuses on their relationship and fated mates and the acceptance between themselves and within their family and friends. I love how quickly Chay (Native American) was so accepting of his mate being a guy. As for looks, he was spot on, so that was a bonus, but to deny the feeling of your mate was against his better judgement (for both of them really). I will like to add on that I thought it was strange af that even though Chay’s mom doesn’t like white folks, she named her kid one of the whitest American names I’ve ever heard and I think his middle name is Montgomery. Lol and many of the names of the other Native Americans (including werewolves) are very white or weird white American names like Tina, Bobby, and Keaton (Chay’s white lover, also a very strong werewolf, but doesn’t care. He came out to his family and left because they wouldn’t accept him). I am not sure if it’s just names the author thought white people had in America or they weren’t sure if Native American names were ok to use. Idk, but it’s funny and honestly took some getting used to.
