Zihvuda's manga / #Surpernatural(23)

Yep. Good. This is good. A very fun story with actual good art, a pushy top and a willing bottom. No rape-y undertones, just good smut. Wolf boy likes human, pursues human, the get together. This story can't be spoiled, it's too simple, and it's fucking great.

It was pretty good, although some things in my opinion lacked enough weight to make me care properly. Some of the deaths felt very unearned (as in "farewell person, we barely knew ye" kind of way). And I wish the comedy relief screaming ninny of a coward would have died. Like at any point in the story would have been good. I was so disappointed he wasn't one of the deaths at the end of this manga. I never managed to fully warm up to him, and I remember on more than one occasion I just skipped his dialogue entirely. I honestly don't understand how anybody could have liked him, or why in the world the author chose to give him the ending they did. Oh well. There were a few other things I didn't like, but in the end it was pretty good, and I did read the whole thing through to the end, so. Wouldn't call it the best series, don't understand why the movies based on this story have been so popular, but whatever. It's definitely not trash like Bleach, so I guess it's ok. Plus it's been a while since I've read an action story about demons, so it feels kind of nostalgic too.

This is a really fun story! The art is great, the character design is damn good and the story isn't annoying. I do wish there'd be a manga out there that would handle the concept of giving up on dreams in a graceful manner rather than this "pursue your dreams at all costs always and never ever give up" business, but this story is too good to get hung up on that. The pacing is good, there's no annoying love interests or purely fanservice/mascot characters. There's some predictable plot turns, but they're executed pretty well so you can't stay too mad at it, and I do love that Kafka gets found out really quickly. So far the author's been very good at not making any plot beats, action or characters outstay their welcome. I find all the characters to be likeable, and it's also SO goddamn refreshing having a main character in an action manga that's in his freaking 30s and actually feels it.

An interesting tale of a girl who... goes back in time to her birth after a series of unfortunate events (she doesn't die). Mystery should be one of the tags for this, but I didn't add it because... well it's window dressing for the plot. For me, the plot doesn't focus enough on the mystery, and there's just too much fluff with the family. Also it's basically a harem story cause everyone is just falling for MC left and right. ML is only properly introduced around chapter 80 or something, and everything else is just everyone fawning of over how cute, pretty and smart MC is. They slowly introduce magic and mana, but not very well, and it's just not my cup of tea. It's honestly mostly slice of life, which is fine for those who like that sort of thing. It, unfortunately isn't what I come to Isekai/reincarnation stories for. Everything is a slow burn and therefore I find myself equal parts intrigued and bored. I do recommend giving it a try, as the story isn't bad, it's just not for me. The translation starts good and then there's once again a series of chapters "translated" by people who don't speak english. Also come chapters have missing pages and it's just.... a mess and a half to get through before someone who has basic knowledge of english makes the story comprehensible again. It's a shame but you miss some important interactions and world building because of the gibberish translations. The gibberish comes in around after chapter 90? I think, and it's like 10-20 chapters before it gets better. =_= sucks. The Romance makes you pray for more time skips. Also it's a reverse harem so it's already not something I'm into. Ugh... I just... I don't want to read about older people in child bodies making moony eyes at each other. It's just uncomfortable. Nor is the romantic moments between 5 year olds better or at all good. Just... Nope, dropping it and looking for something else now, before I end up on a watch list or arrested. (ಠ ∩ಠ)
