SharkVice's manga / #Enemies(40)

My summary: In a corrupted Japan, after one of the four kings (the Red king) raids Sarasa's village and kills her father and brother, Sarasa takes on her brother's identity and rises as a rebel leader. It would be fair to say that the Red King and 'Tatara' are destined enemies. However, while they're each plotting and campaigning to kill the other, they end up meeting in disguise and falling in love. One of my all-time favorites. I love the Romeo X Juliet style stories. Shuri and Sarasa both end up taking important people from the other and that just adds to weight of their love. The politics, alliances, and adventures add further richness to the story.

Amazing story. Prodigal strategist and Unrivaled General fall in love but they're enemies. I watched the chinese drama which tones down Chu Beijie's (the male lead) possessiveness and aggressiveness and makes him a sweet gentleman, but I would've loved to see this manhua completely cover the original novel with the hot-blooded personality Beijie was supposed to have. Unfortunately, this manhua only covers the beginning of the novel.

I like the whole mortal enemies kinda plot

This is really good. In a way, it reminds me of Qishi Huanxiang Ye and Doulou Dalu. It's a little bittersweet because she's gone through so much that you just want her to finally find happiness.

I love the seme of the second couple (Suzume). However, I didn't appreciate the style or tone of the manga. It's fine to add cute components such as the bear and bee to a yakuza story but it didn't feel like a yakuza story at all (which sucks cause I love those). The two semes might as well have been rich corporate heirs rather than yakuza heirs.
