Heaven & Hell Roman Company
Just finished first season (it was ongoing when i read this). Pace is all around. Really all around. It's kinda okay, but it's also not okay. I'm a bit sad it's focused more on the bl side, and not much on the fantasy plot (the heaven/hell, angel/demon) when it's so interesting *pouts*. Srsly tho, the story can cover both w/o ruining the other. So... 6/7 (probs 6.5-6.75)

Last story deserves a 5 star, but the other 3 stories are just so-so. Ch 1 and 2-3 (is it really 2 chapters in one?) is about a transferee and his classmate. Pretty chill, though a tidbit cliche and bland. I liked how their friend knows about them just through intuition, and how he just kept quiet instead of causing drama. Ch 4 is um... idk if it's the translation or if it's just really short so the story felt like it went at the speed of light. A guy attending his unrequited love's wedding meets his senpai at the wedding. Senpai offered to be his rebound back in high school, and again now after the wedding. Then all of a sudden, MC says he actually couldn't forget senpai (as if he's in love with senpai), and that's it. That's just it. Didn't really feel any emotions from the MC nor the senpai. Ch 5 is a fantasy story about a kitsune and a dying monk. A lil bittersweet, but a lil too short. Ch 6 is the best in this anthology, which isn't just because all the other 3 are not good. I can't say anything without spoiling it though.
