ALisAnimeLover's manga / #Angel(5)

Sabishigariya wa Yume o Miru

Complete | SAKURA Riko | 2015 released

1 star for the first story. 3 stars for the second. Average of 2 stars. Ch 1-3 Wth. Why the hell did they end up together. Like bam, "I like you" without any development, not even a "love at first sight". Though at least he made sure his country was well off before stepping down the throne and staying together with the angel. Ch 4-5. Cliche but cute. Now I'm curious about vintage jeans.

Heaven & Hell Roman Company

Complete | Mum | 2016 released

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)

It's... Okay. Characters fell flat, story is interesting, but it's too short.

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.
