pinkstarred's manga / #Dark comedy(2)

This was wrapped up nicely, tied up loose ends and the art was in top form again. I think it summed up the entire story well. And I'm glad Momo feels loved by Yata, and they have eachother. It all worked out in the end. It delves into some serious heavy topics mitigating the tragedy with comedy for both the reader and Momo. Although not total winner for me, I like it a lot, it made me think and feel a spectrum of emotions. ！(◎_◎;)k ... Well.. That was definitely ero.. At first glance it seems light but the actual story of Momo is quite tragic. What he needs from Yata is not marathon sex but rather unconditional love and caring that Momo has never received. All he's known is that sex equals money/something he needs or wants, it is not an expression of love. Although we see Momo clearly changing because of Yata's mothering protection it's almost undone with his ferocious sexual appetite. I'm not sure how I feel about it, like Momo says it almost feels like rape at times. A real life look at trauma caused by prostitution, laughing everything aside so he won't break down. It's sobering when Momo takes something seriously but is quickly pushed aside by a gag as if to stop the reader from balling and keep a facade of comedy just like Momo. I love the art, its drawn well including the backgrounds, though it definately changes over volumes. It definately falls apart at times becoming sloppy. I love her paneling, they are interesting and display the action well. The dramatic scenes were done so well, but it can get busy especially in the second volume. Sensei seems to like sound effects. There was a couple of chapters that used textured screens and I am not a fan of that effect. It makes a scene busy and messy and unpleasant to look at. It seems like an unnecessary way to take up blank space thats just distracting. Luckily it seemed to be temporary. There were times though that she would use loads of panels and yet it worked, combining close ups with little dialogue emphasized the action while makeing it easy to read. Rating 3.9/5

A doki doki romance of an unlikely match of an assassin and actor. Its funny and kind of violent but a charming slice of life tale thats actually super cute. Loved it, gonna miss watching these two stumble around in their fluffy love.
