A love for all time. I wept, I couldnt put it down. I'm so thankful they made it. Soulmates, that would do anything for one another. What a good read.

Hmmm, this was not done well. If you’re gonna dive into this painful deep story, do it right. The convent was dubious and there was not enough real communication for him to heal from that trauma. And he was the cop who saved him? Like wtf? That takes it to a creepy level for sure. A story of healing is possible but this was a failed attempt. I do think nishina had true feelings, but souta’s seem quite manipulated from loneliness and real attention mixed with shame and confusion about his reaction to his trauma. This topic was poorly handled and missed the bar of what it needed to be, to make the reader comfortable and the characters believable.

Not much happens, demon and contract holder fall in love. I don’t even get what the second pair’s purpose was, it was so unresolved. Like whats the point?

Eating? That what the kids call it these days? Loved the horn scene extra. I wondered what that would do to him. Also i hate the force part but overall i like how their relationship went...but come on.

What began as fluff, escalated into full scale drama with mafia and tragic back stories. Wow! It was really good. The art is just gorgeous too.

Intoxicating, the exquisite details and stunning art pull you into a complex tale of captivity, anger, eroticism and fear. Certainly a forbidden relationship filled with taboo and complicated feelings. The plot grasps you until the very end. At its core, a story of master and slave (for lack of a better term). The roles are clearly defined but seem to switch constantly, making the reader pay attention and question what will happen next. This brings up heavy themes like captivity, beasiality and consent/rape. Though the zhen could speak and had very human features they still enslave it as an object of beauty and curiosity? Though that's not surprising since that's done every day to animals and humans. People really suck sometimes. But it does beg the question, that despite these human qualities people still hold no compassion to these creature? Even though they can communicate? Then there's beasiality and rape/assault which is being romanticized. Though that's nothing new in yaoi, unfortunately.
