nini's manga / #sequel(44)

i'm quite in the middle for this one :/ i love their relationship and how cute they are but the plot just threw me off i don't think the noncon thing (between shouta and ikkun) that happened was necessary for this story, also there were a lot of small conflicts but it wasn't that annoying since they (ikkun and hana) communicate right after so its fine :)) the intense scene between hana and shouta was so good though like i really enjoyed seeing feisty hana claiming his man >< i love how he singlehandedly handled two descendants of a yakuza girlboss things anyway, there were also parts where i feel like the characters change personalities ?? i mean its probably normal irl but idk i just feel like there were parts that didn't make sense to me (why that character is acting that way) overall i still love hana and ikkun's relationship, they're two idiots that are madly inlove with each other <33 i love their humour and how they act like best friends at times ^^ i wish we got to see more dating life since this mostly focused with the MCs being with other characters but its fine i still enjoyed it :> i love their domesticity esp seeing hana wear those cute aprons hehe it fits him so well >< the art's pretty too and as usual i love their chibis esp when hana's angry this was a good read !!

its probably been almost a year since i've read the prequel and i must say i did miss them waaa >< i'm so happy this had a sequel (i think there's a 3rd volume too so i can't wait to read that ><) i skimmed through the 1st volume to refresh my memory and from what i remember they're still the same bickering yet adorable couple~ though the plot here had more conflict regarding homophobia and doubts abt the relationship so it wasn't as light as the 1st volume :> some say that they were frustrated at chikashi bc he kept doubting or that he's acting immature but i mean it is his first relationship and having doubts are pretty normal esp when you're still in the early stages of your relationship so i understand why he was acting like that, but yes i do agree that it was a bit frustrating hehe i'm glad tomoaki didn't ever once think of letting him go :(( i'm not happy abt what he did when they fought (slight dubcon) but at least he apologized and he acted more mature afterwards :)) i'm glad that after having the conflict resolved, they communicated more ^^ mr. furuya will forever be the bestest boy >< he's literally their dad and guardian ㅠㅠ he's always ready to give advices to the both of them and you can really see how he treasures them individually and as a couple >< i'm so happy that he's there to guide and help them esp when they're still on their rocky path~ overall this was quite a realistic and wholesome read ^^ this focused more on their conflicts but i still got to see their adorable and domestic moments so i'm satisfied there's a volume 3 so i'm excited to see how much their relationship developed after this <33 the art style is still pretty hehe i love this type of art style this was a great read !!

okay i did not expect a separation arc omfg jwkshsjshd i mean not really separation arc but i just thought the 3rd volume would get back ok the lighter side since volume 2 focused on conflicts but damn i was surprised i mean i really love this, i feel like it had a mix of reality and fiction but what i love the most abt this is that they really gave a proper closure to us >< i'm happy that tomoaki never gave up on chikashi and even went with him to his parents just so that he can finally introduce himself and of course give reassurance <33 it is selfish for chikashi to assume those things but who are we to blame him :< i understand why had all those thoughts bc of the misunderstanding that is quite big so i get why he reacted that way~ i love how mr. furuya and their colleagues are as supportive as ever i just love the reassurances tomoaki gives :(( you can really feel how much he treasures and loves chikashi ㅠㅠ he never once thought of letting him go :< as for chikashi, tbh i don't think we ever saw him fully express his feelings for tomoaki which kind of feels unfair but i mean we can still see how much he loves tomoaki through his actions ^^ but yea that's probably one thing i'd like to add bc i was really waitinh for them to have that conversation and for chisaki to also give tomoaki some reassurance, but i still love him ♡ i'm happy that chikashi finally got to come out properly and even got to introduce the love of his life (╥﹏╥) i'm glad that they finally accepted him and are now in good terms >< overall i love this series icb it already ended :'(( i wanted more extras but i'm very happy and satisfied seeing how happy they are <33 the conflicts were quite annoying i mean conflicts will always be annoying, but i understand why they had those conflicts here so i wasn't that annoyed ^^ i really love their dynamic esp when chikashi becomes very clingy once he's tired :(( pls he's so adorable also i think i didn't see chikashi call tomoaki by a pet name ?? or maybe i just didn't notice it ?? anyway yea i really enjoyed this and the whole series ❣️ the art style is still pretty of course this was a great read !!

this was a pretty good sequel !! everything made much more sense esp with the brief timeline by the uploader (?) i said that i was kind of confused with the plot and everything that's happening in the first installment but it was all explained here so i'm pretty satisfied with that ^^ i came in knowing that kabu will have his red flag tendencies and all but i think it wasn't that bad ?? like if i were to compare him to the other yakuza MLs, i think he's one of the good ones :> its not gonna be realistic if he were to be such a nice person but he never r worded nirasawa (just that time when he first let go of him to try "forgetting" his feelings or whatever) but that doesn't mean i like the guy there's another sequel so i'm looking forward to that but i must say, his character development's quite good here :)) the plot's quite messy in the beginning but again it did make sense afterwards, i think this is one of the yakuza plots that i really liked ^^ of course there are still your typical tropes and arcs but i think i quite enjoyed the storytelling here :D it wasn't the frustrating type as well and it also had some angst & comedy here and there so i enjoyed it ^^ i just want nirasawa to be happy and be treated better pls the guy has been through so much i just want to see him live a happy life >< overall this was a pretty good sequel ^^ i enjoyed it even though its not really my go-to types of plot i think the author did a good job with the storyline :> i wish kabu would reciprocate the ilys though wjjdjhdhd i mean he did say it once in the extra from the first book but i wanna see him reassure nirasawa bc the guy keeps thinking that he doesn't mean anything to kabu :(( i think he did reassure him while they had angry sex on the extras but i kind of want to see more soft and domestic scenes from them so i hope there's stuff like that on the final sequel~ (though its probably impossible bc this is a yakuza genre lol) also kouki is a very confusing character lol idk if i like him or not anyway i think the art style got even prettier this time around !! i'm obsessed with it this was a good read !!

this was a nice sequel !! i think this is my fave out of the 3 installments bc i felt like the plot was more polished ^^ i feel like even though this had more angst/gore i think there were more sweet scenes with kabu and nirasawa :> ik that kabu loves nirasawa but i just want him to say ily hsjdjshdhsh but he did say it the the first volume and nirasawa just thought he took drugs or something so i guess i kind of understand for not saying it when he was awake anyway, i think the plot was quite nice :)) it was wrapped up in a very emotional yet sweet scene >< i'm glad that they finally get to be happy together~ i'm happy that kabi finally gave nirasawa na reassurances that he deserved <33 the extra was so funny and adorable >< i wish we got more extras here like the one is the 2nd installment but i was pretty satisfied ^^ i also got some domestic marriage life tease so i'm pretty happy abt that overall this book closed the series in a very nice and clean way !! everything became clear and there weren't any plot holes (imo) ^^ the couple had their happy ending too <33 not much red flags for kabu (but there are still some parts where he became slightly violent though ig bc he was grieving abt his father so that triggered it but still its abuse in a way) at least i got to see some character development and he finally accepted his feelings for nirasawa :D as for nirasawa, i'm very happy for him >< he finally gets his love reciprocated and ig they can have some peace of mind now that they killed shao chen :> but i think that's only for a short period of time bc they are still part of the yakuza with kabu being the overall leader of the org so i just hope they'll be okay~ also i just love how supportive their members are ^^ the art style is gorgeous again, very obsessed this was a nice read !!
