I finished reading this manga through the Facebook translations and have to say, the story stayed interesting throughout. The ending gave me what I needed although I'm a little sad for Ren's dad. I do wish Sensei provided another chapter or two just to settle the story more firmly but overall it's a read I thoroughly enjoyed.

Mauri to Ryuu

Ongoing | Moto Haruhira,Moto Haruko | 2013 released

After re-reading, I'm taking my rating down a star. It still puts it as enjoyable, but I think I overlooked a lot the first time. The manga is about wandering gods, who change to the form of the person they fall in love with. What takes it down a star for me was SPOILER: The way rape was handled in the first story. It was treated as if it couldn't be helped because there were no women in the town. So, of course, men should be allowed to rape people. What else are they going to do? Not have sex? And the dragon's response to this would have been perfect...except it seems that rape would have been excusable if Mauri didn't belong to him. I can tolerate rape in manga if it serves a purpose. With this story, it's pointless. Yeah. Was really unimpressed with that. Very gross mangaka-san. I also think they could have made a better story for the black dragon. I didn't feel much connection with them and I think with a bit of tweaking it could have been better. I'd recommend this for people who like the Supernatural tag and cute characters. Warning for: Rape (not by seme), mpreg, and characters that look young even though their ages aren't stated.

I'm really enjoying this manhua. It has its flaws. The one that affects the story the most is surprisingly the backgrounds. At times the simplistic backgrounds take you out of the actions and make the emotion of the scene fall flat. The positioning of characters could also use a little work, I think it's a shading issue. The story and characters make up for it. First, character design is very good. Characters look different, feel different and are (usually) consistent. The main character has some issues I'm hoping will be resolved in time (his personality has jumped tracks a lot and I'm hoping it comes together eventually). The story is interesting, easy to follow and has some good world-building behind it. The way that's introduced is easy to digest. I'd warn for possible rape - Su Zhao's little brother is currently indicated to have been raped but it doesn't really fit with the character type of the rapist so I'm still not sure if that's what happened. I'd also warn for what I'm going to start calling 'webtoon syndrome'. Where chapters are short, break at odd places where it doesn't make sense, and are really best read when the series is done.

INCOMPLETE, NO TRANSLATOR It's a cute manga. The foxes have unfortunately very stereotypical, almost comically stereotypical seme/uke personalities. But it's still a cute manga.
