Outcasts Bound by Fate

Complete | TOBI Washio | 2022 released

Last read ch 6. Oooh interesting! A supernatural story by tobi washio huh? I'm excited for this one name on MAL is Enishi Majiwaru Haguremono

Rajou Koidzukiyo

Complete | Saku Hiro | 2000 released

Uke is an exorcist who specializes in barriers. He takes on a long job repairing the barrier of demon brothel and meets a beautiful demon whose history is tied to the uke's ancestors. They wind up making a pact and of course falling in love. Wont lie, that ending was very unsatisfying. Bittersweet and unsatisfying for me. Also... This needs like... Three more volumes to unpack everything they hinted at. I want to see more of Kon in the human world and the struggles he faces there. I wanna see more of him interacting with other demons, not just Shiki. I wanna see the exorcist side and how the dad handles having an outcast son. I wanna see more details about Shiki's past and literally anything more about Shuten Douji. I was hoping there would be way more of a mystery to unravel. There was so much potential. I kinda would've liked this more if there hadn't been so many hints to something more. 7/10? 6/10?

I'll be honest, I thought something more would happen given the story had like... curses and fish spirits and spirit mediums, but it was kinda... standard? Idk a little disappointed in the supernatural element because this felt like a unique yokai type story. Mm 4/10 for the disappointment
