ginhiji enthusiast's manga / #3 stars(6)

dynamic: cunning vampire & reluctant bloodbank honestly enjoyed this. it’s very short and uneventful, but it was pretty sweet!

same old, same old. generic 2000s ish. the akuma series isn’t really anything special, i just like jealousy scenes.

for some reason, i rated this 5 and even added it to my favorites during my initial reason. it’s disappointing because honestly, it wasn’t all that. the start is slow and nothing exciting really happens at all. it’s not bad but it’s kinda mediocre. the top is really handsome though. the clothes bothered me so i was glad when i saw him dress well for once. even though the whole story is fictional, he felt like a kdrama male lead in a manga if that makes sense. quite the romantic! the uke’s ex-girlfriend was annoying. i wanted her to face further consequences. overall, it’s ok. a 3 at best. nothing to remember. wish the smut was more explicit.

to start of with: i’ve read this manga a lot and it’s been years since i first read it so honestly, the magic is completely gone. if i were reading this for the first time again, i would like it a lot. i remember being so satisfied and squirmy over the jealousy scenes. now though? not so much. i found myself just skinming. the uke’s a little boring and eyeroll-worthy. the jealousy scene has been too overplayed in my head. it’s just really boring now. it’s one of the most generic “mean seme is mean to uke who likes him till uke is with someone else” bl.so if you’re into that, eat your heart out

︎ seme is a yandere. a little lofty, but still insane. ✑ strong-willed uke who never really gives in. i enjoyed this! the sex scenes are few but despite the art not being my cup of tee, man were they hot.

(initial) tags only refer to 2nd couple let's start off with I GENUINELY DID NOT CARE FOR THE MAIN COUPLE OF SEASON 1 AKA RUM AND GINGER. holy shit. i could not stand them. they aren't actually bad. i'm just really not interested in their dynamic. maybe if ginger was the bottom, i'd care. fuck the every childhood friends pinning trope bro unless they're funny/rivals HOWEVER- THE SECOND COUPLE I LIKE. mon and mananan u r my angels season 2 focused on mon and mananan but it was rlly super dramatic and i was kinda disappointed haha i wish these 2 got together slower it was v fast and i think thats what made s2 kinda lame
