Genboxxy's manga / #detective(7)

I am speechless. Another instant fave, suspense and romance, drama and angst all in just the right place. Great plot execution, basically a reverse of irl situation where people fantasize about omegaverse, this one has a beta who fantasize about a world without omegaverse. Really, really, really goooood and the character's dynamic and relationship progress was superb wooooooh.

It's a different approach from the prequel, it's not episodic and only focuses on 1 case throughout the story. There's not much fluffiness here but the relationship between the couple was strong enough prior to the romance that even though their realization, specially the seme, was abrupt, it still seemed like a smooth transition. They also do be reminding me of Yuki and his ex from sensei's other work, Yuki and Matsu, only the hairstyles are different. I like this too though I do think there are certain loopholes that were swept under the rug for this; like the fact that the uke bleeds out/retains the physical manifestation of the victims he's exposed to so long as their case is not resolved, like how would it work though? when he was a kid, he was exposed to someone being murdered (?) how did that stop? and throughout the years, it can't be that every victim he encountered had their cases solved, and if not, wouldn't he already bled out to death long before he even reached his adolescence. Also I don't get much if the touching thing is a good thing, like the manifestation stops when he's touched, it also prevents him from manifesting if he's being touched prior to his contact with the victim, so that's good right, but then, touching also halts the manifestation and gets him stuck in that state unless the case gets solved? it's kinda confusing, I just chuck it off to it being fiction, and a supernatural one at that. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed it, great action scenes and the art style never failed.

4/5 kinda wonky at times like the character's drives and plot progression, but still good I guess, I like the art style and the dynamic between characters. Uke appears perfect but has stalker tendencies, I don't get why he wanted to get revenge on the seme in the first place, was it because of him saying he would sleep with him if he makes him fall in love? Like that wasn't even said in a bad way, more of a banter sort, plus the seme literally attacked the uke's father in his stead for insulting his son, was that also a reason to take revenge? The seme too is kinda dumb? not really dumb, but close to it, coz even when he suspects the uke is using him, he still wouldn't budge and would opt to be blinded just because it's the uke, it might be romantic, but it's also stupid. Also for a detective story, the unfolding of secrets and revelations were also meh, there was no clicking moment nor a shock factor, just you know, it's part of the plot so you read it.

so cute, so good. I really like the chemistry between both, the uke is clingy and the seme is possessive but unlike others with this trait, that personality is ingrained with some actual backstory that makes actual sense. I love this. I would love to read more. Btw, not really supernatural despite the animal theme (?) for MCs, tho there's some slight implications here and there.
