Emily159's manga / #Animal Characteristics(17)

This was really good. Mc1’s mom was a bitch until chapter 36 or 37. Mc2 was so sweet and such a green flag I love him. There was definitely angst and also misunderstandings but all’s well that ends well. Slow burn. It’s a fake-relationship-turned-real trope but yet they fucked all the time while it still being fake, and mc1 even mentioned “friends with benefits”, hence the tag. Actually felt bad for mc3 bc he was hired to date mc1 without mc1’s knowledge (of him being hired to do so) and then ended up actually wanting to be with him. But by that point it was too late and mc1 already liked mc2. I really hope mc2’s old tutor ends up with mc3. Sad there won’t be mpreg in this story. Also worried about what season two might entail since they get married in the last chapter of season 1 (chapter 38). Don’t know when season two will start so I guess I’ll just have to be on the lookout for it. Read: Monday, May 15th, 2023 - Tuesday, May 16th, 2023.

This was soooo good omg. Knew I’d love this story just from the description and I was right!! Mc1 is a normal college student and mc2 is a cat who turns into a human with cat ears and tail when he kisses mc1. Mc1’s uncle fell in love with a cat as well but the cat sadly died. It makes it so that the uncle first disapproves of their relationship and then when he finally accepts it, mc2’s best friend turns human as well. The uncle knows the best friend has feelings for him so he starts being cold to him. Everything was happy for awhile but around chapter 50 mc2 starts wanting to go outside and live a life instead of staying at home waiting for mc1 all day. In the latest chapter, 57, mc1 and mc2 have an argument and mc1 acts like a child. Slaps him when mc2 tries to touch him and then runs away again. End of the chapter shows mc2 in cat form showing up at the uncle’s place all sad. Mc1 is definitely being unreasonable but I hope he gets his head out of his ass soon. Really really REALLY loved this story. Can’t wait for more!! Read: Monday, May 15th, 2023.

Read later. Added: Tuesday, January 16th, 2024.

Read later tonight please. Have to shower and get ready to go out to eat. Added: Friday, March 22nd, 2024. Read later that same day. Loved how quickly the misunderstandings were cleared up (there were a lot and most of them are funny). Stopped at season 2. Didn’t read it because it’s a diff couple. This was really good.

Read?? Edit: read on Thursday, January 16th, 2025. This was actually really good. Seme’s personality is weird though. Kinda like him, kinda don’t. Mc1 is funny but kinda annoying at times. It makes them feel fleshed out with their own personalities and flaws. Thank god mc2 was just joking when he said he’d eat his own child *sobs in relief*. I would’ve seriously hated him if he wasn’t joking cuz wtf. Season 2 started recently so I’m glad I don’t have to wait a long time. Mc2 is a great demon (probably one of the top 10 demons) meanwhile mc1 is a half-demon (lower on the totem pole than lowest demons). Mc2 is a tease but not outrightly so. It’s really funny. Looking forward to their relationship progressing and mc2 eventually realizing he has feelings for him. Rn he only thinks mc1 is cute and fun to tease. Only 30 chapters are out so far.

Translations are iffy but still legible, though some parts were kinda difficult to understand. Mc1 and mc2 got together kinda out of convenience at first (I think?) cuz they could satisfy each other's sexual needs. Kinda childhood friends but not really cuz they knew each other in high school. Mc3 is mc1's coworker and he's in love with mc1. Thought he'd be an obstacle but he fr loved mc1 enough to just want him to be happy even though it wasn't with him. Mc4 was the obstacle and POS I hate him so much. Mc4 knew mc2 from high school as well. Happened to appear at mc1's company (where mc2 was working at the time). Walked in on mc1 and mc2 sleeping together and decided to fuck up their relationship and tried to ruin mc1's life. Gave mc2 rut inducers to force him to go out of his mind so he could sleep with mc2. Mc3 showed up, stopped it from happening, then accused mc2 of not being able to keep it in his pants. Threatened mc2 to stay away from mc1 unless mc2 wanted mc1 to find out he slept with mc4. Never followed through though so whatever. Mc4 also stole the photo mc1 took of mc2 in college (which I assume mc4 still has). Mc4 tried to get mc3 to join him in his plan to split up mc1 and mc2. Mc3 refused. Mc4 then decided it would be okay to steal mc1's project proposal and turn it in as his own. Plan was foiled so he got kicked out and fired. Mc4 then confronted mc1 and played victim, blaming mc1 for everything. Mc1 and mc2 made up, and readers find out that apparently mc2 had a foggy memory so he thinks his rut just came out of the blue instead of being drugged. Never got justice for that cuz he genuinely doesn't even remember he was drugged even though he knew he was at the time he got stabbed with the rut inducer. Mc2 ends up going back to his company now that the project proposal was finished and the day after mc1 calls him crying saying he misses him and needed to see his face cuz his voice wasn't enough, mc2 miraculously comes back to mc1's company. Mc1 kisses him in front of everyone so they become an office couple. Wish we could've seen it tho. The extra chapter was so short and was very unfulfilling. If an official version ever comes out, definitely reread this. Read: Tuesday, July 2nd, 2024.
