The “Flow” In Flower
This author makes really nice, affectionate work. Gloomy stalker boy falls for model. Very pretty drawings. Love to reread for fluff and smut! Only thing I dont like is how the author makes being suicidal a quirk. Like, kinda in bad taste.. But I can look past it. Everything else, wonderful

Read this before That was something... That was like half good half bad.. Like this author has a cute art style, but is kinda sadistic? (Your cute art does not fool me, ma'am. You CRAZY!) Poor sweet boy just keeps getting used & is miserable. It's like hurt / comfort but mostly angst. & You can tell author liked the assault scenes, they went on way longer than necessary. I'm not trying to shame if that's what she's into (we're all adults and this is fiction), but I was just surprised it was THIS kind of manga. But from a standpoint where I'm actually trying to enjoy the story, the context for them is really SAD & CREEPY. Again, I can totally understand if the author just wanted to draw the cute uke in BDSM scenes (because I liked them too) but story was so sad. One half of my brain was fighting the other while reading those.. Here's what I liked: Cute uke character, the way he's drawn, his sweet and gentle personality, I love the comforting relationship with "cream soda" guy. He has a prickly personality but is actually kind and caring towards him and really into the uke. I liked the uke & the BDSM play, but again, the context of what was actually going on in the story was really sad and creepy. What I don't like: all the creepy rape s*** at the expense of the uke. Yeah, "misery smut", as i like to call it, is not my taste. Not shaming anyone else into it, it's just not my cup of tea and is quite upsetting to read, so rather than being adventurous like before, I'd like to stay clear from it from now on. But I signed up for this I knew what I was getting into. I read this before on mrm. But I read it because the story is compelling because I really do bond with the UK character and I just want to see him be happy with cream soda guy. Also the way he's drawn is so pretty. *sweat* Thank God this is over. I liked it but also concerned for characters. Uke is toooo cute & seductive!!!

7/27/22:MC is a priest who takes care of a temple which houses all the animal spirits of the legendary zodiac. Each month of the year, a different animal takes over his body (That's side lore i thought was cool). Anyways, the cat spirit seeks refuge and the priest falls in love with the gaurdian of the cat spirit. He's a cute boy who has cat powers. I left off on chapter 3

7/27/22: So I love this author and her work. Her art style is always lovely and the characters always end up being in really cute, loving relationships with steamy sex scenes. This was about how two childhood friends go from sex friends to finding out they're obsessed with each other and being in a relationship. Seme was an asshole. Like, he came around eventually, but he kept denying feelings for his partner and wanted to stay sex friends because of his parents misinterpreted command for him to not get in a relationship, which I thought was a weird reason.. I thought that was a mean thing to do to the love MC who held feelings for so long. Also, seme liked uke's..soft penis, so he didn't like it when he got hard at times. Like wow, selfish.. So that bothered me, but overall besides the kinda weird stuff, this aithor's work is enjoyable.

This is so unique and wonderful!! 7/30/22. 2014. Set in a fantasy land that somewhat parodies the jrpg hero storylines, we have a Demon Lord who spends his immortal life being prejudiced and unfairly hated by humans, constantly fighting them and their "heroes" off on their quests to "slay" him. Many come and go, but one day a "hero" meets him who is kind, innocent and DOESNT want to hurt him. Rather he needs a place to stay and would like to live with him! This is beautiful, creative, unique and original. Both in writing, characters and art. We've got a villain who is assigned the "villain" role but really isn't bad at all. He is misunderstood, angsty charatcer. Poor him! Especially those scenes which show off his immortality.. He doesn't die, so whenever the "heroes" come and tear him to pieces, all his splattered body parts slowly find their way back and regenerate (its a bit of body horror). Lord I beg of you, please let there be more.... I'm pretty sure with that last chapter, there is meant to be more. At the very least, this book will be published soon! & I am buying it!!!
