3 ️️️ Nov 14 2024 ️ Nice art ️ Developed characters ️ Funny/cute interactions ️ Story gimmick relies heavily on non-con A quick and amusing read with a nice balance of smut to interaction ratio. The supernatural element / gimmick was fun. However the shift into intimacy was very abrupt and underdeveloped. Like why would you try that instead of waiting one day even?? Why would you think that would solve it? It all just makes the ML rather scummy, and had me suspecting he knew more about the spell than he let on. Understanding how the spell works, the many moemtns of “you cant just DO THAT, noo” i felt and the unfortunate non-con aspects made sense why it had to be that way. But again, the author set the rules for the spell, and I wish they did so in a way that enabled the bickering and shift in relationship while still having them give consent for the sexual parts. The art is nice and they have cute and funny moments and the characters felt fleshed out nicely for a 6 episode story. Their voices and mannerisms made them very real! An enjoyable read, I just really wish BL/Yaoi authors would move away from non-con.

28/DEC/2024 Ch.18 They’re dumbasses but funny and heartwarming. Lots of goofiness that made for a fun binge. Waiting for more… Childhood friend / love triangle element is a bit exhausted for a story - but I get how it pushes the theme that you need to voice your feelings and try or you might miss out. Their relationships do contrast in a way I don’t hate though. Him leaving, writing his feelings into lyrics he doesn’t tell her, gaining status, then appearing and hoping to win her over is (seemingly) too late VS words of affirmation and growing together being (seemingly) successful - is a message i don’t hate. It’s also less irritating since Gaku admires him and faces him head on instead of the overdone jealous pity parties readers are use to. If she starts having feelings for both or dumb drama starts I’ll be disappointed though.
