Shiro to Tsubaki
I love how this manga sets up this world full of monsters and shared a story that touched on both ends of the spectrum. Tsubaki is really just an adorable incubus who doesn’t want to be a burden to anyone, and Shiro has to deal with his familial hierarchy while maintaining his relationship - though I wish he had a little more to him other than “I don’t care uhhh I’m in love.” I wasn’t fond of Akira at first, but he slowly developed in my mind, only acting the way he does because of his love for Botan! Akita being physical with Tsubaki is just a result of sex being all he knows as “love” and affection for Tsubaki, but he learns towards Ch 6 to just let him be free. As for the other supporting cast, they were all unique and very fun well rounded characters not meant for fodder but had a purpose as instigators. It’s so easy for authors to write their characters in a void but that was not the case here. I wanted more info on the demon world, but this manga told its story well and I look forward to the conclusion!
Nagi-kun and Hayasaki-kun
Despite the simple story - I really love this manga. Nagi’s is hot-headed and always bothered, but Hayasaki is slow-mannered yet direct (I was convinced he was autistic for a second). The ending really patched things up for these two but I want more Hayasaki perspective!! Seeing Nagi’s insecurity was really cool tho. I bought the book for myself not to long ago.
