4/5 -> 3/5! Though I must say that this is like a 6.6/10 so it's like.. a 3.3/5 lol
First of all, the chapters are LONG, which is a good thing. The art is very beautiful and the smut also looks great. The reason I'm not rating this with 5 stars is that it's a lot at once with missing parts. In chapter one there's definitely a LOT happening already and if all of that happened more slowly with more plot in between I would've surely liked it more. It's not necessarily a bad thing that this story was moving fast but I would've loved to learn more about the characters themselves, especially the bodyguard and his life, which we eventually also don't learn much about, before being thrown into the story like that. In this case it feels like we haven't fully gotten to know their personalities though a lot of time is being covered in this manga.
Another thing is that in e.g. just chapter one, when I hadn't even fully grasped their feelings towards each other yet, suddenly all those dramatic things happened including them literally catching bullets for each other already?? And the mafia got involved as well? So yeahhh that could've happened more slow paced and the chapters could've been divided a bit more but other than that? I was a bit confused sometimes and there are definitely plot holes but overall this was pretty good :) The art in general, the chapter length and how nice everyone's relationships were (Ignoring the mafia part they all had nice friendships and no dramatic fake friends or something) convinced me that this was a good read! And though the trauma of the Burlesque was also explained very short and sudden, the bodyguards' reaction was sweet so that was nice I think.. though that was SUDDEN sudden and could've also been more detailed but that's just personal preference again
