Mori no Koe
I didn’t like the doctors choice in how to deal with wanting his demon, but as the stories progressed then intermingled it became easier to look past. It’s not a good world for mixed relationships, there are plenty of obstacles to overcome, but it is really lovely overall.
Jigoku Meguri
Death, penance, reincarnations; this story was an intricate weave of love and loss and second chances that was strangely enjoyable. This is no easy journey to love, but the connections are strong enough to be seen as inevitable soul bonding.
Tsuki no Hikari ni Terasarete
Three simple little oneshots,nothing groundbreaking or awesome but a good way to pass some time.
Ichigo no Yume - Shimatsuya Risuke no Kaii Jikenchou
I loved this story for many reasons. It’s a historical yaoi (more shounen-ai really) that isn’t a tragic story. It had interesting MCs that made an enjoyable couple to get to know. There were chilling moments with the demon lore woven into the story but nothing that was over the top. The pacing of the stories and romance seemed effortless. My only complaint is that the mangaka was not given enough pages to do justice to the Nekomata story. That was really sad because it was the most interesting demon for me
Jappa No Amane
The story was confusing at times. I think it was because some of the characters lacked adequate introduction or explanation as to what they were and others had too much repetitive detail. Apart from these inconsistencies and the times the pacing was too fast, the concept was interesting and the story was overall fun to read.
Harlem Beat Wa Yoake Made
A good fun and entertaining story about friendship.
I'll Never Moan for You!!
Trigger warning: Rape and dub con, degradation/ humiliation play If you are in the mood for smut then these are the short stories for you. From the overwhelming dominance of an experienced older voice actor over the top rating yet spoiled brat voice actor that changes his role forever, to a teacher whose expertise with sex toys is about to be challenged, to a new S&M relationship that is finding its boundaries, to 2 demon friends about to enter the most forbidden relationship, these stories are full of kink and smut filled MM dynamics.
Kanata Kara
An epic romantic adventure graphic novel that was totally addictive. Japanese high school student Noriko transmigrated to a fantasy world where the first person she meets is Izark, a serious and powerful young man who seemed ready to let her follow his lead. In a world of monsters and a mysterious prophecy, Noriko and Izark travel together and fall in love while the legend of The Awakening and The Sky Demon looms. No more spoilers, just read this wonderful story where the FMC is an ordinary girl who is neither a clinging damsel in distress nor an overpowered Mary Sue. She musters her courage to help where she can and is incredibly loyal and supportive of Izark. That warrior in turn treasures her and it’s so sweet how close the two are. This is an older story written around 1990’s - 2000’s, so the art style is (naturally) older, but it is still cute (especially the MCs) and it’s balanced by the plot which was rich and colourful.
