catboys are ruining my life's manga / #Adventure(2)

Ianna is a beautiful red-head swordswoman who was treated poorly by those around her. Around the age of 15, she left the estate she was living at and went to become a swordswoman, joining the 1rst prince of the neighboring country, Ianna dies at his hands and reincarnates back to when she lived at the estate. The art is full-colored and really beautiful, our MC is a really strong female lead. I would like for the manna and magic to be explained a bit more (since in every universe manna and magic work different). Instantly, the author does a great job to want to read more about what happens to Ianna. Do recommend.

SUMMARY: Yokai (supernatural entities and spirits in japanese folklore) exorcist, Izumo saves a child, Ryuta from a snake yokai. Izumo gets poisoned by the snake while trying to save Ryuta, and Ryuta ends up taking care of Izumo for a few days. Before leaving, Izumo promises to return and adventure with Ryuta. Although Izumo never comes back, Ryuta still remembers about the promise from years ago. To Ryuta's luck, Izumo comes back to the village. According to Izumo, he doesn't remember making the promise, but that still won't stop Ryuta from adventuring with Izumo. **** REVIEW (may contain spoilers): LENGTH: Kinda short, its five chapters, and they are kind of fast paced. I honestly wished that it was a bit longer, it would length out the characters more, and I honestly would love to see them grow closer, as they grow close way too fast, and it really doesn't make sense because of Izumo's personality. Also, the story mentions that they go in more adventures, and I would like to see that. At the end Izumo becomes a teacher (?) after losing his powers. I would like to see them interact more after the event, and I would like to also see Izumo kinda struggle with this new life without his exorcist powers. Honestly I would like this to be a little bit longer to flesh things out more, but its still good as a short read. ART: The art is VERY pretty. I liked it a lot. It's also in black and white, which I personally don't mind, but if you don't like that, then here's your warning (lol). CHARACTERS: I liked the characters a lot! Everyone was memorable, and a few interactions made me laugh (mainly between the fox yokai and everyone else lmao). Although I do wish we got a bit more of their personalities and stuff fleshed out. FINAL SCORE: 4. I gave this a four because it was very decent, however it wasn't really anything too great, and again with the fleshing out plot, world, and characters, I would have loved to see this world and characters more fleshed out. As a short read it doesn't hold too much value and is kind of forgettable (sad), but if it was even slightly longer (10 chapters at least), I would have probably given it a higher rating. 4 stars is still good, especially with how strict I am in ratings lol **** CONCLUSION: This is a good read! If you are looking for a cute short-story to read, I'd recommend this.
