ojisan enthusiast's manga / #4 stars(51)

i’m on vol 3 ch 5 !! really cute and the art is so pretty ~~~ it’s the kind that i’ll get bored of after they get together though

ch 39 ok i LOVED the first half then it became very angsty and full of drama which i didnt mind. i did, however, began disliking the mc. he slowly became so fucking annoying and it didn’t help that he didn’t develop AT ALL and everyone did everything for him. All right K secret is another victim of being rush because it was a very very exciting story I know for a fact that I adored it I really like that the seme is very possessive but outside of that there are some things that suck such as The bottom was a very very Big push over it is honestly really annoying and the ending was also very whack because they gave this impression that others this huge world the other side of vampires this this leader theres just a society of vampires And then everything was solved after the top get injection and they have sex and that’s it like they’re not gonna tell us anything more then I’m gonna give us more explanation about what’s going to happen after it’s weak PS I hate the second couple

it’s very sad because the ending isn’t happy at all, althought that’s what it looks like. the main character falls so hard into depression and develops something akin to stockholm syndrome and loses himself to the thing making him miserable. this is not a happy story and the ending is good, albeit frustrating/a bad end. you think it is, but the cycle continues. this one of those rare bl mangas that doesn’t actually romanticize incest and shows it as being disgusting and psychologically damaging.

Oh man. I have a lot to say. In the beginning, I had expected to drop this. The artstyle and general vibe reminded me of late 90s - early 2000s yaoi mangas. Which it was actually very similar to. i didn’t even realize this wasn’t a super old manga and a tappytoon series until later on. i carried on, mostly because i adore arabian-esque stories. they often focus on the sultan and their lover. i’m weak for rich semes. anyways. the beginning was pretty weak. the premise is interesting — the pure, real definition of enemies to lovers. not the high school rivalry type but the type where blood has been spilled. there are times where i can’t help but think “man this is stockholm”. it eventually starts getting pretty good, but not enough for me to curl my toes. it’s pretty ok, plot-oriented. its funny that the author thinks i give a shit about the second couple, king and caesar. thankfully, they didn’t really get much screen time. theyre fucking annoying LOL side note: the king looks like a mixture of camio from devils and realist + raichi from dna. idk why HAHA the execution is pretty fucking wack ngl there were a lot of times where i just skimmed or skip a chapter bc it was boring to me. a lot of things should have been explained more. there were also a lot of times where after the big arc has finished that i’d be like “damn rlly wanna drop” until another problem occurs. the thing is, i love their dynamic. prideful, powerful man who does only what he wants meets a soft person who becomes his only joy and motivation of living. i just disliked the way the author portrayed it. the angst and drama itself, however, is a completely different story. it is absolutely excellent and if the rest of the story wasnt so weak in contrast, i wouldve given this five stars. i enjoyed it! maybe i’ll reread it one day, but it isn’t one of those stories where i have the instant urge to relive it. the ending was so soft

this was cute!!! i wanted more bc their dynamic was fun and i think theres more fun things to explore but it didn’t feel lacking

this is great lmao but some points were confusing the pacing in some panels are too fast

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH i just wish it was longer bc there was SOOOO much more potential and also that there was more jealousy scenes but other than that it’s perfect

this is v cute there isnt anything bad w it i just hope it had more angst and jealousy bc it had sm potential. to be more but its still good anyways

lol i like this a lot for some reason

CURRENTLY ON CH 53 warning; this depicts rape explicitly, and not in a romanticized fashion. it made me feel like shit. to start with: i really had different expectations for this. i didnt think it was gonna be this mature and dark and i guess because my expectations were just very different, i didn’t enjoy it so much when it came to the angsty s parts. the thing is, everyone is so attractive but thats honestly the only thing that really keeps me attached. if they looked otherwise, i probably will rate this really low. the storytelling is good! you can feel the author’s passion but i just... it’s different. because expectations suck. OK update I am writing this from the future and buy the future and after I wrote my initial comment The thing is this series is beautifully written it’s seamless makes sense and it feels like a movie and I love that the only thing that he didn’t like is that it was against my expectations but honestly it was more of me being upset by that than me actually thinking that the series sucks because it doesn’t it’s good the art is wonderful I was talking shit When I said that other than that I wouldn’t like it I wouldn’t say it’s in my favorites though, But I will say that it is one of the best written and most passion filled BL series in a while.
