I was a fool to put this off for so long. An extremely unique plot where things that are named take living form. Sousuke is a musician who plays the violin but refuses to name his instruments after a harrowing incident involving his cat/violin in his childhood. Will Ga, an ownerless and temporarily nameless violin who takes human form, be able to change his mind? Oh my goodness. This is just incredible. First of all, the plot and world building are amazing. The character design and back stories are excellent. The art. The goddamn art. Is exquisite. 5!

This is too sad for me.

I feel like the backstory/ prequel's potentially problematic, but as a standalone, this seems to be a surprisingly problem free surprise mpreg manga? Weird, but I don't hate that. 4.5

Oh, shiiit. I feel like he's gonna break my guy's heart. I hope not. The sex is, scorching, really. I haven't seen smut done this well in ages. Not since Walk on Water/ Sign/ On or Off

Ch 8. Premise is hella weird but characters are cute. 4.55

Shiit. This one's so difficult. Will the laws change? This is so degrading and discriminatory, gosh

Yeo-dam has been imprisoned by the increasingly obsessed emperor and made to serve in his bed, despite how Yeo-dam would have gone along with him of his free will, had he only been asked. After an assassination attempt, Yeo-dam foolishly gives up his life in exchange for the Jin emperor's and is sent back to the past by the deity he worships. Can he avoid the mistakes of last time? It's good, but the emperor was really a monster, huh. It's amazing to me that their interactions in their childhood the second time around could change their lives and his personality this much. I'm glad for it, but the man really was insane. God. Anyway, I enjoyed the premise and the characters. The bit with the kid is less endearing than I had hoped. I had hoped the Emperor would come to love him. But no matter, this was still very good. 4.85

Mm. Times are hard and Demon King Hel finds himself a job at the sex shop managed by a mysterious human. When you go in, I think you really need to be aware that all this is, is crack. There's no sincerity and you really shouldn't be expecting plot or depth. That way, maybe you could enjoy it. I did like that Hel so emphatically and repeatedly stated that he didn't think being the bottom made him less dignified or worthy of respect, though.But overall, waste of my time. 4.2

The plot is utterly fascinating. But the length leaves much to be desired. It feels like this will probably still be going 10 years from now. Because we've reached the 90s with so much left to be resolved. Ch 96

It's very good, and draws you in very well, for a story about cops. I loved Dex, he's genuinely such a good person, if a bit of a pain in the ass. Much Jim Kirk energy. The rest of them, including Sloane are also not bad, but their cop bullshit was grating, especially in the beginning. Other than that, superb plot, excellent twist, and truly well paced storytelling. 4.9
