For those who may not notice, “Sadistic Beauty” came out during the time when people(/women) started to speak out about their unequal treatments or sexual assaults in work places. For example, like in Harvey Weinstein case or Johnny Depp case. Also “Fifty Shades of Gray” was in its height of popularity. So this series got a lot of attention on LezhinComics platform as it was the very first comic of its femdom genre and most importantly, it depicted a female character dealing with actual real life problems. Then it went on hiatus for approximately 3 or so years. People who followed the series from the very start were very supportive of the creator’s decision and waited patiently until the contract with Lezhin expired. When the series came back, it completely changed. Like in Johnny Depp case, but instead of female abuser, they ended up getting the female rapist. So, yes, they actually felt cheated. For one, they didn’t come here JUST for smut scenes.

This manga had such a good story and loved the major character development of several characters. It really reminded me of Red River which I also loved. There’s just enough romance to keep you going but not so much where it drowns out the main plot. The only thing I wish was different was more epilogue chapters about mc and ml being together (▰˘◡˘▰)
