Hell yeah! This is the couple I’m seriously rooting for. The balance of maturity and immaturity. I am in it for the times Hibiya remains caring and silently imposing himself on Sugiwara. Also, in contrast to the first story, Sugiwara is cuter here and has less of a sharp tongue. I’m glad that Tsutsumi doesn’t cause that much of a problem and is instead matched to Kurata’s idiotic honesty. I hope he gets back to art, too! Man, it’s so fulfilling to read this

If you really want your lover to be happy, respect their decisions, okay? Dont fucking impose your own idea of making them happy because you’re just hurting them! If they choose you, hold on to that. Dont fucking break your promise with this self-pitying thoughts that theyll be happier with someone else. Cause fuck you! That’s just you hurting them, breaking their trust, and belittling their love for you! EDIT: I'm just gonna detach myself from all the feels I felt from this because Kaoro's characterization apparently doesn't even cohere to his basic character. He FUCKING KNOWS how the string works based on the first story, but here, he is written as some insecure bitch who just needlessly hurts his partner.

Cool! The way the uke loves the seme in his own way is admirable. He teases him but never do anything to actually disrespect him or humiliate him. The seme is so innocently cute but never forces the uke into anything that wouldve hurt him. Well, maybe their first time was too burdensome on the uke’s body, but the uke’s question if he satisfied the seme is so adorable!

Satisfying even until the end. It’s funny how even until the end, the vampire is held ‘hostage’ by the devil. Be it his blood or his soul, just like the title. Even so, the author made it that the devil is loyal and not some sort of manipulative bastard who keeps undermining his lover (even if it somehow looks like that). God be damned, that bittersweet end made the whole experience even better! This manhua really fleshed how vile humans can be and yet how valuable they are to demons

Sexy and sensual! It just makes the main couple’s connection more alluring. It’s nice that this sister-brother relationship is very healthy and supportive. I’m still a little curious about Masa’s background but seeing that they are happy with each other, I’ll let it slide. Also, their friend’s unexpected position in bed is so unexpected but expected at the same time. He’s so masculine HAHAHA. I wish Miyoshi is happier now.

Darn it! This universe of Minore no Te (and the three more stories line up to it) really highlights that masculine aura. I mean, having read most of Beriko-sensei’s works, their good with highlighting that masculinity. The balanced assertiveness and dominance. That atmosphere of reliability and solid foundation. Even the natural weaknesses that would seem non-masculine or wimpy is emphasize to bring out the most of their character development. Gahhh so much love for this, too!

Grr! The level of sensuality is just bursting through the roof! Nezomi x Tatsuya just gives you that ideal attachment and relationship. Also the way Tatsuya just make love with Nozomi and blatantly show off to Rogi —! And how Nozomi lived his life in trauma but with the purpose of being both the ideal man and woman in Tatsuya’s eyes. Unforgettable, this one! UNBEATABLE!

Snacks! The one shots are adorable and though it leaves me wanting more, it doesn’t leave me hanging. It’s not as sensual nor that different to each other in terms of premise, but they’re all refreshing to me nonetheless.

A sadist and an airhead that actually meet halfway?? A healthy and positive relationship where the couple pull each other for the better?? A beautifully drawn story where the seme isn’t just a whimsical egoist who leads the uke around but actually wholeheartedly loves his partner?? An uke who intentionally makes the seme happy?? This is it. The ideal relationship where both partners give as much as they receive instead of hurting their partner when they’re insecure.

The background case could be confusing but it'll make sense in the end (even if it kinda takes a while to process). The art really makes every panel mesmerizing, especially when these horny dogs devour each other. From what I've been used to with politics, it doesnt really go for the "corrupt", "mafia-like violence", and other typical ways to show that politicians are pigs. This one focuses more on taking the rug off of their feet and taking their place kind of ambition.
