start: 10/07/19 up: 10/07/19 ~ ch 1

start/fin: 11/26/19 Ending seems too rushed. Wanted to see more about the modern life... But I appreciate how the mangaka didn't show Haru actually servicing customers. Knowing it already hurts, so it would've been more painful to see what she had to endure and how many other men had their way on her... The concept of their time slip is pretty cool, but would've been cooler if expounded. So basically, they time slipped to Edo Period w/ 4-yr difference, but when they "died" in the fire, they didn't return together. They came back to the days their actual accident happened, meaning there's also a 4-yr difference. The vague part is how Shouhei actually found Haru's address and send those messages. and ofc, how that phone lasted months alive and even got signal despite having no signal towers. manga logic, I guess... So, yeah, at that time, Shouhei has already gone back to the modern period (even though he's still in Edo Period) 4 years earlier.. It's pretty unrealistic, but cool concept.

already read long ago. reread 11/26/19

start: 04/15/20 FIN: 04/19/20 ----- CH 291 @ ZINMANGA Translations aside, I guess this manhua really wanted to incorporate a lot of tropes (one night stand, campus couple, workplace romance, showbiz, etc) but ultimately with the gods & devils. It's not perfect, especially 'cos the translations hurt my brain a lot, but I somehow managed to weave the story in my head to make it seem as smooth as possible so yeah.. Just have to learn to adapt (especially with the names changing a lot, e.g. ML's name in the beginning was Feng Ye Ti but later on became Feng Lie, Athena > Ya Dian Na (I guess translator literally just translated in per character instead of as a whole, same with Aphrodite > A Fuo Lo Di Te (there even was a time that it was A Fuo Ming Di Te lol), etc. ps. I really appreciated how devoted ML was to FL, seeing him being straightforward and decisive that he only wants the FL despite a lot of female wannabes.. He never even gave them the chance. He's that decisive. Save for that time when he broke up with her to "protect" her and let her live a normal life (he's afraid that when he transforms again, he might not be able to control himself again and hurt her), where he let that other woman accompany him to the party (though he basically ignored her and told her straight that she didn't have a chance with him.). Thank goodness he never really gave her up though 'cos he was always protecting her in the shadows. And thank goodness for FL confronting this problem head on, and ready to do what it takes to be with him again. Well, in the beginning, ML was truly overbearing, but it's satisfying to see how he reacted to himself when he was trying to recover his lost human memories (like, he was literally ready to fight himself for his bad behavior towards FL lol).. Really appreciated FL's bravery and determination as well, so things ended really well. Yeyyy~

start/fin: 05/26/20 hmm it was just okay... The start was promising, but then she just suddenly fell for him despite him "harassing" her.. Also didn't really like how they made each other jealous in their own ways. Just talk, tsk. [Kinda bothered about how they brought up her relationship with his former tutor, when she hasn't even graduated Jr high... Not exactly judging, but I dunno. Maybe I just didn't like how they brought it up just to show that she had an "experience" with a "mature adult" but brushed it off later on...] Ofc, I appreciate ML changing for MC but... dunno.. I didn't really like him or care for him that much. In short, I wasn't attached or invested to any of the characters. It could've been explored better if it were longer though.

start/end: 07/11/20 hmmm.. So was the "rumor" about him and his relationship with his models true? He didn't deny it so I guess he really was a "perverted photographer" as she put it. Anyway, they're cute! I just really hope he doesn't get involved with his subjects again. And yeah, this is josei so we should be more mature and open-minded with these kinds of things. I'm just being mindful that there really would be no cheating. After all, he's too charming especially when he works (and says suggestive things to the models to get them react the way he wanted).. kkk

start/fin: 08/25/20 *Kinda disappointed at first when he kept f*cking others when he started f*cking her.. But it was more realistic that way. So I really appreciated it how he cut it off with others once he realized he only wanted her.
