Ramon's manga / #Beastman(4)

Cute and could’ve been hot if it was longer! Shame it’s just a one shot.

Up to incl. ch6

Had all the pieces there to be hot and was quite sweet by the end (once the two fell in love) but given the short length of this, I wish they cut out the unnecessary rape at the beginning and focused on the development of their feelings. Instead it went too strangely from violent rape to MC just moving on happily + the panther suddenly softening? Maybe if the passage of time was better captured… but in the end it’s not even fully satisfying since despite MC wanting panther to stay, he decides to travel. At least they keep in touch by phone and he returns home?

This was so good???? Very sexy smut + beastman, which is a winning combo to start with. More than that though, it’s a surprisingly heartwarming romance about two lonely people finding someone who fully accepts them and would stay by their side no matter what. Senka and Dietrich/Dieter falling in love was adorable, and the bonus hurt/comfort of Senka being there to accept Dieter’s other form AND even lust and receive his lust in return was A+ stuff. Quite amusing that Dieter is really just a huge tsundere with a small jealous/possessive streak, while Senka is actually the seductive, surprisingly calm and scheming one. Their dynamic starts off hilarious with the “violent beastman” wrong footed by someone who isn’t scared of him, and quickly grows into love and devotion.
