axelmania's manga / #ongoing(923)

im not really the intended audience for this. i mean, at best it has constant sexy dubcon scenes. youre probably wondering why i gave it four stars, then, which is that it has a weirdly affirmative narrative around the protagonist experiencing this, an amazing plot, great art, thoughtful themes, actually has black characters?? in a lot of priest/demon literature, the priest is corrupted, but thats not what happens here. the priest retains his values, and no amount of temptation changes him significantly. he already frankly wasnt a great fit for the church, but he honestly made the best of it. and what a fucking cool and intense love interest... when the protagonist saw him pretending to only care about money and got angry, it really solidified who he is. the side romance is a little rushed, and the childhood timeline is a little confusing, but i cant bring myself to care when the main story has me this invested, lol.

intriguing so far!!
