I received an ARC from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
One of my soft spots is gentle fantasy, and in my opinion, manga is one of if not the best mediums for telling those kinds of stories! This charming story follows a few episodes taking place in the same soft fantasy world as a tsundere half-elf wizard named O'Feuille and his assistant-lover Volks solve problems in the kingdom where they live. The art style was perfect for this story, and I loved all of the characters and their relationships!
There are two main stories followed by a few cute side stories, the main two concerning a boy named Oliver and his cursed mother, and the next concerning people in the kingdom disappearing. The two seemed a bit disjointed, but when you think of the main characters being O'Feuille and Volks and not Oliver or the King, they connect much better.
I wish this was a series because I could read about Volks' shenanigans forever, and I would love to know more about the kingdom and the half-elves. Due to length and the story shift, some things from the first main story seemed to be unexplored, which is why this is more of a 4.5 rounded up. The humor was on point, the story was compelling, and all of the characters were fleshed out, with their own backstories.
Overall, this was an adorable read, and I would highly recommend it to others who love soft fantasy, mlm stories, and cats!
