Thank you to NetGalley and Media Do International, Inc. / YUZU Comics for an eArc of "Loving You When the World Ended" in exchange for my honest and voluntary review.

I picked this up as I saw queer romance set in a dystopian cityscape and knew I wanted to try it. In this manga an apocalypse sees spoiled Nuowan and skilled hotel worker Yu Sen literally thrown together when the world very suddenly ends and tracks them over the coming year or two as they fight to survive in this new reality.

The premise is something that absolutely appealed to me, I love dystopian fiction and this was a new approach to it for me in a manga context. Unfortunately it just didn't work for me. I found Nuowan tiresome and annoying and there were some scenes that absolutely raised the cringe factor - the suppository scene. 

I love darker manga so I think the mixture of humour and light-heartedness mixed with a dystopia/apocalypse theme was not one that I ultimately enjoyed. 

This will absolutely find an audience who love all of these elements but for me it didn't work but I can appreciate what it is doing and the story that it is telling.
