Just when I thought “oh this couldn’t possibly get more dark” nah. It does. Wow. I’m so unsure where the other 8 volumes are going at all. Everything is up in the air now.

I…I got no words. I can’t believe I’m going to simp for a freaking Yakuza character but dammit I’m gonna. This couple is adorable, I have to see where this goes but now I have to wait for volume 4 😭

This took an immediate dark turn. Which I should’ve been prepared for considering this is about a fictional Yakuza member but for some reason it just went over my head. Didn’t even think it could possibly take such a sharp left turn. However, I cannot wait to see what will happen in more volumes to come!

Series Review on Volume 12!

I’m okay with this so far! I do not ever judge on the first volume of a series so I can’t say much about this right now but it is decent. The love at first sight is not something I like but I like these characters so my interest is peaked. Cannot wait to see how the series turns out!

I am so scared now I dunno what is happening in the best and worst ways! This is only volume 5 and I’ve still got a long way to go. Whatever else can possibly give me emotional damage 😭

I have finally after many months finished it! I love this one! Probably one of my favourites in the story so far.

Definitely look into Content Warnings as it deals with discussions and depictions of Miscarriage.

So far my gripes with this series are the same from the three previous volumes. It is just an okay series but some of the humour is what keeps making me come back to it. Not a finished series yet I hope that it gets some version of an ending.
