See Volume 16 for Series Review!

UPDATE: There is no Adult/Minor relationship, people have been confusing this Manga with Kamisama Kiss.

It is a good start to a series! I really like it so far. I did research it for Content Warnings since none were provided here (now there are as I provided some though minimal, will add more as the story goes). There is a possibility of this series having a Minor/Adult relationship but now reading the manga’s first volume I am not sure of that yet. Only way to be sure is to read more volumes. So far I like it and I’m hopeful for this to be a good manga series!

This was beautiful! Nice and cute. I do wish that it was expanded more so I could spend more time with these characters but it works well as a one-shot manga volume. Will look into more of this Mangaka’s works! Please look into the CWs before reading if you need them.

One of my faves in the series! This was awesome! Cannot wait to read the next, loving the series so far! Remember to check the CWs before reading if you need them, this was a very dark one.

I did like this one a lot but could’ve done without the slur towards Indigenous Peoples being mentioned or the mention of Thanksgiving in the same sentence. That wasn’t cool. I wish more people would let others know that it’s mentioned in the book as a CW/TW.

I really liked this! Surprisingly good, I think some things could’ve been improved but this is good enough to make me want to read the rest whenever I get the chance.

This is my favourite in the series so far. I loved this one and I hope to see more of these two in another book where they are the main focus. Definitely read the CW/TW as always before heading in

I did like this one but it was very awkward. I like the two characters but the way that they became a couple was not for me, I do like them together though. The first is my fave so far but can’t wait to see what the other books are like.

If the relationship hadn’t been decent, I would’ve abandoned the book. The misogyny is appalling. I yearn for the days that authors stop making someone evil based on their characters gender. What makes this worse is that they were poorly written and it is a case of internalized misogyny from the author. I will not continue to the second book. If you enjoy it then that is cool but I strongly encourage the blatant misogyny to be talked about as it is not talked about enough.
