CW: blood, violence, slut shaming, classism, menstruation, powers being attached to a menstruation cycle this coming across as somewhat transexclusionary but who knows how that could play out in the next book, trauma, toxic relationships, miscommunication, slight sexual content, death, execution/murder, gun violence, genocide, oppressive regimes, police brutality
pretty good, will definitely pick up the sequel

4.5/5☆~ CW: diet culture, talk of weight loss
musubi gets a friend!! just as cute as every other volume, wataru gets cats (I follow him on Instagram, his irl cat is the CUTEST). towards the end is a chapter about gaining weight and needing to lose it so that was unfortunate, but unsurprising considering diet culture overall but also the specific view of weight in Japanese culture. still really cute chapter, but just something to be aware of.
can't wait for volume 5! just a couple more months ♥︎

the writing had a couple moments of word repetition and the story was pretty gripping throughout, but that ending. I didnt hate it but also, what? red herrings & unreliable people galore! my first kubica, but probably not my last, honestly. not bad.

CW from author~
Triggers include (but are not limited to): Stalking, death, dubious consent, anal, double penetration, impact play, breath control, mental illness, emotionally and physically abusive romantic relationship (not with Main Male Character), prescription drug use, alcohol and drug abuse, sibling death, parent death, cancer (off screen), PTSD, depression, anxiety, hallucinations, dissociation, traumatic events, suicidal ideation, attempted suicide (off screen), recording of sexual intercourse without consent, depiction of a violent car crash.
I'm adding: casual ableism, cheating mentioned, me not being entirely ok with how prescription drugs for mental illness are talked about towards the end of the story. felt a bit like demonization of it, but not quite. unsure how to phrase how I mean, im sorry!
overall not bad, I'd read from this author again.

cw: bullying, casual ableism, death, violence
eh, it's ok.
plot is quite rushed, art is nice. im unsure why it's labeled manga as it's not made by any Japanese mangaka, so it's just a comic/graphic novel.
