Oh we are progressing nicely!! So good old political intrigued is still live and well!! Everyone but our main couple is finding love... lust... fucking which is enjoyable!! I am loving the illustrations that go along with this  and I am super curious of what turn we will be taking. But I am here for either of them !!! Also the servants were so freaking cute!!! They tried so hard and it was precious !!

The premise of this manga is intriguing and exciting! I am loving the outfits and the political games that are going to be played!! But good lord what a tease both characters are! Truly its going to be a bunch of mutually pining idiots who are somehow attempting to run a country... and they aren't even fucking yet! The king from Tance and that romance also peeked my interest so I am also looking forward to that! Fab fab illustrations though !!

Oh I loved the conclusion!! Were parts of it chessy, hell yes but so cute?? Also I just really felt like they progressed in such a wonderful pace of a couple and it wasn't fully insta !! Also the fact that Akamatsu showed up to save Seven from the yazka!! Like the poor kid didn't have much to offer, but he still cared enough to show up and drag his ass home!!! I loved this series very much!!

Holy!! This was!! This went dark and wow did it move the plot along! I would love to define this as a fast and slow burn all at the same time! Do I feel terrible for Seven!! Yes! But I do appreciate that he is looking out for Akamatsu and not getting him too involved !!! I have no idea where this going but hell yes I am here for it !!

Oh this is unfolding in a very different way and I am excited to take this journey! Seven has some trauma and certainly a dark past... and it'll be interesting to see how Akamatsu deals with. On top of his own trauma! It's going to warm up in here and I can't wait for it!!

Oh I like the potential this story has! The illustrations are stunning! I truly appreciate that we are dealing with different gods and demi-gods as well!! And the setting is just so much fun and offers a lot to play with! I am excited for the next volume!!

With every volume I am falling more and more in love with this universe ! I love how we brought more of the Villain quirkness into this... like with the stuffed panda and orange!! But we are also getting far more background on the 'good' guys and I love it!! Not to mention all the trauma Black Ranger has!! Its going to be getting even more amazing !!

I just really love this!! Just how episodic it is!! But the villain dealing with counting sheep or how he tries to befriend a cat! Also meeting his nemisis!! A delight!! And seeing of the rangers that are hunting him!! I just love the world building and find myself just smiling in delight of this!!
