Phi is just too precious. His dark past haunts him, but I'm glad Apollo is starting to realise Shangri-La is a real home to him. I'm intrigued by the weird stalker and whether Hassan is still alive. But also intrigued by the whole "let's keep this a secret" offer Phi made. Just how many more secrets will they stack up, as the series continues?

Love this manga series!

With volume 2, we get some of Phi's past. And it seems like his dark past might be coming back to haunt him.

Apollo is so protective of Phi. Can't wait to see how their relationship progresses.

Beautiful, gorgeous, amazing.

There's just something about this series that brings me so much joy. It's so beautifully written and drawn. I love it so much. So many more elements came to play with Phi and Apollo finally telling each other about their pasts and the potential stalker coming into play. Then there's just the shock Apollo had when he realized he'd broken the rules. I'm really liking Klarna too. He wasn't super relevant in the first volume, but he's becoming more involved now. He's kind of bratty and I love that.

Not sure when the third one will be out which absolutely hurts. It seems like Ranmaru takes a little longer to put out content, but their works are so good it's definitely worth the wait.
