I loved this and it’s very different from what I’ve read previously by Ayano. Can’t wait to read the next volumes!

The story plot was interesting, and I enjoyed reading it. The beginning was very luring, I didn't want to put the book down, it was so good. I just wish there was more of a background story, and more detail. I didn't really like how the story jumped awkwardly to the sex scenes. I also really didn't like the scene with the disturbing hentai tentacle snake. That was very...unsettling. That was definitely NOT my cup of tea. I enjoyed the story line, but it kind of ruined any possibilities of me continuing to read this series. Sorry.

This was okay. Okay, lets be honest, if not for the lovely artwork this would have been 2 stars...

The plot and character development need a lot of work. I could not get a sense of identity off anyone. Havi seems interesting enough to try to continue but otherwise I was a bit frustrated and overall bored. I can't even add anything that the summary does not say really.


Now the artwork is amazing! Especially when Vald (not sure why summary calls him Bald-it is Vald inside the volume) goes to his beast side. LOVE his markings! For a manga character, he is hot to look at in this form!

Sadly, hot guys are not enough. There are a couple decent moments so that I am willing to give volume 2 a chance for reading but it is not a priority series for myself. I am hoping that this was just to set some character intros but overall there is a lot of room for development.

***Please note this is YAOI. M/M, Boys love, whatever you want to call it. Havi and Vald hook up. In mature, adult ways. NOT for younger readers!***
