It was... okay? There are some cute parts and some quite spicy parts; but there wasn't alot of story or character development. That could change with more volumes, I'm not sure. There were also some parts that I didn't understand (what happened to her clothes that he had to replace them...? they got... wet? not sure.) Overall, it was fine.

I am living for the RIDUNKULOUSNESS of it all!!!

This was my first mafia romance manga and it was so much fun! I didn't like that it was instant love and the heroine was so naive but overall I had a good time while reading it

I received an eARC courtesy of VIZ Media via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Well, this is a lot was a lot of sexy time-which was not unexpected. But I did at times get the feeling that any attempts at constructing a narrative suffered as a result. Everything about this was fine. You do at least feel some interest towards the romance between Yuri and Oya, but it is also super abrupt. I find Yuri far more interesting when she is on her own-fending off would-be suitors with a suitcase and such. This book seems best described as a graphic novel version of 50 Shades of Grey for the new adult audience. All-in-all, this is is not my cup of cocoa and I hope that future volumes do a deeper dive into the story and some character development.

For Libraries: This is not a YA title.

This is the definition of goofy and I will be reading every volume I fear.
