A review by capriqueen
The Song of Yoru and Asa by Harada
dark
emotional
medium-paced
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
3.5
Mixed feelings on this one. I love explicit uncensored manga, and this has a ton of smut so at first I was very pleased
Yoru is absolutely adorable, unexpectedly so. Asaichi is a sleazeball but gets better toward the end. I liked the push-pull of their dynamic. Yes it’s very toxic, but that’s what I expected from the premise
But then… a really really dark thing happens (not between the two mc’s but to one of them). And it was very dark. And it severely hampered my enjoyment because of how messed up it was. This was going to be like a 4-4.5 for me
It pulls it out in the end, getting back into the emotions and relationship between the two and their cute moments, but that one scene was very disturbing
I’ll still pick up the sequel though, as I have hopes nothing like that will happen again
