Peach Boy Riverside, Vol. 1 by coolkyousinnjya
1.0

Art: 2/5 (very sloppy anatomy: people's top and bottom halves aren't properly connected, feet are tiny and weirdly floppy, the female lead has weird water-balloon breasts, legs are emphasized but look weirdly wrong, movement is drawn in a very uncoordinated-looking way [how does this girl RUN???], the demihuman is drawn in a jarringly different style than everyone else...)
Story: 1/5, I started skimming very early. No-one seems overly bothered by the princess constantly trying to run away, then suddenly for no reason she's allowed to leave without escort or argument. It might have been more interesting to focus more of Mikoto with the hints of hidden darkness in his personality, but he has very little on-page time in this volume. And then the big reveal at the end had zero foreshadowing that would have helped it to make any sense. Feels like the plot was written by a 10-year-old, so maybe a 10-year-old would enjoy this, but for some reason it was categorized as Adult in my library ,:/
