Review from 20222:

I read volume 1 and 2 of this manga back to back, and holy shit it was so good! 😭 Meguru Hinohara truly never lets me down. She’s amazing!

I love how the romance between Rin and Chiharu develops slowly. Rin is pushy but not in a physical way. He pivots into acts of service in order to get Chiharu to fall for him, and he’s successful! Their dynamic just warms my heart. Makes me feel all soft and mushy inside. 

The artwork in this is also stunning! Rin’s dragon form is as beautiful as his human form. And I loved that once we actually got some smut, Rin ended up in a quasi-hybrid form. As a proud monster romance lover, it was just right up my alley. I was blessed 🙏🏼

I was truly afraid I wouldn’t love this as much as other works by the mangaka, but this was truly phenomenal! Just such a beautiful story! I need more volumes 😭 I need to see how their relationship resolves. I’m begging 🥺
