2024 mini-review
I’m rereading all the Therapy Game volumed in preparation for the release of volume 3 🤩 Although this didn’t hit hard enough for a 5🌟 rating this time around (more of a 4.5)… I still loved it enough that I’m not changing the rating here. I stand by everything 2022 me said.
The biggest change here was that I felt the fast pacing a bit more this time around. I also felt like Minato was pushier than he needed to be. However, I still loved this a hell of a lot. I love the dynamic between the two mc’s (trusting vs reluctant to trust). I also love that we get a good bit about both of their personal lives outside of each other.
Once again… Meguru Hinohara continues to be my queen 🙏🏼
2022 review
I fucking loved this shit!
I’m not gonna lie. I mostly bought this for the smut, and I was willing to face the consequences of that, but it turned out to be really really good! We even had a whole “No means no” moment. Bless 👌🏼 Shizuma is a real one for kicking Minato’s ass when he was trying to go too far. Also the smut was 🙏🏼 delightful!
I was totally hooked. Even though these two fools only knew each other for like two days, I was still right there eating up how whipped they were for each other! It just made my heart absolute mush!
And I just love when characters are going through shit 😩👌🏼 Shizuma has his break up, and he chronically trusts people too easily. He continues to be soft and mushy inside and sees the good in people. Minato has Trauma™️ and is scared of letting anyone in. He’s scared it will only lead to pain. And the two of them just make me wanna squeal like a fucking schoolgirl! I just felt so much for them and how they’re falling hard and fast 😭 I just want them to be together forever.
I’m immediately picking up the sequel right this second. I’m so glad I was smart enough to think to buy both volumes at once.
