This was an unimpressive read. It has the makings of a generic manga story. You have the obsessive, handsome, slightly twisted and powerful lead male. Your atypical alpha male with a strong possessive streak who takes advantage of his power to abuse an unassumingly naive girl. This naive girl is slightly ditzy and totally under the control of the powerful and domineering male so much so that she seems to forgo self-respect for sex.
It's bloody frustrating. It's a decent read because this is of course Shinjo Mayu's work and if you're a fan this is nothing new or surprising. At this point she tends
to just change the names and status of her lead males but their essential the same character. The women do know what they want and don't always appear wishy-washy, although the one here was a bit unusual; none the less the way they "know" themselves is always by becoming a doormat. The Alpha male always appears to be right.
Adding to the complexity of the relationship is her best friend who shows signs of similar possessive streaks and on top of that he takes advantage of the lead female as the lead male does. It says a bit about how Shinjo Mayu may see sexy men to be, which are domineering asses who are very sexy. It's not my dream man even if I may find them slightly alluring and a bit dangerous. Needless to say the art was phenomenal even if the story and characters failed for me. read more
