This one surprised me in a good way. I expected ecchi or full-on ero, and it was very much ero right from the start; jam-packed. Not my thing, and I seriously considered dropping it, but it wasn't actually bad, just... lacking any real plotline (my usual complaint about ero: sometimes they try to be both ero and plotline, but that's often a disaster for each). I expected it to be a 4 (hoping not a 3 or less), and not expecting so much as a 5 on the outside, but this managed to become an 8 for me (mostly a 6 or
...
so, but it comes together — no pun intended — in the end [also no pun intended]).
But then the plotline and cultures began to peak out just a little, and the ero shifted to the characters' needs and wishes. This was better. Then it got a little... let's say "uncomfortable", but the story progressed well in general.
There were two (arguably three) plot twists toward the end, and the author suddenly made me care about the MC and the secondary characters and all of the NPCs.
It's not the first time that I've cried (happy tears this time, luckily, though there've been both happy and sad ones before) at a manga (though it's more common for me with anime), but it's the first time that I've cried over an ero.
If you're looking for ero, there's plenty of "that". Absolutely plenty. If you're looking for a wonderful, heart-warming ending though, there's that too. Yes, it's definitely a little thin on plot for the most part (more than a patina, but not by much), and not a lot of character development, but the ending is well-worthwhile. ❤️
