Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (47/59 chp)
A big disappointment. The first two volumes were gold, but then as I read on, it devolved. I thought volumes 8-9 were at its peak in terms of the drama. But onwards, it became even more unbelievable as it went on. Becoming a Kdrama essentially.

I read it, thinking this would be like Fruits Basket. But that's hardly the case. I was apprehensive about this being a soap opera.

It started off rather grounded in the first two volumes, but by then, it became something outta a Kdrama. Hugely disappointing. Disclaimer, the drama is highly triggering for those who are sensitive. It tries to be much deeper than it really is when really, this is the perfect kdrama plot.

Kira suddenly is cured of her trauma due to the power of love.

All their problems are solved because of a Kdrama plot, which is money solves everything.

From the premise, the mangaka had no idea how to introduce Rei's father, his family.
It did drag. In an unbelievable manner.

I can't say I enjoyed it. Sorry but Rei is still kind of a horrid ikkemen. I guess it's hot in the 90s, for the sexually aggressive tsundere types, but Rei kind of sucks. Like, the plot is set up so Kira has to become entirely dependent on Rei. He's honestly, dated for an Ikemen. Rei was like the Domyouji of the 90s - you know, doesn't understand what "consent" means...

Kira loses any ounce of her independence. But hey, money solves everything.
