Opinion: Another short H smut series. Very little plot but still done very well! And no dubcon! Which is rare.

I love the art. It’s very digital and the characters do look younger but it feels very modern and not too childish.

The plot was actually done very well. There are some common tropes of miscommunication but otherwise the moral was pretty straight forward. Also the male lead is actually so sweet it’s so cute. To be honest I would have read a full series with these characters!

If you’re looking for a short smutty series with a kind and cool CEO this is a great read!

Opinion: I saw a comment on this series that summed it up perfectly. Is this another series with a poor woman who is helped by a yakuza man who secretly remembers her from childhood? Yes. Am I gonna love it anyways? Also yes.

The art has it’s moments but it is very plain. It’s not bad at all but doesn’t stand out very much.

The plot is super predictable with every yakuza trope you could imaging. THAT SAID. I love it. The male lead is so cute and sweet rather than pushy like most yakuza series. This is as cute as it gets.
