This continues to be so cute! I like how the characters are evolving. I'm definitely interested in where the story is going. There were some pervy moments in this one that were kind of out of left field so those were *fun*, I guess. The art style is fantastic though at moments there seems to be missing some extra drawings to make what's happening clearer. There were moments when I had to go back and try and piece together what was meant to be happening.

I barely have any idea of what's going on anymore. Why the heck is Kaname MIA? Why is Yuki playing school? I know the answer to the second one but it I barely have any idea of what's going on anymore. Why the heck is Kaname MIA? Why is Yuki playing school? I know the answer to the second one but it still seems so futile. I'm trying to persevere through this series but it's making it so hard to enjoy it. I'm still kinda icked out about the Yuki and Kaname connection. I'm still firmly on #TeamZero. Why am I sure I'm on the losing side? *sigh*
This is getting slightly more interesting but I hate what the author is putting Kaname through for no apparent reason. Why did Kaname go off the deep This is getting slightly more interesting but I hate what the author is putting Kaname through for no apparent reason. Why did Kaname go off the deep end so drastically out of nowhere? It was looking like Kaname and Yuki's dynamic was evolving but instead, it devolved into the mess that this volume presented. I'm not sure I like where it's going but it's entertaining ... I guess?
I haven't mentioned the art in a while so here it is: It's pretty good for the most part! Though there are quite some pages (usually action-packed ones) where I have no idea what's going on. The drawings as a whole have gotten better since the first volume though. There are some that are breathtaking with how beautifully drawn they are. This goes for the past few volumes....more

Yeah, it still eeks me out too. Things are going places and this volume was much more action-packed than previous volumes were. I have a few more volumes to go. We'll see how I feel about this manga by the end. ...more

The overarching plot is also making itself more known and understandable (considering my break in between volumes). I still hope to finish reading this whole series this second time around....more

I’d also like to mention how confusing the action sequences were. The drawings were very vague and jumped around to different characters quite a bit. It was much less impactful than it was intended to be because I was floundering for 70%+ of it. This was also the first volume in this series so far that felt very rushed....more
Ok. I think I know why I was so firmly on Team Zero the first time around.
(view spoiler)[The Yuki and Kaname borderline incest plotline is icky to meOk. I think I know why I was so firmly on Team Zero the first time around.
(view spoiler)[The Yuki and Kaname borderline incest plotline is icky to me. I was in such disbelief that I ended up looking for spoilers on the matter and it doesn't get better. Apparently and I quote "Kaname is their ancestor and one of the founders of Kuran family. Yuki's uncle, Rido killed her brother “Kaname” (the actual kid brother) and revived Kaname (the one we got to know during the series), the ancestor with her brother's body. Kaname was then raised by Yuki's parents as their son. So he is her adopted brother"**. Then Kaname makes a statement about how it's "normal" for purebloods to inbreed considering Yuki's parents are brother and sister by blood. *Cue gag reflex*
On a visceral level, I understand that he isn't actually her brother by blood. The body is her brother's but the soul(??) isn't. They were raised together but Yuki spends 10 years without any memories of when she was 5 and under. So she just remembered these things. Though I can't get over how effing ICKY it all makes me feel! I'm just having a hard time rationalizing this plot point enough for me to continue on in the series. (hide spoiler)]
I think I'm starting to understand why I stopped reading this manga in the past. Here I was thinking this was going to be a Twilight-adjacent manga with interesting characters and story but with some violence. I'm going to try my best to put aside my "discovery" and continue on with this series. I just hope it isn't mentioned again ...more

It was definitely way more pervy and I'm not sure I liked that aspect of it. The hero is so up in the heroine's life that it does become exhausting at moments. I do still like him I just wish he would give her some space from time to time. The story is going somewhere interesting though and I do intend on sticking around!...more
The more I read these volumes the more I recognize that they read like a Trigger Warning:(view spoiler)[Situations pertaining to guns (hide spoiler)]
The more I read these volumes the more I recognize that they read like a detailed storyboard for scenes and actions that run smoothly to transition between different scenes and characters. A lot of the manga I've read up to now has been really choppy and rushed. These are the complete opposite of that and I really appreciate it! I've been loving getting deeper into Yuki, Kaname, and Zero's stories....more
I like the intrigue that's being built. I'm very invested in the Yuki - Kaname storyline. Zero has gained some depth since the first volume. I'm definitely interested in seeing what happens next. Yuki is starting to show a few vague remnants of a stronger personality. It's looking like things will be getting better from here if they continue progressing the way that it's been going. I'm definitely hooked!...more
We meet again. 12 years later. Boy how my opinions have changed!
I vividly remember reading this manga because I had 2 friends who always discussed it and I wanted to be a part of the conversation. I was firmly on Team Zero along with one of them and the other was Team Kaname. I don't remember how I rationalized being Team Zero but I kind of want to throw my younger self under the bus because she obviously had questionable taste in book boyfriends ...more

I'm just cementing my love of the tengu mythology at this point. The story was cute and Iori antics were fun to read about. Koharu still seems to be a character where things happen to her and she just takes the punches at they come. Not my favorite kind of character but I don't dislike it either. The drawing style has gotten better from the first volume. There wasn't any confusion on what was happening throughout this volume....more

I'm so glad I came across this on Netgalley! This manga draws inspiration from the same myth that Annette Marie's Winter Trilogy uses. That realization just made my heart all the happier because I also adore that trilogy.
The drawings were okay. There were moments where I couldn't understand what was going on until I actually stopped and stared at it for a bit. That made the story have quite the stop-and-start for me. Overall it wasn't too annoying and it took very little away from the story being told.
Iori was a fun character! I liked the forwardness and how unsocialized Iori is. He's sweet at all the right times but can also be such a pain in situations that you wouldn't think would even warrant his responses.
Onizuka started off as the second option in a love triangle then became an almost villain and then went back to being a nice guy again. I actually kind of like him and want him to find someone though.
Koharu seemed to be happy just living like and taking the punches. It was only at the end that she made something she wanted happen by going after it. The rest of the time it was mostly things happening to her and her reacting like the 16-year old that she is. Which wasn't bad by any means! It was quite an enjoyable ride and made for an interesting story!
