I've just realised that they added the comics I've read/I'm currently reading here so my reading goal for 2023 seems possible (does it count as cheating? I don't care, I'm desperate). Full review to come for this absolute masterpiece.
guys ... GUYS !! AFTER 90 EPISODES, WE GOT A FOREHEAD KISS !! ALERT. this was so adorable but so heartbreaking, especially seeing more of rieta's past and the flashbacks. oh the pain she has endured is unbelievable, i can't fathom how she keeps a smile on her face despite all that has happened to her. besides that, i love the way killian cherishes her and takes care of her, knowing how hard it is for her to heal from her trauma.
It took me a while to get into this volume after I got busy, but it’s so refreshing to see this beautiful story build up to some clarity and a confession (with its share of misunderstandings)!
I love how the clergy immediately jumped onto the ReitaXKillian ship after they got to know of her and her wonderful feats.
I know I have to brace myself for the next volume. My heart aches for the two of our leads and wish them ever lasting peace and happiness. I know better than to expect it to happen suddenly. All good things come slow and steady. (Also congrats to the artist for getting married during this volume!!) I particularly loved how the artist did a title drop with showing wind on a branch after Killian Confessed that one chapter. It was beautiful.
This is one of the absolute best comics I am reading at the moment. It has kept me intrigued for about 2 years now and I keep reading it faithfully. I was first attracted by the beautiful artwork and then the storyline. I love the growth of the characters. Both Killian and Reita have come so far and I cannot wait to see where this all leads.
We got to meet Sir Rudiin (and his son) in this one and I LOVE him. I hope we get to see more of him even later on.
THIS SLOWBURN IS SO GOOD AND THE WAY EVERYONE SHIPS THEM IS SO HILARIOUS.
Edit and spoilers: Turns out there were more chapters I missed, so I just read them now and wow. Just wow. Rudin is a menace, a welcome one, and I love how the second Killian expressed his feelings, he went: wait, shit, these are bigger than I thought, how do I handle this??? And now he doesn't know how to handle it! He is so desperate! I hope Rieta is able to find true happiness, she deserves it.
A young man from Rietta's past arrives and Killian becomes extremely jealous. Killian has finally accepted that he has feelings for Rietta. Rietta isn't ready for another relationship at this point since she was widowed less than a year ago.
