A beautifully executed story of love and cultural differences

The almost dystopian society and the romance, were very well-done, with an almost realistic approach to the creation of this fictional world. This manga also forgoes the "usual" route that many manga take in which there is total lack of concent and "involment" of the FMC , which was rather refreshing! The artwork is also wonderful and the plot captivating.! So was the smut 🤤🤐🥵

[I did read this in English but GR doesn't have a page for it], Oh my god it was so INCREDIBLY CUTE. It's a grumpy/sunshine monster romance, where the grumpy one is so sweet and supportive of the sunshine character.

Beast People live in a city separated by walls from the human world. But when Hana accidently finds a way inside, she's suddenly faced with a tough decision - can she trust the Beast man who she just met, or is he as dangerous as human media portrays his kind?

Me leí este manga de puro curiosa, y sigo estalladísima con algunos comentarios que vi dónde leí el manga.

This manga is adorable, deliciously smutty, and a great story.
This probably the least problematic smut manga I have read recently too. (IE the consent isn't ambiguous it's clearly a Yes). The story about a forbidden love involving a Beast man and a human woman is well done and interesting.
I liked the nod to Little Red Ridinghood. The art is really really good. Love it!

Bought on eBook Renta so do purchase at least a chapter, if you have the money. Let's normalize reading manga the legit way to help the artist;) https://www.ebookrenta.com/

Ahhhh! FINALMENTE un manga con gli attributi, che non ha paura di narrare una dolcissima storia d'amore tra un umana ed un animale antropomorfo! YES!
E' una storia semplice, veloce nei suoi sviluppi, la cui unica pecca è di cercare di arrivare troppo in fretta al sodo (*wink wink nudge nudge*), ma in cui il sesso si integra garbatamente con la storia, senza scadere nel pornazzo.
I personaggi ci sono, la trama c'è, la caratterizzazione c'è, del dramma c'è, il worldbuilding, c'è -se dovessi chiedere proprio qualcosa all'autore, è di espandere questo concetto per dare più ciccia al mondo qui dipinto: quello in cui delle creature create dalla scienza della genetica vivono in un ghetto (per quanto di lusso) separato dal mondo umano).
Non so ancora come andrà a finire, devo ancora leggere il secondo volume, ma ADORO.

4 stars - I discovered the animated trailer for Yuzuki-san's other series, 'With You, Our Love Will Make It Through', and was immediately excited to watch it when it gets released in October. I looked up her work and found that she'd created another series, 'Hana and Mr Beast', which seemed to be set in the same universe... Based on the cuteness level of WYOLWMIT I was not expecting this second series to be smutty, but it was very engaging and I wanted to see more of the love story between Hana and Sana who were just adorable when they were embarrassed. And I love that Sana couldn't control his more puppy-esque reactions, like wagging his tail, when he was around Hana. The story is very simple and too short to get too deep into conversations regarding the racial stereotypes between the two species, but its sweet, adorable, steamy, and perfect for monster romance lovers!

Volume veramente molto dolce e carino.
Qualche scena piccante che non guasta.

Uomini e uomini bestie vivono separati da un enorme muro e non possono interagire liberamente tra di loro.
Hana per recuperare un pallone andato oltre il muro, passa attraverso una crepa e si ritrova nella zona degli uomini bestia.

Per sua fortuna a trovarla è Sanati, che si rivela sorprendentemente gentile nei suoi confronti.

In modo carino, affrontiamo il tema delle differenze culturali e la diffidenza reciproca alimentata dai stereotipi trasmessi.

[Lily Ackerman · Rating 3 out of 5]

Es una premisa interesante, aunque en realidad no se nos explica nada sobre el universo ni el por qué de las cosas que suceden.

La personalmente de Sana me gustó un poco, aunque en este primer volumen puede resultar un tanto... cansada. Por su parte, Hana es un poco difícil de digerir, ya que -personalmente- no me gustan las protagonistas que son todo "inocencia" y con esto de ser tierna y petit.

Me da bastante flojera el instalove, pero a la vez quiero saber cómo progresa la relación entre Sana y Hana, además de ver cómo influye en su entorno.

[Ani Martinez · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a josei fantasy romance manga with the Grumpy x Sunshine trope. It has its wholesome moments despite it being an interspecies erotica. It's a good story & I'm looking forward to even reading the sequel [Kimi to Koete Koi ni Naru]

Woof! Who knew that I'd be into a read like this? In any case, it was anything but a nuanced read, but what was there was pretty good!

Así que... esta es la historia de los padres de Tsunagu. Sí, sorry, but not my cup of tea.

[Aurelie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Okay, hold up, hear me out. I'm pretty sure this is a prequel to 'With you, our love will make it through', I knew it was pretty much furry I just didn't expect it to be full on smut! So, heads up!

[Topy.Loving.Books · Rating 4 out of 5]

2022 - The first time I've read it, it was in english and I LOVED this love story between a human woman and a therianthrope/'man' dog. I'm not a mangas reader, so this was quite new to me. The consent aspect was good, especially now that I've read others mangas and realized it's not a usual thing. I was quite new to monster romance (and still is) and it was a nice way to discover an other take to those type of HEA. I liked the style of the illustrations, especially about the 'beast man' but was less a fan of the over size boobs vs over skinny aspect of the heroine. But overall I enjoyed the story and was impatient to read book two to see their relationship develop and learn more about the therianthrope society. So when I discovered there was a french paperback, and saw the gorgeous cover, I had to have it. - 4 stars

2023 - I've re-read the book, and I have to admit now some aspects of the story, especially the way the woman is portrayed - the power dynamic in the relationship is presented, make me uncomfortable. Especially as I discovered the author is actually a woman, which surprised me because of the ways full of clichés the heroine is represented (naive, considers herself stupid, keep apologizing, thinks she's 'an easy woman' because she gets wet during intercourse, over focus on the feelings). I don't know if it's the fact that I've read it in french this time, but the way the heroine keep presenting herself didn't sit well with me. Or the hero, when in rut, saying he can't control himself (because of the effect she's on him) and if she stays it's her fault and she has to accept the consequences (aka penetrative s3x). The heroine makes it clear that she's ok with this situation and want to have s3x with him, but the power dynamic being clearly not equal, it still made me uncomfortable.

Maybe I struggled more this time with my re-read because in the meantime I've read the webtoon Atnomen (also written by a woman), which present a love story between a young human woman and a gargoyle. And even if she's a virgin and inexperience (like Hana here) and Rain the gargoyle so very big/strong/experience (like Sanathi here) we never feel that the power dynamic is not equitable between the two main characters. Also the representation of the female character/body is nuanced. That's why I know it's possible to present this kind of love story without objectifying the female body and with communication/respect between the MCs, without loosing on the heat aspect during the sexy times.

About the consent aspect, it's something I honestly don't understand in 2023 that dubious consent in mangas is so common and accepted?! Of course it's always the female character or in a MM story, the male character presented as the 'sensitive' one aka the feminine one who get abused and force to have s3x. It keeps on maintaining the idea that if a man is forcing himself on his partner, it's ok. Which shouldn't be accepted. - 3 stars

J’ai repéré ce titre dès sa sortie et j’avais vraiment envie de le découvrir. Ce n’est pas du tout le genre de lectures que je lis d’habitude mais là je dois avouer qu’il me faisait vraiment très envie. J’étais hyper intriguée par ce titre. Je n’ai pas lu les avis que j’ai pu voir parce que je ne voulais pas être influencer et je voulais me faire mon propre avis. Je suis clairement sortie des sentiers battus avec cette lecture, c’est la première fois que je lis ce genre de manga et je dois avouer que j’ai beaucoup aimé cette histoire, bien que ce soit un peu déroutant au début quand on a pas l’habitude de lire ça.

Dans ce premier tome, on va se retrouver dans un monde où les humains et les thérianthropes vivent séparés par un énorme mur. Hana finit par passer le mur et pénétrer dans le monde des thérianthropes. Elle va faire la rencontre de Sanathi, une de ces créatures qui vit derrière le mur. Il la questionne tout en la fixant avec son regard perçant. Hana est toute tremblante et ne peut plus fuir! Alors qu’elle aurait dû être arrêter, Sanathi la cache chez lui et refuse de la dénoncer. Pourquoi? Elle est gentille, chaleureuse et aussi très sexy. Débute alors une magnifique histoire d’amour qui transcende les espèces.

Certains vont crier au scandale avec cette histoire mais je trouve qu’il n’y pas lieu de faire des polémiques inutiles. Cette histoire est vraiment une très belle histoire, certes déroutante au premier abord je l’accorde, mais au final c’est une histoire vraiment merveilleuse qui va au delà des apparences. Je me suis laissée embarquer par cette histoire incroyablement douce. Cette histoire d’amour interdite et impossible se transforme petit à petit en une relation saine, qui brise les codes et devient normale. J’ai beaucoup aimé le personnage de Hana. Elle est si douce, si bienveillante, si adorable. J’aime vraiment beaucoup son personnage. Celui de Shinati m’a beaucoup plu également. Derrière ses airs de grosse brute se cache un loup vraiment adorable. J’adore la façon dont il a pris Hana sous son aile. Et j’aime surtout la relation qui unit les deux personnages. On la voit évoluer petit à petit et ils sont vraiment adorable ensemble.

Ce premier tome était vraiment excellent et j’ai beaucoup aimé. Il s’adresse à un public averti et n’est pas à mettre entre les mains de tous le monde. Ce manga se présente en deux tomes, une série rapide à lire et carrément efficace. C’est une histoire pleine de tolérance, de bienveillance qui traite d’une relation intra espèces. Les personnages sont vraiment hyper attachants et on est très vite pris dans l’engrenage. Il me tarde de lire le second et dernier tome pour voir où va mener cette relation entre Hana et Shinati!

Навіть не питайте як я сюди потрапила... Побачила коментар, що цю мангу порівнюють з Beastars. А цей шедевр я дуже люблю, тому повелась на порівняння. Вибачте, але це ксенофільне порно до Beastars не має жодного відношення XD Маємо, що маємо, читацькі промахи іноді стаються :)
