Beautiful artwork and lots of potential, but felt disjointed and choppy at times.

2.5
this felt like a new version of Ai no Kusabi but make them more miserable, magical, and destined by fate.
it was a nice read. not my favorite sf but nice nonetheless. I usually fin Seina-sensei's works distrubing in the way the unfold but this one was quite alright !

Parental advisory:
attempted r*pe,explicit "love scenes"(this story is probably tagged yaoi but in case it isn't I posted the warning here) and mentions of child abusea and other immoral actions that would occur in a dystopian story.
*I will try my best not to spoil too much read*
The story of World's End:Blue Bird follows Ray a cynical and nihilistic young man who lives in a dystopian city (Japan)after earth was nearly destroyed by a meteor that caused the world to be unlivable and dangerous - and Guang a sorcerer and descendant of a God(I don't want to spoil too much here since who Guang is a descendant of is supposed to be one of the interesting reveals in the story)
I enjoyed the Greek and Roman mythology references as well as the Chinese poems in Guang's monologue.
I hope to read more monologues involving these themes.
I very much prefer them over the makeshift relationship between Ray and Guang.
The main characters Ray and Guang (both have names that are a reference to light) aren't the type of protagonist I prefer but at least they weren't as irritating as the second main character from the manga At the end of the world.
Both characters have a cynical side especially Ray who will do almost anything for money no questions asked.
Ray is very unlikable for most of the volume because he knows better yet he decides to do wrong anyway.
His fans excuse his actions mean nothing.
The whole "poor eat the rich" mentally is getting old.
Why should someone be made to suffer because they are born into a rich or wealthy family?
The problem with this mentality other than it being an excuse to harm or want harm against another person for something so trivial is that it's extremely contradictory especially in Ray's case.
He comes as an indecisive hypocrite.
If someone shouldn't be treated as scum because they are born into poverty then the same should kindness should be given to the other person.
He assumed Guang is privileged because he comes from Paraiso despite what Guang said about his home situation and he is constantly calling him "spoiled" and "a brat" when Guang has been nothing of the sort.
He also called Guang a "sex addict" despite admitting to having inappropriate relationships with both male and female alike.
It turned out that Guang visited the brothel once a month because of his desires that overcame him during the full moon during his transformation.
Ray is too quick to assume the worst about Guang.
The worst part in the story is when Guang is about to be r*ped by some henchmen of the Mafia and instead of Ray coming to Guang's rescue immediately he asked for money for his help.
This scene was unnecessary and crude.
Guang has his shortcomings but at least he isn't cynical and reserves his criticism towards people who deserved it.
The "romance" between both Ray and Guang would have been better if Ray wasn't a selfish bastard and if they both didn't have a tendency to spend time in brothels,etc
I prefer the "pure & innocent" types in romance stories.
Alto and Elva from Lullaby of the Dawn and Onise and Nao from Honey so Sweet are good examples of this type of relationship as well as Haruto and Miyabi from Never Let Go.
These are characters that have never dated anyone prior to each other or don't have "love" scenes with anyone who they aren't in a serious romantic relationship with.
The "love" scenes "In World's end:Blue bird" were awkward enough for me to witness but when the characters first proper meeting led to them having a "certain" interaction,the scene becomes meaningless.
If there isn't any love between characters I don't care about their "love" scenes because the relationship feels "cold" and thoughtless.
Hopefully this problem will change as the story progresses.
Semi-major spoiler:
I had a feeling that the author would find a way to make the two brothers.
Luckily Ray is only Guang's father's adopted son and not his biological son.
I thought it was a bit strange the way in which Ray's father discussed intersex people with Ray when he was very young but other than that he seems to be a good father.
I very much enjoyed reading the scenes where Ray/Guang's father taught his Ray kindness and educated his in history and folklore.
If only Ray was as kind as his father taught him to be.
Perhaps now that Ray knows that his adopted father was Guang's biological father he will decide to change his treatment of Guang.
Ray has had a rough start but perhaps he can be redeemed?
I wonder if this is possible at this point.

I've been intrigued by this one for the longest, but was a little put off because I haven't had the best time with some of this author's other works, but I really enjoyed this one.
It's a dystopian fantasy romance. The romance is pretty quick, but I liked their relationship and I found the set up of the world really interesting. I'm definitely looking forward to picking up the physical copy of this and the sequel when they come out.

Beautiful art. The story line just seemed a little choppy for. Things didn't really click together smoothly and I'd have to go back thinking I missed something.

I don't love when stories (or shows, or movies) start with a Dramatic Future Scene and then you slowly work your way back to that. It means I spend the entire series thinking about that endpoint (?) and whether one or both of the main characters dies. I think I've read that this has a happy ending, so I guess I'll just forge ahead with that, because the rest of it really is interesting.
In art style, setting, and tone, it reminds me of Acid Town , which I'm currently loving. This is set further in the future, though, with society more strictly split into the extremely rich and the extremely poor - and with magical elements, since the descendants of Prometheus are still existing as intersex sorcerers who rule over the land.
They don't have that much power, and their power is just bringing (controlling?) rain, which is a little bit weird. Anticlimactic? But somehow they're able to keep Tokyo as a mostly livable zone in a world that had been knocked off-kilter by an asteroid strike.
Most of the people in the slums hate the sorcerer, since even if he's more or less keeping them alive, the wealthy suck up all the resources, medicine, etc. But we find out over time that the sorcerer was a decent man, who was poisoned by others in the wealthy class so that they could maintain their lifestyle and continue oppressing the poor. (They were actually trying to poison his son and heir, Guang, and are still continuing to try to pull Guang off the throne he inherited.)
I do have some issues with the setup here, because I don't see any real indication that the pre-poisoning sorcerer was actually doing anything good for the poorer communities. Guang is good - he's actively spending time in the slums and trying to figure out how to reshape his world as a ruler who equalizes things out more. And we're supposed to like his father, but I'm torn on that one. He seems like he wasn't doing that much good as a ruler, and had sent his lover (Guang's other parent) away to die in the slums. So what made him good, exactly? Other than him reading books and loving Guang?
Our other main character is a handsome orphaned handyman in the slums, who was raised on an unusual diet of books and stories. Unlike pretty much everyone else at his poverty level, he still has dreams. He wants to earn enough money to leave the city and find out what else is out there. (They've been set up to believe that Tokyo is the only inhabitable space left, but is that true?) When he meets Guang, he's intrigued but not deterred from his plans.
It's Guang ("light" in Chinese) who starts falling in love with Ray ("light" in English) and wanting him by his side in the longterm. Ray is still trying to survive, even if it means turning Guang over to the wealthy-class-funded mafia.
We end on a very large cliffhanger that may not be that much of a cliffhanger, because we've already seen the characters together in that opening flash forward scene...
I like the art, the interesting worldbuilding, and the really engaging chemistry between Ray and Guang. I like that Guang is both honorable and forward-thinking and a completely spoiled rich brat. He can't just shake off a lifetime of having everything he wants whenever he wants, so his extreme privilege still shows through in his interactions with others. But he has a good heart, just like Ray...who talks big about his selfishness but will still run into a burning building, while already injured, to save a child.
I kinda hope pregnancy doesn't become a big visible part of the story, because meh. (I typically skip any a/b/o BL so might have passed over this one if there had been any spoilers about a future pregnancy arc or something. It's different, but still an element I'm not super into reading. At least there are no "heats" or omega oppression/alpha superiority - there are a variety of things I'm just not interested in with a/b/o anymore, so there are a lot of reasons I filter out those types of stories.)
It is interesting that Guang is intersex, like his father, although having it referred to as a monthly "curse" is a little odd. I like the way Ray was introduced to it, and the way he speaks to Guang about the shades of grey in life - not everything, and not everyone, can be split into black or white, clearly defined opposing categories. Which is a mirror for the split society as a whole, and how Guang wants to be the one to bridge it.
Will this be a favorite series once I get through it all? I don't know, but I like it enough so far. I wonder if anyone else in the ruling class will end up being redeemable, though, because right now it seems like Guang is the only good person in that whole side of the city.

El anterior manga que leí de la autora, "Amor a 3 Bandas", no me gustó.
Me enteré de que ella era la autora de este manga cuando ya estaba comprado. Después de una especie de burnout leyendo manga y rindiéndome en el segundo tomo o el tercero (Crimson Spell, Fangs).
¿Qué podría salir mal, eh? Naaaah :DDDD
El caso es que lo empecé, me costó arrancar pero lo empecé. Y para ser un primer tomo, EH. No está mal. La trama es interesante, el flash-forward del principio es intrigante y la pareja empieza muy rápido con el tema, pero no me parece mala, la verdad.
Ahora.
Tengo mis duditas al respecto. (Spoiler!)
1- Guang es intersex, pero según describen ¿es como un hombre lobo? Quiero decir, ¿no tendría genitales "femeninos" salvo algunos días concretos? Pero igualmente hay una viñeta en la que se ve claramente que tiene genitales masculinos, o eso o es una especie de ilusión óptica porque son realmente los de Ray... Ni idea, espero que lo aclare.
2- A tenor de lo anterior: Mira, señora Anji Seina. Como metas un mpreg en este manga no es que lo vaya a abandonar, es que soy capaz de doxearte y mandarte a tu casa de Japón una figura de mi propia mano hecha en cera con una peineta tan grande como tu cabeza.
Dicho lo cual, me retiro. A ver qué nos cuenta el tomo 2, porque la curiosidad me corroe o.o

Hace un siglo que Tokio está bajo el gobierno de un mago.
Hace cien años atrás, el mundo sufrió una serie de catástrofes naturales: temblores, cambio climático y la caída de un meteorito. Esto provocó toda una serie de inundaciones y tormentas, escondiendo el sol tras las nubes, unas que solo la figura del mago puede dispersar, manteniendo en el cielo los rayos del sol que salvaguardan Tokio; siendo aquel que controla el tiempo y quien mantiene la supervivencia de los ciudadanos de Tokio, los únicos que existen en el planeta y los cuales están separados entre Paraíso, el lugar donde viven los ricos y poderosos, y los bajos fondos, donde vive el vulgo.
Y precisamente abajo, en el barrio de Tasogare (Crepúsculo) vive Ray, un hombre que hace de todo mientas le paguen, un manitas que se gana la vida aceptando toda clase de encargos para poder sobrevivir en un barrio lleno de pobreza y de poca salubridad. Soñando que marcharse de allí, Ray es huérfano, habiendo perdido a una edad temprana a su padre adoptivo, Suha, la persona que lo era todo para él y que le enseñó a leer, a soñar, a ver más allá; a hacerse preguntas del lugar en el que vive y su gobierno. Y esta clase de formación es inexistente en los barrios bajos, siendo la pobreza la realidad de las personas, debiendo sobrevivir como sea, siendo más o menos legal. Así son las cosas fuera de Paraíso.
Una noche, al terminar un trabajo de escolta, Ray se topa con un hermoso ser andrógino oculto en una capa. Después de atropellarlo con la moto, viendo que es un niño rico de Paraíso, Ray decide llevarlo a su casa para poder sacar beneficio de ello y evitar que lo denuncie. Lo que no se espera es pasar una noche de sexo tórrido y desenfrenado que sellará su destino para siempre.
Separándose, sin saber siquiera su nombre, el destino nuevamente hace que Ray se reencuentre con el bello Guang, quien vuelve a estar en apuros nuevamente en Tasogare. Será ahí cuando Guang contrate a Ray como su guardaespaldas para que lo proteja mientras él vagabundea por el barrio. ¿Qué es lo que quiere ese niñato con los bolsillos llenos de oro? ¿Tanto le gustó follar con Ray que lo está persiguiendo?

This exceptional little piece is a blend of intriguing worldbuilding, political conflict, forbidden romance, and sci-fi with gorgeous art. Set in a dystopian, post-meteor impact, the story follows Ray and Guang. Two different souls who join forces against a common enemy.
Overall thoughts
To think I almost didn't give this one a shot because I didn't fall in love with Rooming With My Two Lovers. But boy am I glad I said "I love the cover so imma get it"! You know what I got? One of my favorite stories in my collection.
There’s much more to this story than just two guys surviving in the slums. The art is gorgeous, the worldbuilding is fascinating, there’s juicy drama, tension and romance, spice, you name it. I can’t promise you’ll adore this as much as I did because I love sci-fi in every shape and form, so I’m biased. But I’d encourage you to give it a try, even if just for the pretty art and the spice (which is fantastic.)
Who is this manga for
This one is for fans of sci-fi with romance on the messy side!

I am so glad that I decided to pick this up. This volume has just about everything that I love. The art is absolutely stunning. The world building is very impressive and detailed. The back of the volume says “A fantastical, magical love story about overcoming fate in a painful and impossible world!” and that is honestly such a perfect description for this story. Both Ray and Guang are flawed characters neither of them perfect and both products of what this world does to people. I can tell that this is going to be a love story of a couple that defy fate and the odds, hell the volume ends with Ray giving Guang to people that want him dead for money. I am a sucker for a couple that have impossible odds to face. Also this volume had 3 big reveals. Guang being the emperor was the one that didn’t surprise me at all and was obvious. Guang being intersex and Suha(the man that raised Ray by the way) is his father I didn’t see coming. This is such a fantastic BL and also a story of a dystopian world. Highly recommend this one. It has no faults in my eyes.

Me ha sorprendido gratamente porque ya había leído "Amor a 3 bandas" de la misma autora, y no me gustó nada.
Así que aunque no debería, iba con pocas expectativas y la verdad ha estado bastante bien, me ha parecido muy interesante la historia detrás de los protagonistas, el hecho de que parece que sus vidas están unidas por el destino, que compartan pasados con otros personajes.
El mundo tan dividido entre los pobres y los ricos y el hecho de que incluyan la magia de alguna manera.
Vamos ha sido entretenido y me he quedado con ganas de saber más, necesito saber que pasa.

The way being intersex is used in this comic is very... weird, to say the least. It's a little disrespectful, I think. I know this is a fantasy comic and half of it is smut but like, ya know. It's weird.

Beautiful artwork and generally enjoyable, but it was choppy at times. I'm curious as to where the story goes from here, but not sure if I want to continue and find out.
