3.5 stars. The art and tension for this are great.

We follow the story of Tamaki, a high school student who has left her native village to study in Tokyo. All was going well until she was forced to leave her apartment building, which was slated for demolition. Packing up her belongings and heading for the city center, she tries to survive as best she can. That's when she faints in front of Logan, a musician in an up-and-coming band. He takes her in, not wanting to be responsible for her death.

A shojo with pleasant illustrations, a scenario that evokes old memories and a certain lightness despite the sometimes-difficult themes it tackles. I'm rediscovering the mangaka through this work, and I'm delighted to have read it!
It tackles themes such as rejection, the discovery of love, fear, jealousy and all those feelings that define us. We're only at the beginning of the series, and it's certain that new elements will be added as the volumes progress.

In the first two volumes, we meet Tamaki and Logan. I must admit that Tamaki resembles a cat in all her behaviors, a timid cat who pretends to play hard to get. Tamaki comes from a very quiet country, and noise makes her very uncomfortable and anxious, so imagine her in a concert hall! Fortunately, Logan is there. Let's face it, Logan is the bad boy with the big heart, and we love that! I like the way he thinks, and his reactions are just as amusing as Tamaki's. Logan is also a passionate musician who lives for his music.

I really enjoyed reading this! I don't regret giving it a try. If you like romances revolving around a music band. A story of first love, then go for it.

These two have such great chemistry. Rou is aware he is far more experienced than Tama and doesn't want to hold her back, but he's also completely gone for her so it's an interesting mix. Tama is growing a bit too as she's finding where she belongs, after having spent so much of her life without somewhere to call home.

[Lissa Hawley · Rating 5 out of 5]

The art style and characters have definite similarities to the artist's other manga, but I don't mind at all.

This is uncomfortable and a bit trashy, but now I have to know what happens.

[Khari · Rating 4 out of 5]

狼はかっこいいだけではなくて優しい。優しいだけではなくて何がいいと何が悪いがちゃんと理解している。良いことを従えないかもけど。

genuinely never been so glued to smtg before idk why

[Vicky Kostakis · Rating 2 out of 5]

I'm not gonna lie in my review for the first volume, I did kinda shred it, but the way the writer wrote their dynamic made me buy the second book, I think that the plot line could be good if my two main problems could be resolved, the age gap, and the FL's vulnerability.

When reading this I looked past those two details, ignoring them in order to pay attention to the storyline and the characters dynamics, I think that the plot has great potential if taken in a bit different of a direction.

mais : LOGAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


review à chaud et pas constructive, sorry. mais la grande Mitsubachi Miyuki a un don pour le dessin purée

[Ylva · Rating 4 out of 5]

Is this kind of toxic? Yes.
Is the age gap awful? Yes.
Is the story anything new and fresh? No.

Did I like it? :D :D :D yes, and I almost feel bad about it.

Japan, I am BEGGING, drop the age gap thing pls. It contributes almost nothing to the plot that couldn't easily be changed.

Anyhow, I will be continuing on and I do like that the pacing is quick.
