we finally know more about miko, and i am equal parts glad that she was truly a monster to be feared, but also a little let down of how easily hinako forgave everything. i mean it makes sense but i wish there was a little more turmoil… (can you tell i love angst?)
but 10/10 for the cliffhanger, and i want to know more about tsubaki as well!!!
and it is important to understand that in this story nothing is truly black or white, and the real emotions lay within the details, and selfishness is a key factor that is well explored from all of the characters’ experiences.
Why was that even a plot point?? That was so long ago! She has changed since then and done SO MANY good things for humans.
Pretty sure that bracelet is actually powerless, just a symbol that Miko gave 'power' to by thinking it has power, but it's nothing but a mere trinket. Well, of course, it's also the only thing she has left of her mentor, so even if it's actually powerless, it does mean a lot to her. Well, let's hope she uses her 'beastly nature' to kill that raccoon-girl, Tsubaki.
3 stars because of Miko's backstory and Shiori's absence, although Tsubaki's just as annoying (at least her reason is more valid than Shiori's tho).
“You can have your business with the fox, but watch your words when talking about my Hinako” 😭🙏🙏 Shiori protegiendo lo que es suyo JAHSJAH
Este volumen me ha gustado bastante porque hasta ahora no se sabía mucho sobre Miko. Sigo con esperanzas de que ella y Tsubaki tengan una especie de enemies to lovers, pero la cosa pinta mal. Igualmente, mi interés principal es el romance entre Hinako y Shiori, y ahora que todo se estaba poniendo tan interesante siento que el manga se va mucho por las ramas 😭. Que lo estoy disfrutando igual, pero en 8 volumenes ha habido 1 beso y YA(tirandome de los pelos estoy).
Y bueno la verdad es que no tengo mucho más que comentar de este volumen. Seguiremos informando en siguientes volumenes jahsjahd.
tsubaki is a raccoon yokai who met miko when she was in the eating humans era, before being forced to save people after being captured by the monk. and tsubaki thought hinako would hate miko, little did she know hinako rly wants to die and loves having monster friends lol

This will be a spoiler free review. Onto the review!
I gave this manga a try on the recommendation of a friend. Basically, I was looking for something similar to Someone You Can Build a Nest In, but manga. I’m not sure that’s what I got exactly, but it sure was interesting.
This manga is about a girl who ends up meeting a mermaid (which are like full on flesh eating monsters in this world) and asking her to kill her, because she’s really depressed. Her best friend from school doesn’t want her to die, so she tries to convince the mermaid to wait to eat her until sometime indefinitely later.
I can’t say too much about the plot due to spoilers. I guess the main theme is that this girl is depressed and being gay keeps her going every day? Except the mermaid she’s falling for she is expecting to kill her out of love? Yeah it’s just a lot of angst. If I didn’t know this was an original story, I’d think it was a fanfic. It has the angst levels of a hurt/comfort fanfic, except without the comfort.
Bonus points, there’s a kitsune.
To be honest with you all, I’m not sure why I keep reading this. Like in concept, it wouldn’t work for me. But the way it’s written just makes me not want to stop reading. Like I’m over here rooting for them to get together and also for the main character to get eaten. I shouldn’t want that. I fear this manga is corrupting me and I don’t know what to do about it besides read on.
i’m really happy that we got to see miko’s backstory!!! it was definitely darker than i thought it’d be… hinako’s face when that girl (tsubaki?) told her that miko left a young child behind and tore that child’s parents and siblings apart was just so… omg
but hinako’s and miko’s friendship is just so sweet and i’m glad that hinako accepted miko and her… very dark past lOL (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
