Help, Omi is so fine and OBSESSED.

I feel a little bit of a creep considering how lews Neeko is depicted, ngl.

RECAP: she's soft and naive, he's dark but infatuated with her, ravishing, spy wants her to seduce him, they go on honeymoon, she gets drunk and shares she didn't learn how to honeypot. he shares he used to work for the spy org.

Ok, qui la situazione si complica… e mi sta piacendo parecchio

In questo secondo volume troviamo Neneko ancora più determinata a portare avanti la sua missione, ma con un piano decisamente… creativo: cosplay + infiltrazione. Peccato per quel bicchiere di troppo che manda tutto un po’ fuori controllo. E nel frattempo Omi, freddo sicario sulla carta, continua a mostrare un lato sempre più… coinvolto. E io? Io sto iniziando a farmi delle domande.

La dinamica tra loro è il vero punto di forza: tensione, ambiguità e quel mix di attrazione + pericolo che funziona sempre benissimo. Il trope del matrimonio forzato e della luna di miele? Sì, già visto… ma qui ha quel twist da spy story che lo rende super divertente e scorrevole.

Mi è piaciuto come la storia inizi a spingere di più sul lato emotivo: Neneko vacilla, e non solo per la missione. Il dubbio che i sentimenti possano interferire è gestito bene, senza risultare troppo melodrammatico.

Forse non succede tantissimo a livello di trama “grossa”, ma è chiaramente un volume di sviluppo, e io sono curiosissima di vedere dove andrà a parare.

Fake relationship, missioni segrete, matrimonio obbligato e tensione romantica: se vi piacciono queste vibes, questa serie continua a essere una lettura super godibile.

Aspetto il prossimo volume con aspettative alte.

Neneko is a really innocent character with a very overdone "sexy" body type that Omi can't resist. He's not entirely wrong when he wonders how Neneko has survived for this long as a spy given her innocent nature and inexperience. Her name also closely resembles "Neko" (cat) and it's difficult to tell from the artwork if she has catlike ears or her hair is done up in a way to look like ears, making the name seem to fit both from her attitude and her appearance. More than once, her mouth is drawn to look more like a kitten smiling than a person. Omi, on the other hand, typically comes across as a puppy or a very dark protective shadow. Now there's this new thread to untangle with the information that Omi apparently has some personal experience working for the same organization. What made him leave though, and why is Neneko the "only one" who can deal with him?

This is the most indecent and salacious thing I read and yet it has no smutty in it. He is so hot.... she is very lewd. The plot isn't really that deep the spy thing is just a teaser for all the fan service this manga gives. Should I like this... probably not but here I am enjoying this psycho man in love with his woman.

One big hug and nibble fest. I’m all in for some loving, but this volume went so over the top it was tooth decaying. I would love some plot here or there, but there was practically none to be found. If the art was a tad less sketchy I would have added an extra star, but I’m on the fence with this series.

my complaint last volume was she is incompetent and, well, this volume covers why that is, so 3 stars.

Sto trovando questa serie divertente e dolcissima allo stesso tempo.

[Kat · Rating 3 out of 5]

very little substance here and continues to be over the top in both dramatics and silliness - the most lewd, yet at the same time least actually smutty manga ever lol.
