This is a fun series with gorgeous art. This volume specifically added some intriguing and unexpected backstory for our cold-hearted lead, who is slowly winning me over. The side characters have already won me over though.

3.5⭐️ Enjoyed! This manga series definitely has potential with more of a plot unfolding in this second volume. We got a bit more of Fuzuki’s backstory and both Hakuro and Ranmaru are great—especially the latter as he’s just adorable.

ehhh idk, I like the art, I think the story has a lot of potential, but I'm just not really being drawn in.
