My Fluffy Moody Crush

by Nayuta Nago

In a world where humans and demi-humans coexist in day-to-day life, Kou is a half-human, half-vampire who works at a cafe. Following a traumatic incident in childhood, he's been avoiding making personal connections with humans, because, well... their blood smells delicious. One day, his childhood friend, Itsuki, reappears in his life and starts working at the cafe.

Itsuki is determined to rekindle their friendship, but Kou must keep his distance to avoid putting Itsuki in a perilous position as he did in childhood. As they grow closer, Itsuki finds himself romantically interested in Kou, and after some push and pull the two admit their feelings to each other and start dating. A sweet, friends-to-lovers romance set in a modern fantasy world!

this was the sweetest supernatural comfort read!

We've got a demihuman MC (half vampire, half werewolf, how cool is that?!) reuniting with his human childhood friend after years apart. One misunderstood blood-drinking incident drove them apart, but now they're slowly rebuilding their friendship and of course, falling head-over-heels in love.

The consent in this story is chef's kiss, enthusiastic, clear and so refreshing. It's full of fluffy moments, tender conversations, and that nostalgic "we used to know each other so well" vibe. Plus, the side characters are an absolute delight, especially the Vampire Mom who had me cackling!

Une histoire tendre où amitié et douceur apprivoisent les blessures du passé.

My Fluffy Moody Crush nous présente Kô, un être unique mi-vampire mi-loup-garou, qui nourrit une aversion profonde envers les humains pour des raisons encore mystérieuses. Sa vie bascule lorsque Itsuki, un ancien ami, refait surface et vient bouleverser ses certitudes. Entre ces deux personnages se tisse une relation pleine de tendresse où l'amitié occupe une place centrale, offrant un récit doux et réconfortant sur la reconnexion et la guérison des blessures passées.

Le charme de ce manga réside dans son mélange réussi entre douceur narrative et esthétique adorable. Les dessins sont particulièrement soignés, avec ces détails qui font toute la différence : les oreilles de Kô sont effectivement irrésistibles et apportent ce côté attachant au personnage.
Ce qui touche vraiment, c'est la manière dont l'histoire traite l'amitié comme un pilier fondamental, capable de surmonter les barrières, les ressentiments et surtout, qui permet à nos personnages d'apprendre ensemble. La relation entre Kô et Itsuki se développe avec sincérité, créant des moments touchants qui réchauffent le cœur. L'atmosphère générale est apaisante et bienveillante, exactement ce qu'on recherche dans ce type de lecture feel-good.

My Fluffy Moody Crush est recommandé aux amateurs de récits doux centrés sur l'amitié et la reconnexion, particulièrement si vous appréciez les personnages hybrides aux designs adorables. Attention toutefois à la présence de scènes matures : ce manga s'adresse à un public averti malgré son apparence mignonne. Une lecture réconfortante qui mêle tendresse et émotions avec beaucoup de délicatesse.

[As always, my reviews are for me/my memory and can contain unmarked spoilers.]

Peen Visibility Level/Explicit Content: Full detail/uncensored.

This one was cute. It's a little superficial and underdeveloped like most of these one-shots, but the art is beautiful and it was enough of a full story for what it was.

Kou is half-vampire, half-werewolf, and accidentally hurt Itsuki when they were kids. He's been clinging to that guilt for 15 years and now despises humans because of it. It's more of a self-imposed rule to stay away from them because they're a weaker species than that he actually hates them, however, because he was so traumatized by the events of his childhood.

They're really cute together, and the rest of the story outside of that trauma is simple and fluffy. I can't believe there wasn't a bite during the sex scene, though. Wild.

This is a very different take on a vampire romance with a yaoi twist. Kou doesn't just have vampire heritage though, but also werewolf as both of his parents were also demi-humans. The story starts off with Kou being a very happy child playing with a human friend, and quickly jumps forward to when he is fully grown and now apparently hates humans. What are the odds then that Itsuki, the same childhood friend we see in the beginning, has been looking for him all this time. It's a slow burn story as Kou learns more about his heritage and what his body has been telling him all along. Ituski has his own learning to do along the way, but starts out much more accepting and determined to be as close to Kou as he'll allow. Kou's mother is a firecracker, but the relationship between the boys really is well done overall. An enjoyable read with a different twist in some common mythology.

This was soooo cuuuuute. UGH the warm fuzzies!! I loooove when a grump goes soft for one person and one person only. Their story was a little sad of course because of how much the wolfie MC suffered during the 15 years they were apart, but the rest was so wholesome and sweet. I found it so, so cute how the human MC got jealous of the demihumans getting along and wolfie immediately caught on when he’s usually so aloof. It really showed how much he cares even if hes a total tsundere about it usually. Plus the tail wagging!! eeee i love that!

En un món de semihumans i semicriatures fantàstiques, el nostre protagonista (mig humà mig vampir) defuig el contacte amb les persones arran d'un incident traumàtic que va viure de petit. Quan es retroba amb el seu millor amic d'infància i descobreix que la seva sang és irresistible haurà de conviure amb el dilema moral de sentir-s'hi atret i voler-lo defuig alhora. Molt cuqui com avança la relació entre tots dos, amb unes il·lustracions d'allò més entranyables i amb escenes hot ♥

As cute as Kou and Itsuki’s dynamic ended up being, the beginning of this volume felt a bit jumbled in terms of the flows of things. I also would’ve liked seeing a bit more of their dynamic as kids and for Kou’s mom to have a bit more of a solid input as a side character could’ve been utilized more. Just to me, I feel like an additional volume or 2 could’ve fixed that since the story was cute.

This was just fluffy cuteness. I don't think the story is that deep but it was just so cute that I am here giving it four stars. I thought it was about a cat human but it is about a werewolf vampire human person. His mom is fantastic . Oh and there was slight jealousy, I ate that right up. Seems like tokyo pop has more by this author so I will check them out.

This is an one short that is just cute. I will say I didn't totally bond with the couple but they are cute. The artwork is amazing since one of yhe male leads has puppy ear and a tail. It's great halloween book for me.

This was so cute and I died over Kou and Itsuki reconnecting years later, and how it was because Kou accidentally hurt Itsuki in the past that he started hating humans. I loved what a sunshine bright person Itsuki was and how great these two were together. This was a fun and cute little story, and I loved them!

Appropriate to the title, this is very cute and fluffy.

[J-Lynn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Super superficial love story. However, the art style more than made up for a lack of strong plot.

This one is cute! The story is really sweet but as expected of a one-shot, it felt a bit rushed in my opinion.

Anyway, I enjoyed the reading!

5 ⭐️

My Fluffy Moody Crush was an instant five stars. It follows Kou, a young man who’s half-vampire and half-werewolf. He hates regular humans and that’s no different when his childhood best friend Itsuki reappears in his life. They were once close until Kou drank a little too much blood from him and later they were separated by a move. Itsuki is determined to be a part of his life again and offers himself over to Kou to help him grow better at drinking blood.

It has themes of trust and emotional vulnerability. The romance is sweet and well-developed and the art style is beautiful.
