by Nekonomori Shima

LOVING YOU ALL KNIGHT LONG

Back on Earth, Mitsuki was just your average thirty-something office worker. He certainly never expected to wind up having a grand, magical adventure. But here he is, living in a fantasy world alongside Volk, a younger man who turns into a large black wolf now and then. It's a lot to get used to, but Mitsuki enjoys his new life. He just wishes that he could find some purpose in this world so he wasn't such a burden to Volk and everyone else. Can Volk convince his lover that he's fine as he is? The story comes to its romantic conclusion!

I loved this series, Volk and Mitsuki are so cute and love how they interact. I loved learning more about Volks background and his parents I do wish we would have seen more interactions with them but it was cute what we got. The only thing I wish we saw was the interaction between Mitsuki and the head priest, like they set it up but never went further. Also where’s the conclusion for every other character? Anyway loved this book I hope we get another to finish off some of the plot holes left behind

This one finally diverged from Bean Counter enough to feel like more of its own unique story, which made me like it more. It...really did not attempt to close out any of its plot threads at all, which makes me wonder if it just wasn't as successful as it needed to be for a longer continuation. But I still enjoyed this volume a lot more than I would've expected after the first one.

It's helped by getting Volk's perspective on Mitsuki's entrance to his world, and how he grew attached to him. A lot of it is explained away in a sped-up sort of format by essentially making them fated mates, a beastfolk thing. But it's also just that Mitsuki was a kindred spirit. Volk was very familiar with feeling "different" from everyone around him, and the loneliness that accompanied that. We get some actual backstory on what beastfolk are, how the wolf-heritage got into the royal family line, how Volk was ostracized to some extent because he suddenly manifested something that'd skipped generations, and why current beastfolk are hated (because the prior king had been against them).

Some of that still doesn't quite make sense with the worldbuilding, since there are lots of other beastfolk in the castle and military, but still. Good enough. The point is that Volk understood Mitsuki, paid more attention to him, and fell in love. That all works nicely.

Mitsuki took a little bit longer to get there, but he was genuinely attached to Volk's wolf form and missed all of him terribly once the prospect of actually being separated from him became a tangible possibility.

I liked the sequence of him returning to his own world and realizing there was nothing left for him there, and that the other world, with his unique job and his friends and his lover, held so much more interest and joy. That was a really nice touch. Then meeting Volk's mother and his reunion with Volk, with him kissing the scar on Volk's arm, was really lovely.

Lots of nice moments in this volume, and a sweet romantic wrapup with a romance of a nice future together. Even though absolutely none of the story was resolved at all!!!

There was that whole deal with the magic circle that they were working to decipher...the saint who still badly wanted to go back home...the head priest who took an interest in Mitsuki and wanted to speak to him once the first miasma-purging exhibition was over...the prince trying to woo the saint and to keep her in their world...

I really don't think this was meant to be the final volume. With that in mind, it wrapped up as neatly as it could, and poor Maria will just have to flounder around trying to find her own way home, I guess, because Mitsuki definitely doesn't want to go back anymore.

Is this really end? It felt pretty rushed honestly and like there is more to this story. Like what is up with the priest?!?!

But what we got I enjoyed, we got to see how much they care and for each other another extra spicy bonus, and a fun cast of characters. I would like to see more of this, I think the mystery outside of the romance feels so open ended and incomplete and I think we could have more cute moment between out couple.

A cute ending to this story that at times really feels like things happen because they happened in other, similar stories... like "The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter", which released (as a novel) the year prior. I have no idea if these were both inspired by the thing and just followed many of the same plot beats as a result, but that's how it is. The art in this is generally nicer than Bean's art in both the novel and manga, though this mangaka still struggles to draw wolves. And it feels like the story just stops a bit early, before most anything is resolved.

Still, they're both decently enjoyable. If you like Bean, try this. If you like this, try Bean: it's a novel that's been adapted into an ongoing and enjoyable manga, and is getting an anime adaptation in January 2026.

they almost did something interesting but then didn't 😅 they had him teleported back to his world and almost no time had passed from when he left so that made you think that 7 months went by in minutes in his world so then he lives out the rest of the day in his world before he gets sent back to the fantasy world and I thought it was going to do like this thing where he's been gone for a couple years and there's this big reunion but nah he was also gone for seconds on their end. 🤷‍♀️ I guess they live happily ever after but they don't address anything else, like did the girl get rid of the miasma is the world doomed? you don't know 😅

While this isn’t a fated mate story, it gives those kind of vibes and I’m actually into it. They are meant to be and their love is hot… as well is their smutty scene. There was more sexy time in the first book, but I was happy to wait for it. I enjoy their relationship and look forward to reading each book.

3.5/5

Fue una historia bastante linda y con un mundo interesante, pero me hubiera encantado que se hubiera desarrollado más, ya que quedaron demasiadas cosas al aire.

En general me gustó mucho la pareja, pero el final me pareció muy apresurado. Me habría encantado que la historia tuviera unos cuantos capítulos más, pero creo que en sí es disfrutable de esta manera.

Well this continues to primarily be a carbon copy of the Bean counter but if like me you are trash for these tropes that will be all the more reason to read it. It’s not bad an it’s definitely spicier then bean counter. It’s not offer much original story though, aside from the whole duke is a beast folk angle

You know, I wanted to give this a fair shake, but I feel like it was never able to give itself a fair shake. It was too much of a lackluster Bean Counter clone, and I feel like we didn't even get to dig into the things that set it apart before the series got rushed into an ending that doesn't feel like it's wrapped up any of the open questions we had about the setting.

⭐3.5 (rounded down) - liked it somewhat

Cute. I do wish there was a part where we got the point of view of the girl. That would be very interesting because she is somewhat reluctant to be there.

I loved it. Every time there's a story with Isekai and Beastfolk, I will be there to read it!!

Hoping for another volume to continue this sweetness, but if there won't be one, this would be a good way to end the series (*^^*)

[Martu (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ · Rating 3 out of 5]

Simple and cute.

[Sarah Anderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Plot-wise there are still quite a few dangling threads off to the side, awaiting resolution. But as a look at this couple, this volume was quite sweet.
