The idea of a yakuza boss reluctantly adopting a little leopard who can turn into a small boy is very sweet. "His Little Amber" by Kazki Natsume is a story about a man and his adopted leopard, but it quickly turns into an ambiguous relationship between a young man, who was the boy leopard, and his older rescuer.

The older man tries to set boundaries but they quickly cross them, because the leopard goes into heat and needs the man´s help to release his suffering or at least that is the excuse. The relationship does evolve a little into territory that might become a proper relationship but there is an underlying issue of inequality. So the trope is cute but the adult nature of much of the plot seems emotionally untethered to character development.

This is not, perhaps, terrible, but the romantic partner raising aspect gives me the ick.

My massive, horrible reading slump continues ... 😭

This book is about a taboo relationship between an adoptive father and son. Which is gross to me all 365 days of the year, so immediately no, but even if that sort of thing doesn't faze you, this is just written terribly and is too damn busy. The main character is a leopard shapeshifter, there's other supernatural elements (that I shan't spoil for thee, but I can promise you WILL think it is stupid), they're in the yakuza, there's these whole traumatic backstories, all crammed into this one little volume -- it's trying to do a whole bunch of stuff and I don't care about any of it.

0/10, too many extremely poor boundaries with your vulnerable son, not enough leopard cuteness, I'm out.

Tengo varios sentimientos encontrados con este manga. Empezando con el hecho de haber tenido grandes expectativas sobre este.

El hecho que este tomo si cumpla con lo que promete y, que logre sacar un sentimiento a quien lo lea; hace que sea una buena historia.
Las escenas de comedia, de momentos tristes y, de momento cotidiano. Hacen que uno puedan empatizar y entender con los personajes; especialmente con Koshiro.

A pesar de todo esto, el dato de que Genji adoptó a Koshiro cuando este era un leopardo chiquito(un niño), hace sumamente perturbador el ver como Genji masturba a Koshiro. Y es mucho más perturbador el como en algunas escenas ponen recuerdos del como Genji cuidaba a Koshiro cuando era un niño y después seguía una escena sexual.

Cómo historia funciona bien, pero lo último no me lo puedo tragar.

Ambientada en el universo de MODS y de Nights before night, His little amber puede leerse de forma independiente (solamente hay dos cameos de dos personajes de las obras mencionadas y que no interfieren en el entendimiento de la trama de la obra que no ocupa), y en ella encontramos una historia sobrenatural y tremendamente preciosa, tierna y de confort sobre segundas oportunidades, amor, redención y esperanza.

Al final, el mensaje universal de esta obra es que todos merecemos amar y ser amados. Ser felices.

Durante la nochevieja del cambio de siglo, el exyakuza Genji encuentra a un cachorro de leopardo perdido y asustando que decide llevarse a casa. La cosa es que el felino no es solamente eso, sino que puede transformarse en ser humano y, cinco años después, ese leopardo pequeñito y adorable (el cual a veces sacaba la cola y las orejas sin pensar que había gente mirando, para el terror de Genji) se ha convertido en un atractivo joven de unos diecinueve años humanos que sigue aferrándose a Genji como cuando era un mocoso, transformándose cuando le parece en leopardo o en humano, y estando completamente desnudo en esto segundo y bien pegadito a Genji.

Viviendo con Genji, aunque este siempre le está diciendo que se largue, Koshiro, que no sabe por qué es mitad humano y mitad leopardo, un día comienza a sentirse muy raro y a sufrir unos extraños calores que lo hacen transpirar y sentir la respiración acelerada, además de la entrepierna abultada. Entrando en celo, como los felinos, el joven no sabe qué hacer y a Genji no le queda otro remedio que ayudarlo con su problema.

Pero el ayudarlo está matando a Genji, ya que la voz y el rostro de Koshiro cuando este lo toca es demasiado lascivo y sensual, tanto que el hombre le dice al leopardo que se lo haga solo o que se busque a otro. ¡Aunque eso es todavía peor! ¿Qué es lo que está comenzando a sentir en su pecho por ese chico que lo trae de cabeza? Sobre todo cuando Koshiro le confiesa que lo ama y que siempre estará a su lado.

Las cosas, que hasta entonces iban bien (pues nada había cambiado después de la declaración de amor de Koshiro), dan un giro inesperado cuando Ko no puede transformarse en leopardo como antes y aparece ante él un hombre de largo cabello negro diciendo que es su hermano y que ha ido a buscarlo. Y es que la verdadera identidad de Koshiro está a punto de salir a la luz, una identidad que puede llegar a ser el mayor de los obstáculos para poder seguir estando al lado de su amado Genji.

Siendo una miniserie con una trama adulta de dos volúmenes llena de amor, erotismo, redención y elementos sobrenaturales, His little amer es un slice of life de fantasía con un romance lleno de confort, momentos de humor y ese toque especial que sabe darle Kazki Natsume a sus personajes al crear psicologías tan bien cuidadas y con trasfondo.

This is technically a reread, but I read the original version before they cleaned it up and republished it. I also skim read MODs and Nights Before Night to get a little refresher since I was like oh yeah Shigure and Haru are from something else aren't they? This story must be set before those two. Honestly the relationship is a little weird to me and it has one of the tropes I dislike, but Kazuki-sensei really knows how to draw me in.

DNF (en realildad creo que terminé el primer tomo? idk, online things)

No termino de ver eso de un romance con un niño que has criado. El resto está guay: que sea un tigre, la dinámica entre puteadora y found family de ambos... pero ese detalle hace que sea un no para mi.

From the description on the back of the book, this looked to be some sort of shifter storyline, which it does begin as. There are some surprises that come up for Ko's past when his "brother" shows up to take him home. Meanwhile, Genji, the human who took Ko in as a child, can't seem to decide how attached he is to his "child" given his initial help and then the cold shoulder routine. Even with the cold shoulder, it seems apparent that Genji has no real intention of letting Ko leave him. Ko himself seems surprised by this possessive side, though he's still convinced he's a burden or forcing himself on Genji. It's also surprising how similar Ko's nickname is to his "real" name according to his brother, not that he seems happy to hear it and insists on keeping the name Genji gave him. Now that they're traveling together, it'll be interesting to see how things unfold.

Edició xulíssima dels dos volums en castellà, calia comprar-la ♥️
Llegit fins al capítol 7 perquè soc idiota i no havia entès que està ongoing? Yes ^^' Fins ara pinta espectacular, amb elements fantàstics que no m'esperava gens, moments molt emotius (llagrimeta de regla inclosa) i una parella amb un age gap força problemàtic perquè es reprodueix el rol pare-fill, però tenint en compte que el nen és un potser es podria mig acceptar? La química és desbordant... Segurament me'l rellegeixi quan s'acabi de publicar (tot i que últim capítol del desembre del 22).

I feel that a lot yet nothing happened.

I got confused with the timeline and felt a bit off with the storyline of Genji practically raising Koshiro since he was a child. Those type of plots always make me feel unsure on what exactly I should be feeling.

The art is gorgeous tho and I found interesting how this was not the typical shifter plot but rather angels?

I have so many questions and got no answers.

The premise is neat. It's definitely going in a different direction than I originally expected.
I'm curious to see what some of the twists are cuz there's clearly more to the lore than meets the eye. And I'm begging it doesn't get overshadowed for smut or something later on.
I personally don't mind the age gap, it is quite large from my understanding. So if you're bothered by age gaps and like raising the partner, it's not for you.

I’m in my taboo era. A man finds a tiger boy around the time his wife dies in an accident. He is racked with guilt and takes in the leopard and gives up his yakuza ways. The boy is now nearly an adult and in love with man. Truths about his origin come to light when his brothers arrive.

I like the art, I like the taboo, sadly I’m even here for this age difference today.

The cover really pulled me in to start reading this and the story was really good!

It has some twists in there (that I kinda had figured out already) and at some points a bit rushed. But, it still felt like they took the time to show the dynamics between the two, which was nice.

With the way the story ends, I'm very curious to see what volume 2 will have in store...(in a good way)

The story line is very unique. There are not that many shapeshifter mangas released in english. It also has a little bit of mafia in it to put something extra into the story. I like it but I have so many questions.

Aside from the ick of the raised-from-a-child aspect (which, given the nature of his species, was only 5 years ago), this wasn't too bad.
Not a cute and fluffy read, but still had heart and some fun concepts. Pretty much what you would expect from the blurb.

I knew this book was going to be strange but I didn't expect it to be Angels strange. It was kind of impressive how it kept distracting you from the grooming aspect.

What a very interesting Manga. The back story is interesting and how they become intermixed with each other. What an odd manga.

It had a good premise. But I just don’t understand why the angels aspect had to be there. Why couldn’t it have just been a hybrid lover manga.
