Slow burn. Fun lore. Cute AF. Cronos was so obnoxious 😆

This manga feels like a warm cup of tea in story form—gentle, charming, and quietly delightful. Rather than leaning on a heavy plot, it drifts through small, cozy moments that make its world feel lived-in and inviting. The use of Greek mythology adds a playful, whimsical layer, weaving familiar figures and lore into a completely new story.

What really carries the story is its cast: endearing, slightly quirky characters whose relationships unfold naturally and often hilariously. Their banter and small acts of care give the manga its emotional core, balancing sweetness with just the right amount of humor.

Volume 7 is especially fun, with the romance continuing to blossom in satisfying, heart-fluttering ways, while also introducing a number of new Greek mythological characters that expand the world in exciting directions. The second half shifts into a more intriguing storyline that adds just enough momentum and mystery to deepen the overall arc while still keeping the series’ warm, comforting tone intact.

And then there’s the artwork—soft, expressive, and full of detail. Each panel feels lovingly composed, enhancing the story’s tranquil atmosphere and making even the simplest scenes a pleasure to linger on.

It may not be plot-heavy, but that’s exactly its strength. This is a manga to relax with, to smile over, and to return to when you want something comforting and quietly magical.

Volume 14 was better than volume 13. We got to see more of their relationship in this volume but I still feel like we haven't gone back to what was brought up as the fear. Colette will pass away one day and what happens to Hades after. They both know what happens in the after world. I do actually prefer when we aren't dealing with the human world. The Gods are very interesting in their dynamic.

We got some really sweet and kissy moments. Right now, I think I am still reading cause I want to know how this ends. I am not as interested all the filler that that I feel like is slowing the progress of the story down.

A very sweet installment with a good blend of romance from our newly established couple and amusing antics from the celestial and underworld crew.

Cat Zeus is too cute and we need more of him in future chapters.

Oh, and somehow Colette is still not back to her home village yet! Lol.

Throwback to Ouran’s Lobelia arc.
