More of a 3.5*

I've been putting this one off, because it's ongoing and I wanted to wait for it to be finished before checking it out, but then futekiya/mangaplanet announced they were removing it from their site. The author tweeted that the single chapters are being removed from distribution in general and that there's an announcement coming soon so hopefully that just means Tankōbon coming soon. Anyway I HATE the cliffhanger I was just left on. I hope it doesn't take too long for it to come back and get updated :'(

This was not what I expected going in. It's about a widowed guy who finds a leopard in the street and turns out that leopard is actually a boy.

I have conflicting feelings about this because although I enjoy the writing and like the chemistry of the relationship, I really dislike the caretaker to lover plot line. I really don't like when it's a relationship between a parental figure and the child they raised that is now an adult. They try to skirt around it by being like oh the child developed feelings first and the parental figure was conflicted, but then couldn't deny their romantic feelings. It's just a little too weird for me. I'm trying to ignore it for the rest of the story though because I just really like Natsume Kazuki's writing. I clocked the twists pretty early on and it's a little predictable, but the writing is so emotional that it got me invested. I need the ending immediately.

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 àngel caigut a qui castiguen convertint en humà/lleopard perquè intenta salvar sense sort la dona del seu futur pare adoptiu d'un accident 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).

Mi è piaciuto molto.

Peccato che il secondo volume fosse fallato e avesse un sacco di pagine bianche...e non sono riuscita a capire benissimo che è successo negli ultimi capitoli...ma vabbhe, il succo del discorso l'ho capito...

The art is gorgeous. The story is a little sus. It doesn't come off as grooming...but still I am uncomfy with the dynamic


Cw death, age gap relationship between a guardian and ward 😐
