I’ve been purposely not swearing in my reviews for the past while because I’ve found that I don’t like reading them there, but I must now make an exception…… (Click for fitting background music)



WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’M SO FUCKING MAD! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!



THAT EEEEEEEEEEEENDING!!!!!! (For context, this volume ended on Chapter 20: “Sea, Romeo, and Juliet Part 1”) First of all: I can’t believe they ended the volume like that. Second of all: I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY EVEN DID THAT AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh wait, actually, I can. I can very easily believe it, and had the bad feeling that they would do that, BUT I WAS VEHEMENTLY SCREAMING FOR THEM NOT TO ANYWAY!!!!!!!!! BUT. THEY. FUCKNG. DID!



Ahem. Other than swearing, I also never gif spam (and frankly hate it when other people do…), but this is clearly a special case we have here. I am livid. I am the embodiment of wrath itself. They fucking baited me. They baited me so hard. I saw it coming, but I wanted the reward so… so badly…



Literally none of this review will make sense if you haven’t read this series, but if you’ve read any of the previous volumes you might be able to get it. Or if you read my Reading Comment. I suggest you don’t do that though because then you’ll definitely catch on and lose the anticipation for when you read it yourself. Though, from this review so far, I might’ve already given it away. ^^” Let’s try and make this an actually somewhat useful and less spoiler-y review, now.

Have my complaints from the previous volumes been fixed yet? NO. Romeo and Juliet still have the maturity of -10000 year olds. The motherfucker could barely hold himself back from busting a fat nut at the mere thought of holding Juliet’s hand. But, the sad thing is that he doesn’t even hold a FUCKING candle to Juli-cucking-et. You always know when they show a close up right before characters kiss that SOMETHING (or someone) is going to come and explosive diarrhea all over your hopes and dreams. I really didn’t think that it would be the lady herself, though. Especially after it looked like she got a little wet from Romeo sucking her wound ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). That’s actually what gave me hope that the kiss might actually happen. Uggghh. This is the creator of this manga:

And don’t give me “Ohhh, maybe that’s just how Japanese culture is, don’t judge them for being different than you” because that’s motherFUCKING bullshit. Multiple characters from this very manga have also noted their immaturity (Romeo’s friend in the last chapter, that princess bitch in the previous volume), so no.
Is the art still good? ...Duh? It’s not something that I’m still super enamored by or anything though.
Is it still funny? There is never a chapter that fails to make me laugh multiple times! The comedy is one of the best things about this series.
Is the storyline/drama continuing to be juicy? Like always. The first three chapters of this volume finish up the Romeo, Juliet, and Birthdays arc which was started at the end of the last volume. Can mangakas please stop starting new arcs at the end of volumes please??? For my sanity’s sake???

I don’t know what the heck that Q&A thing was supposed to be, but we both knew from the start that this wasn’t going to be a standard review. Manga sequels are always weird to review, anyway. There’s always a million volumes and it’s like, who’s going to read your review of the 57th volume of Naruto? No one. They’re going to be too busy reading the actual volume to give a shit about your opinion, that’s why reviews always get less and less “likes” the deeper you go into the volumes. Except for my review of volume 7 of My Hero Academia somehow got more likes than I usually get??? It was another rant-review because they chose the worst possible spot to end the volume, lmao. Not that I actually care about likes, obviously. If I was in this game for likes then I would have quit 200 book reviews ago. I don’t know what this paragraph is. 2meta4me

Okay this volume gets four stars for the epic sword duel during Persia's birthday (epic in terms of shoujo manga, not shounen obviously). I was thrilled to see the stakes meet the seriousness of the situation. I was wondering when the shoe was going to drop when they started dating, and while we have gotten small instances up until this point, this is the first instance where the severity of their relationship came in. I'm glad that Kaneda balanced the serious scenes with funny ones (Cait Sidhe's intro was hilarious) and was willing to take their duel so far considering how early readers are into the series. I also enjoyed seeing Romio take his oath to become a prefect seriously and decide to become a prefect yeoman, despite how boring or possibly degrading it can be. Romio and Juliet's relationship once again shines in this volume and is the brightest part of the series. On that note, I have been holding off doing this, but it is finally time that I address some of the issues I have with the series:

1. The amount of fanservice has been ratcheting up as the series goes on, and while it is not enough to make me stop reading, it is starting to get distracting. I'm starting to wonder whether this is a shoujo manga or a harem series. Again, not enough to make me stop reading, but it got on my nerves sometimes.

2. I mentioned this in my review for the second volume, but way too many of the side characters are boring and one-dimensional. Scott is obsessed with Persia, Somali is obsessed with Aby and is stupid, Maru is a jerk who has become a softy, etc. I'm not exaggerating when I say that most of the side characters never deviate from their chosen personality quirks. The only exceptions I have found so far are Char and Hasuki, and Hasuki is pushing it to be honest.

All my gripes aside, I do still thoroughly enjoy this series. It's fun, the romance is still great, and our heroes have a solid goal to reach now. I'm curious to see how this plot will proceed from here on out, but as long as the romance stays strong, I'm good with anything.

The storyline is great, but this volume has multiple pages missing so the story is cut up. Pretty crappy considering it's KU and gets paid per page read.

Really loved this manga version of Romeo and Juliet! There are these 2 dorms at the Dahlia Academy; The black doggies and White cats and they have this longstanding feud(Like the Capulets/Mantagues) And Persia Juliet and Inuzuka Romio have to keep there love a secret! Really awesome beautiful story and artwork! Highly recommend if you enjoy any Romeo and Juliet Renditions😁😻❤️❤️

Honnêtement un des meilleurs tomes de la série, on voit enfin que Juliet est amoureuse de Romio ! Parce que jusqu’ici on avait l’impression que c’était surtout Romio qui l’aimait et que Juliet acceptait les sentiments mais sans plus…
Encore beaucoup trop de fans services mais bon ça va encore.

J’ai bien aimé le tournant que prend la relation de Romio et Juliet. Le fan service augmente d’un cran. J’espère que ça ne va pas empirer. J’ai adoré le combat à l’épée.

I love Teria she’s my second favorite character now she’s such a cutie. How devoted Juliet and Romio are to keeping their secret is fun to see. I can’t wait for the next volume which I already have and will be reading tonight hopefully

The main plot was very well done. The battle with real sword mirror various version of the source. There were some unnecessary parts
