I really wasn't a fan of this anime so it took me a while to try this, but I'm so glad that I did because this was so much better! Equal parts smutty and sweet, it features frequent uncensored explicit scenes that showcase the huge size difference between the two MCs... and it was f*cking hot! 🔥🔥

I knew what I was getting into when I started this so I wasn't disappointed with the plot. Yes, it was a little thin but it still existed and I actually kind of liked it. When I wasn't oohing and awwing over how sweet Caius was, I was laughing at how ridiculous it all was, and I don’t mean that in a bad way. 😅 I thought I'd have a hard time rating this, but nah. I loved it for what it was... a sweeter (dare I say more refined) version of old school hard yaoi, and I was never bored. 4.5 stars, rounded up.

I'm gonna go wash my eyes now. Not my cup of tea at all.

Let's pretend I didn't read this

would you like a sprinkle of plot with your porn?

[Sarah]

Fingers the size of a dick & dick the size of an arm. That's the plot. Smash.

This was honestly better than I expected. It's insta-lovey but like WHO CARES; the sex is hot and the story is actually REALLY interesting. The cover and premise were giving PWP but there's a surprising amount of unique world-building that makes everything so much more fun!

The Titan's Bride, Vol. 1 follows Kouichi as he's transported to a different world, to be the Titan Prince's "bride". A prophecy claims that Prince Caius cannot marry someone of his home word and rule. If he does, there will be a great calamity upon the land. Caius is determined to rule and marry, so he uses a summoning spell which brings his fated partner to him.

While certainly filled with spice, there's also a lot of tender moments that I really appreciated. Caius' and Kouichi's relationship develops nicely, as Kouichi agrees to give Caius one month to convince him to agree to the betrothal.

The world-building we get in this volume was interesting and I look forward to seeing where it leads in the next.

The titan/human size difference can really be summed up with this:

3.5 stars

This manga is at its best when it's playing into the absurd size difference between the two leads, which is both hilarious and adorable. Because Kouichi is so much smaller, Caius sees him as something precious and delicate, and I very much enjoyed that. Other than that, this was basically 80% sex. Don't get me wrong- a lot of it was hot, especially when focusing on the size difference, but it just didn't leave much room for actual romance. Kouichi goes from fear to desire and longing practically overnight. I foresee some angst coming soon, however, so hopefully that will allow me to become more emotionally invested.

[Rachel Emily]

I mean this book delivers on all it promises to lol

Clear drawn lines and honestly, I really enjoyed it! Definitely looking forward to the next one.

[Book busy]

Quite....imaginatively graphic but also weirdly sweet?

[Jenn (The Book Refuge)]

Spicy and sweet and fun. Great cliffhanger too!

4 stars
3 on the spice scale

[fatherofdragons113]

Sexiest one yet

[Blake the Book Eater]

*quietly logs and runs away*

[Chase Coe]

Ummmmmmm I might be developing a titan kink because holy shit

[Michelle Easton]

Somehow I didn’t explicit than the manga to be more explicit than the show, but I was wrong. Regardless I’m finally happy to read this instead of just having the 10 minute episodes online. I’m so excited for this to keep going. I’m ready for volume 2.

[Natalie]

In terms of general enjoyment for just the smut, this is definitely a 4🌟. In terms of what I prefer, even in stories that are primarily smut, this was more lacking. It’s more of a 3🌟

If anything, the one thing that could have been changed to make this a 5🌟 for me is to remove the “No. Stop.” that is written as a code way to say “I’m too nervous to accept that I enjoy this and that it means I might be anything other than straight.” It’s annoying. Without it, this would have been a perfectly delightful smutty time. Oh, well. I can live with it.

The artwork of this is also 👌🏼 fucking delightful. I love the character design and just how pretty everything looks. It’s great.

I also live for the size difference between the characters. It’s absolutely absurd, and that’s precisely why I’m so into it 😂 I love chaos. I’m a monster romance reader tho, so nothing new here.

All in all, I’m excited for the other volumes to come out! I want more of the smut and 1% plot. It’s a vibe 🙏🏼

[Samanta]

Welcome to another edition of too much sexual stuff on manga cover in my read list.

[Aaron]

I thought this was gonna be cute for some reason? This is definitely being published uncensored because it really doesn't have anything else going for it. I hate manga so much. Can't wait to read volume 2.

[Gwladys]

Lallaallalalalalala don't look at what I'm reading

[roibean]

ummmm??? GIRL WHAT i brought the whole series on recommendation and now I guess imma just ave to finish it but im not logging it LMAOOO

[Kara Jorgensen]

Not gonna lie, I did not realize how explicit this one is before I started. It was... interesting and not bad. Not my favorite though. I might read another volume to see if I want to read the rest, but the first volume definitely started with a bang O___0

[Frank Chillura (OhYouRead)]

I don’t know what it is about size difference Romance, but it’s always so hot. Like we have a giant and a “halfling”, who is basically just a human from earth, and the difference in size is double… that’s intense!!

When Caius does a summoning spell to find his fated partner, he immediately claims Kouichi as his bride-to-be. The only problem is Kouichi isn’t into men… yet. They will spend 1 month getting to know eachother and if he doesn’t want to stay at the end, Caius will send him back to his world. I’m the meantime, they’ll spend the time getting to know eachother intimately. And it is HAWT!

Boys Love is one of my favorite genres and the reason I read so much manga. I can’t wait for the next volume!

3.75/5stars

This has far more plot and world building than i expected it to based on the summary lol its fun! Kouichi and Caius are cute so overall not as crazy as I was expecting tbh

[Nina Dee]

I love isekai stories, so I was very excited to read this one! Caius can’t marry anyone from his world because of a prophecy, so he summons Kouichi to be his bride! I enjoyed watching their relationship develop and thought that Caius was very sweet. I wasn’t sure plot-wise what this would entail, but I liked the journeying out beyond the castle that started at the end. I’m excited for the next one!

[Aimé]

Pues me he leído esto.
El título y el arte de la portada hablan por sí solos, así que... Bueh.
Cae en clichés bastante trillados del género yaoi, refiriéndonos con esto a esa toxicidad edulcorada tan palpable en la relación de los protagonistas, pero al menos entretiene.

[Becky G]

This is just a good time

[Jenna]

a wild ride to say the least

[Nessa]

This was absolutely crazy, rip his ass and insides 😭

[BarbieTheeReader🎀🫦]

“And yet in that one short moment, you’d stolen my heart.”
“I know that in the days to come, I will come to love you, even more every single day.”

Wow, this was a very entertaining quick read! This manga went from 0-100 very fast and I’m not mad at it! The premise of the story captivated my attention and the way this volume ended on a cliff hanger…. I will be reading volume 2 very soon! Prince Caius and Kouichi chemistry was very intense and they are extremely so cute; and their smut scenes were top tier! I’m invested in their story!

[Elyse]

This was so smutty! 🔥So much more than the anime version. It is also quite explicit and not censured, so it is definitely 18+, not to read in public.

There are some classical dubcon, pushy moments (a little bit too common in this genre of manga) at the beginning, but it does get better later on.

I liked the size difference between Caius and Kouchi, even if it is excessive and not super realistic.

I enjoyed it, but don't come here for the plot since it is barely present. Stay for the smut!!
