This review contains spoilers. Premise seemed somewhat interesting. First chapter piqued my interest but didn't immediately grab me but I figured I'd give it a few chapters before deciding to drop it. Chapter 3 hit me with the characters' motivations and backstories and I was in for the rest.

The characters' tragic backstories/motivations can come across kind of simple or cliche, but the emotion put in the panels are what really got me. That scene of Yamashiro leaving home to go off in his own and stating what it was he really wanted grabbed me and that's when I know I was gonna have to see this through.

The art is nice and pleasing. The emotions are drawn well enough that make the story pack a punch for that extra oomph to the feels. The H scenes are appealing. I guess the only complaint is that it's too short so it feels kind of rushed to its conclusion. I wish it was possible to give the relationship more time to breathe and develop further. Overall decent read and I got more out of it than I expected.

This review contains spoilers. I completely fell in love with Pokerou after just the first chapter. The art is phenomenal, the size difference is delicious, and the concept opens way for a romance filled with lots of internal turmoil and anxiety. I adore the first pair so much for their sweet and trusting romance. The second pair has a relationship full of tension and angst and it left me at the edge of a cliff. Chapter 15 broke my heart and I hope for a happy ending for them all. Lastly the ero-scenes, honestly a cherry on top. Came for the H, left with all the feels. Could be considered treading non-con/dub-con areas, so buyer beware for those not interested. I wish for this series (and Pokerou's other works) to get physical copies because it would be an instant purchase for me.
