I was never a huge fan of Power Rangers. Did this turn me into a fan? Not really.
Will I continue the story? Most likely.
The art was fine, the but nothing groundbreaking.
The strory was a bit predictable, but I'm also not the target audience.
Not sure if I am a fan of Sage yet, I need to read about her a bit more and connect with her a bit more.

The 2nd volume did not diappoint. The same chemistry, the same amazing art.
I might need to buy these volumes just so I can see the beautiful art in person and not on a screen of a tablet.
Both main characters are adorable and their interractions feel intimate and filled with so much tension! I just want them to kiss already! :D

I feel like I need a minute...
Am I turning into a manga reader? Becauce damn this was good. The art, the little vignettes, the chemestry...
It might be silly to say that there is a chemistry between two drawn characters that do not move, but it is true. Both main characters just feel so magnetized. He is protective, she loves to touch him.
The art gives me 1950's France feel. I loved to see the portraits and snippets that the author had drawn.
The vignettes themselves gave me all the cute "kick my feet and giggle" feels.

Darren is a brat. And the communication between Mr. Crepsley and Darren SUUUUUUCKS. Like... dudes... c'mon! SPEAK!
It seems like I've been enjoying each book more than the previous.

The premise of this one is pretty classic - taking revenge on Gods.
The art is nice, but at some points it was hard to follow. Some of the characters seemed to bleed together and jumping between chapters did not help. It just felt a bit rushed, I needed more explanation, a bit more world and character building.
It has a good base, just needs some more substance.

I am not sure I fully understood this one. Maybe I just did not understand the message hidden in the drawn out dialogues. I may or may not have skipped over parts of the dialogue.
Maybe this is meant to be read while under the influence?
Art style was nice tho.

I have not read a lot of mangas in my time as a reader and wanted to give something that is not about super strong teens, hungry titans or pirates a try.
Super cute and fast paced. Is it predictable? Yep. But who cares?! Not sure if I would have enjoyed this if it had been longer and stretched over multiple volumes.
I might need to pick us something else by this author.
