It’s pretty much a wholesome smutty story with FL and ML doing naughty things while they are on their missions together x)

Ok I'm only giving the 5 rating for the gorgeous art when it comes to the sex scenes but the rape with uke and him getting drugged by "mysterious seme who was summoned by ukes ex wife because he was a womaniser". It was a big turn off tbh, as I said tho, you can't knock the art in this folks!

Right so this is my final suggested manga from my MAL secret Santa (who I still don’t know who it is yet lol) and not gonna lie, when you are first reading it, you do laugh your head off and enjoy it. You do get introduced to interesting characters (even the hawt ones like
adult Lambo and Bianchi
like cmon you have to admit you’d be excited when these two pop up XD).

Over time, I noticed a shift in the art style after reading 60 chapters, and the introduction of numerous new characters without proper context made it increasingly difficult to follow the action. I was really hoping for some growth in the main character, Tsuna, but he remained a typical shounen protagonist who only powered up when shot by Reborn. This lack of development made me lose interest and skim through the pages toward the end. The ending felt abrupt, and honestly, the story’s length—spanning over 400 chapters—made it feel overly dragged out, only to be rushed in the conclusion. I think the story would have been more engaging if it had been kept to around 200 chapters, with fewer characters introduced, avoiding the confusion and boredom that set in later.


Again, the introduction is nice and there are a good few characters that you’d enjoy seeing around Tsuna. It’s just a shame that the story and adding in random characters without an introduction was all over the place..

Thanks to my MAL secret Santa, I have checked out this old skool manga as it is supposed to be wholesome and fluffy. However it unfortunately didnt click with me as story was a bit all over the place and new characters were coming out of nowhere. It’s such a shame as I really really wanted to like this manga 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Well lads, I certainly didn’t think at the start of 2025 that I would be reading a cats point of view in a zombie covid-type apocalypse fiasco. I’m usually not a reader of zombie stuff as they are just meh mostly (although I do like The Last Of Us) but thanks to my MAL secret Santa (don’t know who they are yet but thanks a million for sharing me this), I got to experience this blind and I gotta say, it was a pretty interesting read. 

I do think that it did rush a bit with each character whom Yuki tags along with. I felt too much was going on at once like every time we get to know every character as they either bugger off somewhere else or literally die. I guess it’s more of the fact that it is about the cat more than the humans in this story but still… it would’ve been nice if the author expands the character development a bit than cut them out entirely.


Regardless I enjoyed Yuki doing his usual cattoo shenanigans in every chapter and as a cat liker, it is worth the read. I liked the fact the art of his expressions were really detailed and he literally looked like a real cat, even his close up piercing eyes!

I’m not really gone on both ML and FL here like ML is just too possessive and FL is just too weak minded that she is letting him do whatever he wants. Story seems interesting but it’s not one to talk a lot about tbh….
