Don't base your impression of the manga on the first chapter; the story changes drastically after that - in a good way.

The relationship between the two main characters is engaging and fun, and the use of fantasy in the story is very refreshing. I love the very frank writing the author uses in a lot of their works, and I think it really comes out in the demons' dialogue (in this story and the sequel.) Funny and thoroughly entertaining, I'd especially recommend if you're a fan of the author's other works.

A very enjoyable read, don't let the first chapter put you off.

3rd review!

I don't have THAT many chapters to write a review of so this is based on what is released already.


Story: (10/10)
I have read quite a few yaoi mangas in my short life. But none have I read that was like this. The story progresses as Higuchi Rikiya signed up for an online dating site... (I dont want to give anything away)
I have never read/seen that type of plot before before.
And there's some humor to balances out the seriousness .

... Art: (10/10)
The art style is ADORABLE (reminds me of Junko-sensei's art)

Character: (9/10)
Backstories are pretty original but Higuchi can be categorized as the typical uke: pure hearted and innocent.

Enjoyment: (10/10)
I never read a yaoi manga that has both realistic and fantasy qualities: demons, summoning, magic, etc. It's a yaoi manga with an actual meaningful PLOT.

Overall: (10/10)
A yaoi with plot: Check
A yaoi with fantasy: Check
(im pretty sure) original storyline: Check
Pretty artwork: Check

Now that you have read this, I expect you to go READ IT because it's darn amazing

The manga starts with protagonist being date raped and accidentally summons a demon for help. That was certainly some unexpected development and despite being kinda weird, it’s thanks to this unusual setting that the manga kept my attention for the first few chapters.

However, the manga quickly stop being surprising beyond the initial shock and devolves into somewhat regular character interactions ranging from mildly amusing to boring, coming closer and closer to an average BL scenario. Thankfully the manga picks up the pace again and shifts into demon realm for some inter-demon conflicts. As much as I personally did not enjoy the portion much as I ... couldn’t get myself to really care about the plot at this point, it stills increase the overall interestingness of the story
.
For a BL manga, this one is above average. Getting over how even demons are somehow gay and how the protagonist managed pull a big name one despite being a complete accident, the manga actually takes some time to develop the characters at least a bit and, even through it does end the expected way, it doesn’t shift to physical fanservice right after few pages of character, which is a nice change of pace.

Outside of BL genre though, this is nothing outstanding. So don’t have any expectations if you’re reading this for any other reason than this being a BL.
