Representation: non-binary Black protagonist, Black secondary character, non-binary Black tertiary character.

Content Warning: transphobia, bullying, violence.

This was way too cute for me to function properly. Brilliant writing and art and colours. I loved it and since there is a "1" near the title now, I fervently await the sequel or sequels, if we are that lucky.

3.5

Representation: queer Japanese protagonist.

Content Warning: blood, gore, sadism, vorarephilia.

From the content warnings you can easily sense this is not the usual manga. It involves vorarephilia and demons and one young ex-human. Although different from what I read normally, I still found it interesting.
