Jun 11, 2025This trip into Haretake’s background has enriched this storyline and finally revealed our big-bad's full motivation, but it has also shed some much needed light on the world and set the high stakes for Tsuki’s situation. Konosuke understands the gravity of what he has stepped into, and to some extend, so does the reader. The mystical world has become much wider than a man with a strange curse against metal with weird people chasing after him, though the allure Tsuki first saw as Konosuke as her source of protection is still a bit of a mystery. Matsuura has beautiful illustrations and world building for those who can stick through the complicated names and the layers it's taken to set this stage. Read Full Review
