Final state of my Bingo board:
My last slot filled is the “Revenge” one, with the series
I had to do some really intensive reading to finish the 4 volumes of this series before the end of the year. Difficultly was a lot higher than I original expected - there’s large amounts of religious-related terms I was not familiar with, not to mention half of the characters spoke in very fancy polite language full of uncommon kanji (and no furigana), while other half used extremely slang-y language that was hard to parse.
The genre for the series, in the author’s words, is Ero-kakkoi, a lot of action battles mixed with some spicy scenes.
Sadly, overall the battles felt way too shounen-ish for my liking, with the normal stuff of power-ups happening out of nowhere and random coincidences saving the heroines in the last minute and so on. It also didn’t help that the main character felt a lot like the typical hot-headed Shounen protagonist.
While there’s are Yuri relationships in the series, their development is kinda … wacky and rough, with little of what could be called “romance”.
Another disappointing element was that despite the series having finished publishing, the last volume doesn’t really give a satisfying ending, leaving most of the main conflicts unsolved.
