モノトーン・ブルー [Monotone Blue]

The critically acclaimed creator of The Girl From the Other Side and The Wize Wize Beasts of the Wizarding Wizdoms returns with this gorgeous Boys' Love/BL tale about animal boys falling in love. Hachi the cat finds most things monotonous, especially high school. But when Aoi the lizard–a quiet, high-achieving transfer student–arrives, Hachi catches a glimpse of a more colorful life. If Hachi can help Aoi open up, unlocking new feelings in the process, maybe life won’t be so dull after all.

Monotone Blue

The fact that I'm still going to try and find a physical copy so I can this on my shelf kind of pisses me off because I don't think I like this as much as I wanted to. More importantly, I don't like Hachi.

The oneshot was kind of nothing but I liked how both of them were on mutual grounds about the whole thing. Now it felt like Hachi was being pushy and selfish while Aoi was much more timid compared to his oneshot self. I don't mind Aoi as much but Hachi's change turned him into a character I personally hate. Possessive, aggressive, and selfish. I get that he's a cat and the way Nagabe writes anthro characters seems to have more animalistic traits and behaviors, but I just really don't like him for most of the story.

There are also times when I felt like things could've easily been explained, dodged, or dealt with more calmly. But you either had Hachi overreacting and Aoi sounding suspicious.

Yeah, by the end it was pretty sweet and I'm here for Aoi's backstory, but there were just mostly Hachi-related things that embodied things I don't like in a character.
