I think this suffered a bit in the translation phase. It was hard for me to follow in some places, and there were some conversations/things that happened that didn’t pass the vibe check. The world seemed interesting, and the plot (from what I could follow) was creative. The characters were fun for the most part, and there were some funny moments.

Well I don't really know what to say besides that was a slight disappointment. There were so many things about this manga that could have been done well but really nothing hit the spot. It took me days to read it because nothing caught my interest. And honestly, there is no reason that this should be counted as Boys Love.

The art style was gorgeous. Which, most likely was the only reason I kept turning the pages. 

The plot was everywhere. There was a weird beginning that just introduced the characters and gave a slight backstory but was really useless to what was the main plot. The actual story that involves Volks, his twin brother Castio, and the wizard half-elf was very sporadic and if anything the story should have followed Volks's brother Castio and guard over Volks and O'Feuille. Which it did anyways. Also, the plot was very predictable and everything was figured out within minutes of reading the manga. 
 
As I stated earlier, this really did not need to be labeled as Boys Love. Yes, Volks has a crush on the wizard O'Feuille and his brother has a crush on his guard. But nothing and I mean nothing comes of any of it. Even in the end O'Feuille was all "He will need to go off on his own soon"....I mean seriously? I don't need the sexy, or raunchy, or spicy. I just wanted something to come of this manga and these couples would have all been cute together but it never happened. 

Also, it was slow. Very slow. It felt like it took pages to get to the point of the whole story. 

To say the least, as one of my anticipated Tokyopop manga's of 2021, I was very disappointed.
