I stroke the white horse I am riding lovingly before getting off.
we are currently at the river, the one called flowing souls. Such an eerie name for a beautiful river.
I move towards the bank, where the hands of the water caress the soft bosom of the land.
I feel the water rush forward and stop just in front of me, kissing the tips of my shoes.
I close my eyes and think of nothing but happiness.
The first time I went hunting with him, my jayjay. The feel of his hands on my body, the fire in his eyes when they roam over my body, that lust, that desire.
The way he laughs, the way he adores me, that is happiness.
Just then, I catch a weak scent of blood in the air. It is appetizing, my stomach churns and makes loud noises, and my legs take off of their own will in search of food.
There's blood everywhere. I am covered in blood. A man lay in front of me pale as ash, his hands clutching his neck, eyes bulged out in terror.
But I feel no guilt, none at all.
My eyes widen In pleasure. JayJay wouldn't approve of it, but this is what we are.
His ideas are Noble, but you can't deny your nature and still be you.
Humans have never denied their nature. They give in to their pleasures and cravings all the time. Animals are slaughtered for their satisfaction, as food. How is that any different from what I have just done?
I lick my fingers, enjoying the scent of the drying blood on them, he was truly a delicacy.
This part of me is a part he will never see, never.
###################################
After what felt like an eternity, I began to feel it, the cold, but it was just my heart that felt it. The other parts of me became numb, I didn't feel anything or hear anything or see anything, just the cold in my heart and the darkness, the black sea.
I didn't go inside it, I sat at the bank of the sea and listened to the silence of the water. I knew the thoughts of the black sea, I could feel its consciousness, its desires and fears, it feared me, so I sat and watched. Then a lady with white flowing hair approached me, she had on a white wedding dress, she was beautiful. She stood at the mouth of the sea, where the water kissed the land and she beckoned to me, but I didn't see her, I only saw the silence and the black sea.
"you have to accept me in" she says with a cocky voice.
"why"
"why? I am the power, I am the beauty, I am the awakened, you are nothing without me"
"you're wrong" I say, standing up and turning my back to her. I walk a little distance then stop,
"you're nothing but a restless voice who needs me to exist" and I was gone with the wind, back to where I belonged, back to the arms of my loving boyfriend and his best friend.

It's not that it's *bad* per se. It just lacks standout qualities.
The storyline is cliché (which doesn't bother me at all!), but it feels flat—wealthy young billionaire falls for the spirited heroine. The main issue was the characters—they were underwhelming. While they might have improved later on, everything felt incredibly superficial. They failed to capture my interest, and I simply didn't care about the direction of the story.
The art wasn't particularly helpful either. I didn't verify when it was created, but it has a vibe reminiscent of the 80s or early 90s. The facial designs are similar to those in *The Irrepressible Captain Tylor* anime, for those who know it. This isn't inherently negative, but it certainly isn't remarkable. Although I don't find the art instantly appealing, it usually wouldn't deter me if I liked the story.
There's nothing fundamentally wrong with this work, but there's also nothing thrilling about it. Overall, I'd recommend finding something more entertaining to read if you're looking for a light romantic comedy.
Time: 2 Hours
Note: This manga follows an entirely clichéd storyline filled with all the typical misunderstandings and lack of communication that often plague budding relationships. However, it does have a Happily Ever After (HEA) ending, which is why I rated it a bit higher.
The characters are standard but amusing to read about. The hero is a genius billionaire who, after getting kicked in the face during his first encounter with the heroine, decides he will marry her. (This happens within the first two pages.) From there, you're taken on a lighthearted journey as these two navigate their emotions and actions. To make matters worse, the heroine is emotionally volatile and tends to yell when things go wrong, leading her to run off impulsively.
Expect steamy scenes whenever the couple reconciles, and this happens quite frequently.
But don't let that deter you! It's actually a humorous manga—just be aware of what you're getting into!
