Three wolves born on the same day but with different and distinct birth circumstances,
All with one fate…
One of them claimed to be cursed, one actually cursed and the other, a special child,
All living their lives without knowledge of the unknown, without knowing their destiny is attached to the world as it rests on their shoulder…
And there is a love story intertwined with tragedy, one that can be escaped only when carefully untwined,
Because in the shadows is a demon, one that has been lurking, waiting to kill, eager to show itself.
When all goes wrong in the world, the future and the past come clashing, the spirit world and the wolf world start to align, together with the wrong stars…
One wrong move and it will all come crashing down...
And then destiny called...
Will they all find their place in the world, balancing it, or will it all end, even before it starts?
“Watch, for my precious star is going to drop, together with her beloveds, and when this finally happens, pray that they all meet in one place, for only when they do, will the world start to become whole again,” says the Moon's prophecy
But while the wicked ones are at watch, and the righteous ones slumber,
When the Demon Lord comes calling, will the Goddess’s star get to shine? Or will it get dimmed by the impending darkness?
.
.
This is not just a romance novel and it is not just a werewolf story…

Without delving too deeply into spoiler territory—though this does pertain to the later arcs—I'll avoid mentioning specific character names. However, by the conclusion of the manga, the prevalence of rape apologist themes and justifications is incredibly offensive and disheartening. I can't fully express how I felt during the final arcs; it was like being punched in the gut and heart simultaneously. It felt like a betrayal. If you're a survivor of sexual abuse, I would advise skipping this story altogether—or at least avoid reading the last few chapters, as the excuses and acceptances presented are deeply disturbing. The narrative even attempts to persuade readers to forgive the rapist, offering reasons that are far from convincing. It's extremely difficult to read.
Everyone processes trauma differently, but this situation was handled with no sensitivity, showing more concern and sympathy for the rapist than for the actual victim of the assault. I can't emphasize enough how disappointing this is. I don't know why the author included these elements, unless it was purely for shock value, which is deeply hurtful. This is especially painful because I genuinely enjoyed this manga for most of its run.

don't get me wrong. It's good. The depth of the characters' personalities really draws me in and makes me want to keep reading. But maybe it's because this isn't your typical shoujo manga that I find myself getting annoyed at times. I'm just so used to reading conventional ones that something like this feels kind of "meh," for lack of a better word.
but again, this is only my honest opinion. I haven't even caught up enough with the manga to form a fully developed take on it. Still, I feel compelled to share that while it might frustrate you initially, you could end up loving it by the end.
as of now, I'm only on chapter 20.
please forgive me for being too judgmental so early into the manga. But I believe my feelings are worth sharing.

Even though it has 15 volumes, which I initially thought might be excessive for a shoujo series, it never once made me feel bored. The story is fantastic; it doesn't force unnecessary conflicts, and that's what kept me hooked until the very last page.
I believe the strongest aspect of this manga lies in its characters, particularly the main character (MC). I adore the MC's personality, which stands out as being quite different from the typical shoujo protagonist. She is strong and cunning but possesses a genuinely kind heart. Another character who impressed me is Meguro. In most shoujo mangas, male characters are often depicted as overly perfect—extremely intelligent and excelling at sports (which seems rather unrealistic to me). However, in this manga, Meguro is not a flawless prince capable of doing everything; he has his fair share of flaws, and that's exactly why I admire him. Because, let's face it, perfection is boring.
That wraps up my review. I highly recommend giving this manga a read. It's genuinely great, despite not being particularly well-known.

Unfortunately, after that point, a few things really started to bother me. Firstly, I was somewhat irritated by how Maria's personality seemed to shift. Without giving too much away, I felt she became overly consumed by her emotions and lost some of her independence, which I found a bit frustrating.
But what truly spoiled it for me was an event that occurred around chapter 70. It made me so angry that I went from devouring the manga eagerly to ignoring it for weeks on end. I did contemplate lowering my rating, but up until that point, I would have easily given this manga a perfect 10.
I would still recommend it, though, because it was absolutely fantastic leading up to that moment.
The artwork is stunning, and most importantly, the characters were distinct and easy to tell apart, which is something I appreciate. In many mangas, all the characters tend to look identical, but that wasn't the case here.
I would suggest trying the first chapter—if this manga resonates with you, you'll know right away after reading just that one chapter. :)
