The Werewolf CEO's Pet

Its good :)

This is the only manga I've written a review for.  
Just so you understand how much I liked it.  
(Also, sorry for my spelling errors.)  

Story: 9/10  

The reason I give the story a 9/10 is because it was obviously too unrealistic—so many bad things can't happen to one person. But the reason I rate it so high is because I find the story unique, and the amount of emotion packed into it is incredible. To fit all of that into only 8 chapters leaves you dumbstruck, staring at one spot as you try to "process" what you just read. It will surely leave you crying. I don't cry easily over anime or manga, and sometimes I even try to force myself to cry, but with this manga, I was trying to stop myself from crying. I was shaking, and my nose was running. And I know I've already said it, but THE AMOUNT OF THINGS THE AUTHOR FITTED INTO ONLY 8 CHAPTERS IS TRULY INSANE. It all went by in a flash. The way the author could convey so much emotion in a single panel, making you start sobbing, is seriously amazing.  

Art: 6/10  

The art style isn't anything special, but the characters are really good-looking.  

Characters: 10/10  

The amount of character development in the main character (MC) throughout the manga is truly remarkable. I really liked the MC because, even though she doesn't show much emotion at the start of the book, it's clear how much she has been through. When she finally cries at one point, it shows how much she has changed and how much she really cares. Even though she wanted to cry at some points, she wasn't able to because, as I mentioned, she had been through a lot. And the sacrifices she makes for others—I really admire her. She is probably one of my favorite MCs.  

Enjoyment: 10/10  

I finished it all in one sitting. As I've already said, I cried a lot and was completely absorbed in the story.  

Overall: 10/10

[Spoiler Review!]

After reading all the reviews here, I came to realize something. This manga is a sick attempt at using horrible events and circumstances to create a sense of "meaning" and evoke pity within the minds of readers who take the bait.

Story: 2/10

The "story" here has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. The "story" revolves around our main character, Ayu, and the horrible life she lives. Many questions arise when reading this manga, such as: What happened to her parents, what caused her to start prostituting herself, what did she need the money for, and many more. The only character trait Ayu has is that she is a teenage prostitute. That's it.

Ayu eventually meets an old lady who takes pity on her and lets Ayu live with her. The granny tells a sad story about her husband that is meant to evoke further sadness towards the "story." Ayu also finds a dog later, so that's cool.

Ayu also has a friend named Reina, who a group of girls hates for some unknown reason. Reina and Ayu later have sex with some old dude because the old dude just walks up and asks them how much they are paying for sex, which is something that I highly doubt happens while people are just randomly sitting somewhere in broad daylight in a public area.

Oh yeah, Ayu also had a gigolo who basically forces her to do heroin and rapes her sometimes. He had too much drug money debt and eventually begged Ayu to find a ton of money to help pay this debt. Conveniently, granny has almost all the money Ayu needs to help her gigolo out. Of course, tragedy has to strike again, and her gigolo spent the money on drugs and killed himself. Ayu just walks out and later doesn't show any sign that she cared that this happened.

Reina later gets robbed by the girls who hate her, gang raped by the male friends of those girls, and then gets the word "whore" carved into her leg. There is no reasoning as to why these girls hate her enough to do this to her. Did she steal someone's boyfriend? Is it because she is overly energetic? Who knows! The manga doesn't like telling important things like this because it is too busy trying to fit as many tragic things into the manga as possible to make the reader feel sad! This whole issue is just forgotten in later chapters!

Reina later tells Ayu what happened, and Ayu wants to avenge her friend! To do this, Ayu threw coffee on the main girl's head (how did she know this was the main girl?) and then stabs her in front of a huge group of people who just don't care that some high school girl was just mutilated in front of their eyes. Ayu later calls granny to pick her up, but granny has foot issues, and she fell while running over to Ayu, so her doggy comes instead.

Granny later tells Ayu that she had an "adopted" child with a heart illness, and Ayu tells the granny that she sells her body for money and that she stole like 1.5 million yen from her. Granny dies the next day for some reason. Maybe she really hated teenage prostitutes that much; who knows.

Fast forward, Ayu meets Yoshiyuki (Granny's "adopted" child). They like each other and start hanging out. His family doesn't let him out of the house often due to him having heart issues, so Ayu decides to take him to Okinawa because he wants to go there. When they come back, the police arrest Ayu and Yoshiyuki has a heart attack or something like that. Ayu is now not able to see Yoshiyuki and begs his dad to make him happy since she can't see him. Of course, to make the story more tragic, the dad says he can ensure that by having Ayu have sex with him. Ayu then goes back to prostituting, catches HIV, it develops into AIDS, and she dies. The dad also kills himself, so we love a happy ending!

Art: 5/10

Typical shoujo art style. Nothing much to say here. I particularly dislike the cover art for the volumes, as it looks significantly worse than the art in the manga (which is usually the opposite).

Character: 2/10

Honestly, most of these characters are pretty shallow. Ayu's only personality is being a teenage prostitute who has the worst luck in the world, Reina's personality is being Ayu's friend that gets gang raped, and Yoshiyuki's personality is being Ayu's love interest with a tragic fate to make the readers feel sadder. Every other character in this manga are just plot devices that could be exchanged with literally anything, maybe excluding the granny.

Enjoyment: 2/10

I chuckled when one of the old dudes called Reina's private part a biscuit.

Overall: 2/10

In conclusion, this is an overrated and sad attempt at a tragic story that uses cheap plot tropes to trick readers into believing this to be a magnum opus of sorts. Thankfully, it was a concise read, but it is time for me to read the sequels and likely see the same exact thing all over again.

My hands literally can't stop shaking, and my head can't wrap itself around what I just read in this manga—it's so incredibly sad, man. We see a young schoolgirl being manipulated by shady people and having unprotected sex with despicable individuals just for the sake of money. My ongoing question while reading this manga was, where were her parents during all of this??!!!!!!  

She then befriends an old woman and later her adopted son, Yoshiyoki, who suffers from a chronic illness (there wasn’t much information about its cause). To be honest, I absolutely hated Yoshiyoki’s father for being such a nasty jerk towards Ayu and treating her like a toy, just like all the other men she unfortunately crossed paths with.  

This manga not only made me really upset but also extremely angry—I can't put it into proper words to express how I feel. It makes you feel utterly helpless because, sadly, situations like this are happening in our world 💔💔💔💔

This is the first installment of the Deep Love series, and I highly recommend starting with this one to avoid confusion about the manga's sequence.  

This manga leaves a lasting impression, portraying the heart-wrenching, TRAGIC life of the protagonist. It features brave and determined characters whose strength, choices, and actions serve as an inspiration.  

Nevertheless, the manga delves into profoundly tragic events surrounding the main character. Each volume of the Deep Love series presents distinct and painful circumstances.  

I promise you, if you cry easily (which I do :'), you'll find yourself DRENCHED IN TEARS throughout the entire Deep Love manga.  

<p>

Deep Love: Ayu's Story was incredibly realistic, fast-paced, and tragically intense. It can easily be classified as a psychologically realistic horror story. There isn't a single joyful moment throughout its 8 chapters. It delivers one emotional blow after another, leaving readers in tears. You'll need tissues for your nose and possibly a towel for your streaming eyes.

Some characters resonate so deeply with their stories and backgrounds that you find yourself praying for their survival until the next chapter. Initially, this was impressively executed, but it did start to feel repetitive after a while. Nevertheless, the central theme—that money kills, but so do people—remained strong throughout.

The artwork didn't particularly appeal to me. The style of the eyes was not to my taste, and some scenes were challenging to follow visually.

I approached this story hoping to gain a deeper understanding of my own life and to draw inspiration for my own writing. Instead, it left me in tears, especially because of its realism.

While it's not an absolute must-read, I still recommend it for those who appreciate poignant, emotionally charged narratives.

If you are seeking a one-shot-style torture experience, this manga should deliver a fairly compelling session.  

Since it's a somewhat "older" manga, the art style may appear outdated to some readers, and the story is brief, with everything condensed into these few chapters. To fully appreciate the manga, I'd suggest reading just one chapter per day.  

The issues explored in the manga are intense, and the characters are far from being in ideal states. Nevertheless, there is a spark of hope that emerges midway through the narrative.  

I wish the story had been more developed, allowing readers the opportunity to grow more attached to the characters.

Deep Love - Ayu no Monogatari is far from being a conventional romance manga where a girl meets a guy and they fall in love. I began reading it with that expectation, but by the eighth chapter, I was completely astonished. Deep Love - Ayu no Monogatari is not only unconventional but also delivers profound themes and a narrative that will evoke sympathy, joy, or distress by the time you reach the end.

The plot is relatively straightforward. Ayu, a teenage girl, finds life devoid of meaning and resorts to selling her body in a society she perceives as corrupt and immoral. However, an encounter with an elderly woman alters her perspective. After hearing the granny's tale about her long-lost lover, Ayu resolves to transform herself for the better. While this summary seems bright, the actual story is more complex. Various events occur throughout that will make you both adore and despise aspects of Deep Love - Ayu no Monogatari.

The artwork is clean and visually appealing. The mangaka focuses little on intricate details, allowing me to flip through pages swiftly. This isn't negative, though, as it provides clear pages and simple yet attractive backgrounds in each panel, keeping your attention on the story and its characters, which are the manga's strongest elements.

Despite its brevity, the manga excels in character development, particularly Ayu's evolution. I genuinely empathized with her struggles across the chapters. Ayu feels incredibly real and vivid in Deep Love - Ayu no Monogatari.

In conclusion, Deep Love - Ayu no Monogatari was thoroughly enjoyable. Its story, characters, and exploration of morality and suffering are all exceptional.
