Assassin × Cinderella - By Natsuno Yuzo (8/10)

The first chapter of this is funny and entertaining. Also the art, especially the hair, is unique. I think this may become erotica later on but for now it's a comedy. It's about two criminal assassins, who aren't secret government agents or anything. They both work for evil people. The man in black is much more competent than his girlfriend, who is a honey trap that is trying to learn his weaknesses.

By the end of c1 our super spy heroine has been unmasked, kidnapped, and proposed to. The plot moves real fast.

"Minoru" is a bodyguard who protects very bad people. He's a blank slate that reveals nothing, but he's affectionate with her.

"Rei" is a ditzy flirtatious woman who constantly asks her boyfriend questions about his mysterious work. In reality she's a rather cold woman who was raised to kill. Her time with Minoru has made her softer though. They behave like a real couple, and she's not used to receiving affection.

Minoru confronts her. She thinks she's going to die, but Minoru has become attached to her. He's willing to put himself in danger to keep her.

Her real name is Neneko. Minoru seems to be a fairly controlling yandere (most likely). He knows everything about Neneko. She doesn't know shit about him. All of the information she got from her agency is bullshit. Minoru doesn't like ditzy girls. In fact he's not the sort of guy that would fall for a honey trap.

So...why is he living with Neneko?

Minoru also behaves like a perfect boyfriend after the reveal. He cooks. He flirts. He goes outside to kill. He locks her away. It's all very fast but I don't think I'm wrong about the yandere vibes here.

Neneko has a super sad backstory. She was trained to be an assassin since childhood, and the agents that fail get killed. Also, she dieted and trained to become skinny and pretty. That was part of her job as a honey pot.

Neneko vents to him a little. She's stuck with a strong guy that she cannot defeat. She's sure she'll be killed by her agency, or him. I really hope he destroys her agency. That would work and add some action.

After breakfast Minoru proposes. I think that Minoru has been impatiently waiting for this. I hope c2 is just as bombastic

Chotto kiken na amaama Onii-san & Assassin x Cinderella (Oneshots)

Created by: Natsuno yuzo

Genre: Comedy/Romance

You might have seen this one shot floating around here and there (I think @erednayy did a rating a bit back). I actually remember this artist from their work on Castehaste (which is also an interesting story) so I was happy to see this one as well. These are actually two different oneshots that fit together into the story, with Assassin x Cinderella as the final part (so far). The artwork is very pretty and it mostly has a light/comedic tone to it.

The story is about the assassin Haiiro Neneko, who gets caught by an assassin from a rival organization. She's about to die, however, the assassin, Minoru, takes a liking to her and falls in love. Minoru follows Neneko around initially doing something threatening before it turns into something cute (like pinning her down only to feed her a crepe.) She ends up hurting her leg and Minoru kills off a bunch of her assassin targets to make it easier for her. Neneko stabs his hand out of anger since she doesn't want him interfering with her work, but Minoru thinks its cute and continues to pamper her, making her embarrassed.

In Assassin x Cinderella, Neneko is assigned to learning more about Minoru's weaknesses to take him down. Minoru catches her immediately and knows that she's a spy, stating that he knew about her a long, loong time ago. She thinks she's going to die, however the next day, Minoru makes her a nice breakfast . He reveals that his real name isn't even Minoru and while Neneko feels as if all of her research was for nothing, Minoru praises her for doing well and states he would be okay with dying by her hand. Neneko talks about how she was from an orphanage, and that failure of the mission will result in punishment. She complains cutely about how she tried to become the type of girl he liked through weight loss, and learning how to cook. The last panel is Minoru proposing to Neneko about getting married.

Overall, I love the art style of this artist, even all the way back when I first read Casthaste. There is a flowlike and almost soft style on the way they do hair and eyes and their style has always stood out to me, so I'm happy that they made some other manga in the meantime (and a yandereish one at that!). Also like, all of their male characters wear gloves. Must be the sexiness appeal and they REALLY like gloves. Does make them look cool/sexy though.

As a yandere, Minoru is definitely more on the cute side of a yandere, being really doting and even supportive of Neneko. He seems to really care about her, even making sure that she was able to walk and killing off clients so that it would be easier for her. In the spin off (I assume it's a spin off) of Assassin x Cinderella, he's even happy that she will be the one who kills her. In this version, it seems that he already knows about her, and is able to cook foods she likes. Perhaps he was even the one who got her to spy on him, who knows. Overall since these two series are comedic/sweet, the only real big things are him killing off her targets (since he's an assassin) and already knowing everything about her. Neneko is pretty cute as well, though she's pretty much cute girl assassin in both of these stories. The second one gives a bit more insight into her background as a spy, though from what I can tell she's hardworking and doesn't really like it when Minoru does her job for her and she wants to do well in her jobs. For two stories, there's not a lot on her anyways, but she is pretty cute as a protagonist I will say.

From what I can tell, this will be serialized which is great because I think this could be a pretty fun series to read. Castehaste was also really interesting as well, so I don't have any doubt that this serialized series will be a fun read as well. Since it's short, I would highly recommend reading these two for a cute time with a yandere.

Castehate - By Natsuno Yuzo (7/10)

Omegaverse. It's a dirty word, but sometimes authors do get creative with it. This one is weird. It takes place is a world where everybody has animal ears! The carnivores are cannibals and polygamy is normal and classmates in school eat each other constantly. Yeah.

The author for sure has a fetish for cannibalism.

I'm serious if you can't handle graphic cannibalistic lust do not read this. One character almost eats a baby.

Rurikawa is a wolf alpha who thinks of Betas (weaker animal hybrids) as food. He literally eats a student in his "school" once every two months or so. He can eat regular food, but he actually genuinely has to eat people to live. All Alphas do. His "school" isn't really a school. Alphas live unnaturally long lives. It's more like a residence where they do take classes, learn new things, and find mates.

Rurikawa comes from an ancient wolf family. His father thinks the heir should have a mate from a rare species. "Rare species" hybrids can have lots of kids.

Rurikawa's best buddy, Tsukuyomi, is clearly a rare species. He thinks he's a alpha, for some reason, even though he doesn't behave like one. Tsukuyomi is a snake with actual hearts on his tail. Tsukuyomi has actually given birth to lots of kids already. He wants to find a fated partner, but his partners always leave him to raise the children. Here's where it gets confusing. Lower ranked children age faster. That's another reason why Alphas see them as animals. There's a side chapter that shows Tsukuyomi has grandkids, and he has outlived several generations of children. He has never found love....but he's been living with Rurikawa for most of his life. Rurikawa is obviously his true love, but Rurikawa's true love is a terrifying monster.

Kyogo was born an ugly monster, but he managed to eat a dying alpha. That trigged an evolution. Now he's insanely attractive to Alphas, which is convenient because he needs to eat them to live. Rurikawa immediately falls in love with him.

Kyogo loves Tsukuyomi though. Plot twist. Yeah. Kyogo is the only monster around who isn't a moron. He knows Tsukuyomi is a rare species. He tracked Tsukuyomi's scent, and came for him specifically. He also catches feelings for Rurikawa, and they kinda become a polygamous couple....

Kinda...

Rurikawa is romantically in love with Kyogo. Tsukuyomi loves Rurikawa, but they're all attracted to each other. Their society is poly anyway there's no real problem here.

Kyogo tests Rurikawa. He says he'll have a baby with him...if he brings Tsukuyomi. He says he's going to eat Tsukuyomi. Rurikawa protects Tsukuyomi instead. He also says he will willingly feed Kyogo any other Alpha, just not Tsukuyomi. Anyway, Kyogo gets jealous. This is when he catches feelings for Rurikawa. He wants Tsukuyomi, but Rurikawa isn't afraid of his true form. By volume two Kyogo likes both of them.

Tsukuyomi is basically willing to put up with anything for Rurikawa so... hooray?

The sex parts of this are so rough that they kinda just look like more cannibalism. Why am I reading this? Well, the author tried. I respect the hustle. I do. The art is good, and you can't find anything else like this. All of the toxic feelings! The blatantly evil cannibal Alphas? The possessive love connected to eating?! The tragic lack of humanity the characters have because of their long lives and instincts?! This world kinda feels like a dystopia...ding ding we have a winner. It is! Everybody is obsessed with breeding because humanity died off. The only survivors are the most violent human/animal hybrids. Crazy stuff. Kyogo and Rurikawa aren't just boring possessive dudes. They're being controlled by their DNA and an alien society that no regular human could hope to survive in.

Ok.

Duh.

The rare species reveal was kinda funny. Like it's obvious. Kyogo confesses to Tsukuyomi again, and Tsukuyomi kinda warms up to him, but he so clearly just loves Rurikawa. Kyogo is a hungry monster. Rurikawa is a dutiful but DENSE Alpha who loves that monster. Being Tsukuyomi sucks, but he's safe. In this violent world he has two protectors. Kyogo is freakishly powerful, but he needs alot of live meat. Tsukuyomi and Rurikawa start feeding him normal food. It's implied that Kyogo is willing to settle down with them and give up some of his monster powers.

Yay?

Kyogo claims that his mutated body will die without Alpha meat, but it kinda gets glossed over. I know this is yaoi. I know I'm kinda not supposed to care, but I care more about the hybrid apocalypse setting. The poly romance is ok, ok? It's not that bad. Rurikawa and Kyogo both have sincere moments with Tsukuyomi. Kyogo is most definitely Tsukuyomi's stalker though. Also he might only love Tsukuyomi because of his smell...no...when they start interacting Kyogo thinks he's sweet. Maybe I just don't like Kyogo haha...

When the story begins we think Kyogo is the rare one. That was an ok plot twist. When Kyogo started eating Alphas it was genuinely shocking. All of the text about inheritance, breeding, stalking, cannibalism, death and the apocalypse is nearly impossible to follow. Read this if you want to see how weird Omegaverse can get. Is it good? No.

Is it boring?

No.
