The ending was it's downfall. I seriously didn't enjoy the whole replica thing. Kinda killed off all the feelings I had for the chars... I dunno, it's not to the point where I'm disgusted, but on it's way...
Honestly... this isn't the type of manga I'd recommend. I'm not a sucker for those cliche dramas, or corny lines and stuff... I don't usually read smut either, they tend to make the plot shallower and focus on sex, and in general, too clingy to their lovers for my taste = =. Well... I dunno, there just was somewhere I didn't quite like about this. Never to the point where I'm annoyed or hating it though.
I never quite got to the point where I loved the story, but for a smut this was unexpectedly good. I'm sure I would've given it at least an 8 if it weren't for the ending... It's not the ending ending that's bad, it's the story they chose = =. ARG! I already mentioned this, but pretty much ruined my impressions on the characters.
I also do realize this is a sequel, but I would have loved if they at least explained a lil more about the relationships... I never quite understood how the characters relate. Which in turn, makes the romance and other stuff more shallow and sex-drived.
The art is amazing. Although wolves are one of those better drawn manga animals, it's still pretty darn amazing. In general, manga animals usually aren't drawn quite as well, this is especially with horses I find. I find it incredible how detailed and real the wolves actually looks. Although I don't draw canines much, at first glance the anatomy doesn't seem to too far off. The poses are natural and much varied, instead your usual just standing and walking.
Well... other than that, the humans... especially the females, they look way too masculine... I won't go as far as saying they suck, but like I said, they do look weird at times. Other times though, the guys are hot and the girls are passable.
All in all, it's not a bad manga, but I probably won't recommend it to anyone else. I didn't have too high expectations for this one, and I fully got what I paid my time for back. Worth the read.
