"Let's go, then -- I would go anywhere with you."

Short, simple, sweet. (But what a banging tittle).

Honestly, there's not much more to The Yearning Fox Lies in Wait other than that, if you are looking for something packed with a bit more substance -- this manga probably isn't for you. The art had its shining moments (I appreciated the beautiful rendering of 1920 Tokyo as well the clothings worn at the the time) but overall, it was just alright. The writing is direct and straight to the point. Unfortunately, I couldn't, for the life of me, feel any chemistry between our couple, nor relate to them as individuals. I mostly found myself skimming through most of their interactions, wishing for something more, to be moved by their romance... but no.

I would recommend this to manga newbie or readers who wish to dip their toes into the BL genre. Although, if you don't mind a little digging, there are better ones out there.

Thanks to NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for the E-ARC!!
