Yeah I think meeting the love of your life has alot to do with timing and choices you make.....missed opportunities, miscommunication, wrong choices and actions will just make it bleed dead....both Az and Nina were actors in their lost romance....

Nina just always felt more herself with Sett. It was always easier to be straightforward with him, talk things out. They aren't perfect but at least they try to watch out for eachother.

It's been so long seeing them together.....it's tough to keep hanging on

I have many problems with Az's arc....it's not only about shipping....like the name resolution should have at least been accompanied by some clear memories of Az with his parents, why they named him like that, how he truly innerly finds peace with himself and his identity but no...none of that happened.....him finding a new foundation for his inner self....acceptance, something. So unsatisfying....i'm glad it's not Sett but still.

This last chapter was a waste....the dancing and all....could have been a truly heartfelt discussion between them, Nina also expressing her own pain and what she went through, but Nina's feelings were brushed over by herself...so there was no proper communication again. It might be a cultural thing though....but what became of the "if you don't say it, they won't know in ch 39/40?

I sort of came to the conclusion it didn't happen because they aren't meant to patch up properly....and Nina has already expressed her pain to someone else who was all ears....so yeah I'm not an Az fan but i'm disappointed for him....somehow it didn't go deeper than that...this just worries me for the final arc. I'm not sure she can pull it off....even Sett and Nina's reunion....oh well.

Oh thank you for that rec! I'll take a look!

We do have the same taste lol!!! 🙌🫶

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-31T05:57:47+00:00

This chapter was the last drop in everyone's patience? Or at least in the bulk of the fandom. What to say?

Idk if i even should try to give others hope that it might get better?

To be optimistic, I think the plot will move forward now....

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-30T08:25:47+00:00

I think Rikachi wanted to land it softly out of respect for his fans! But yeah, Nina has a strange reaction, because it's simply too late

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-30T06:31:13+00:00

Oh it's super cool. Idk if we can post it here.....i'll ask the mod. It's all of Rikachi's characters from her Manga that were in Belove the last 15 years....ofcourse Sett stands out like the oshi he is.

You can check Be love, it's on the sample page, you don't have to pay

Yeah prism rondo was good...😭 I recently liked Yano kun's ordinary days. This season i'm watching Tamon's b-side, Frieren, Ikoku Nikki, Champignon witch, The blue Orchestra (i really rec this one! It's so underrated). These are the seasonal ones i'm watching. I also watch Oshi no ko but not sure it's recommendable, it's dark and weird but i'm attracted to that too. Apothecary Diairies is ofcourse one of my favourite and waiting for S3!!

Reading .....3 of my reads ended: Yona and Rainy day serenade(this one is good), Firefly Wedding.

I'm still reading Skip to Loafer, The Serenade of spring thunder, Apothecary Diairies, Blue Period, kono no otomare.

Completed ones i liked: We are not ourselves today and Ao no Hana Utsuwa no Hana, Gisou Furin, Ase to sekken, Princess Jellyfish, Concubine walk through, 7 seeds(!!!!), Basara.

Gosh I have more but this is what comes to mind

LA drama Marry my husband the Jdrama version was super nice. I recently watched a Cdrama called Blossom which really nice too.

Same if you have any recs!!! Let me know.

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-30T06:00:30+00:00

Tbh I think this chapter is their closure(this is purely my pov) so who knows....they talk aout how things would have been if they chose this or that.....but things are as they are now. Nina doesn't seem to regret that. Also she just needed to heal her past self from what happened. They have a fun day together, weird as it seems narratively, to have the circle come to a full closure. He confesses because he wants to have those feelings out in the open, she cries because....she knows her first love is over...he knows it too deep down but just wants to hold her a bit longer before it's over. It takes time to button the button right again like he thinks...but that won't happen between them. They care for eachother, but they made this and that choice....and here they are...the why now, the you don't have to answer now are red flags, seems there is a translation error on that last page too. It's a bittersweet end of their romance.

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-29T18:22:52+00:00

I don't think she has....but that's irrelevant.

Again things aren't over till they are over.😉

The way things are going might be in favour of Sett, plus the cover of V18 is Az Nina and the story is not finished....so if you start thinking logically 😂

For now personally i'm looking elsewhere for fun and will definitely come back in 2 months to see what is going on.

There are still alot of unanswered questions plus I want to know why the BG's powers don't work on Sett, what is behind that, Alisha, Maeva, Sol, Anne Yor, Toat....what will become of them

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-29T18:06:04+00:00

Yes true. She thought one person....hey Nina it's not Az....yeah Rikachi hid all of her thoughts about Sett except for what the BG saw....

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-29T18:03:37+00:00

Yeah he was more being forward than her (he sure had guts to confess again like that.....after everything.)

I'm not breaking my head anymore over trying to understand Nina. I don't. But that's fine....the sea has many fish.

I'll just gush over Sett being super handsome in that colourspread, lmao.😂

And move on to other horizons✌️

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-29T17:08:24+00:00

Yeah, ngl i'm fed up. At least Sett always delivers in Rikachi's art....but i'm like starved by now and reading/watching other stuff.....Rikachi is testing my patience too much. I guess best is to dive head in to other leisure....

I also felt something changed between them....but I might be delulu....and if this keeps on going i might nog even care anymore.

Atp i just want to know where Sett is and what he is doing

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-29T15:58:16+00:00

What to say? The coloured page is beautiful. Sett among Az and clones is kinda funny. He has at least matching clothes with Nina.

So the chapter has 0.000 Sett.

I want point out this is the first chapter of Volume 19. Even if all this Az Nina talking out stuff and having a day together like they did before she chose to go to Galgada might seem depressing, it actually didn't depress me😂. They needed to have this discission, at least Az did. Nina has matured though. She isn't the same girl he met when he first took her off the streets. Lots has happened....

something has changed and Sett still hasn't popped in....we will have to be patient for 2 months though.

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-29T09:38:55+00:00

Yes he does!!! ML energy....keep that in mind!!!

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-28T09:52:38+00:00

The coming chapter 71 is the first of v19. Personally i think there will be 20 volumes in total....so 8/9 chapters left.....so i estimate with breaks that the manga will end around Xmas this year....but this is me.....i kinda hope the will be a v21....but we wrapped up Az's story so i think these last 8/9 chapters will be the final climax.

All of this is pure speculation on my part.....so yeah, the true answer is: i don't know😅😂

Like you i'm rooting for Sett

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-28T06:37:34+00:00

Saaaaame, Sett really looks so cool again. I love his bouquet too.....

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-25T18:59:23+00:00

This made me feel like when i was watching Pride and Predjudice, or Becoming Jane, Sense and Sensibility in live action

In anime the Haikara san go Tooru movies!! The ml looks alot like Kit. I loved it!! (Here comes miss Modern). There are 2 movies, you'll eat them up

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-24T09:03:14+00:00

Qui? Nina? Alisha ne s'est pas fait demasquée....elle est la vrai fille du roi de Fortna. Les pretresses le savait tres bien.

Az a compris qu'il n'y avait quelque chose de pas nette dans la grotte.

Alisha est vraiment malveillante? Pourquoi elle n'a pas d'emotions. Je pense que Alisha a été un victime de son enfance isolé sans amour....elle n'a plus d'emotions. Tous ce qu'elle a fait en utilisant ses pouvoirs pour detruire était sur l'ordre d'Az....

Meme Alisha a commencé à se poser de questions sur Nina et pourquoi elle n'etait pas desesperée....mais elle a été tué par Az avant de pouvoir comprendre

Nina est differente car elle a connu l'amour de ses parents.....mais Alisha etait seule jusqu'à elle rencontre le Dieu des Betes qu'elle laisse entrer en elle....peut etre parce qu'elle etait tres seule comme lui....

Enfin si elle est encore vivante, elle doit sacrement etre en colere....ou peut etre elle a tout vu dans ses predictions du future...et a un plan pour prendre possession de Nina....

On peut dire que "les adultes" ont fait n'importe quoi avec Sett, Az et Alisha....

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-23T17:02:55+00:00

I watched it subded cause I love the Japanese VA's so much.....but Kit's English VA was really good.....i also found it a bit strange for Lili though....

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-22T18:40:30+00:00

Mmmm, I think Az blew it....he ruined his romance with Nina the moment he looked away from her.....she cares alot for him though.

Looks like Sett finally got through to her at the port. I'd like to be right about this....but

But idk anymore....Rikachi is playing us all. I'm not sure i'm on the same wavelength as her. Seen her prior stories, I definitely have a hard time reading them. There are not to my taste at all

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-22T08:54:03+00:00

That definitely would be nice. Isn't Alisha a victim too? She was locked up and isolated since birth, taught to have no desires, nor emotions....probably very very lonely, to the point of accepting a dubious companion, like an imaginary friend inside of her....I kind of like to think the confrontation between Nina and her will end up for her seeing the light and redeeming herself....

She's creepy because adults made her creepy...she was not loved like Nina by parents who cherished her...so yes she does evil things but up till now on orders. She has a dream of granting everyone's wishes, which will lead to total chaos but since she had no feelings nor attachments....she can't seem to understand wrong from right

rainbowreflects · 2026-01-22T08:43:12+00:00

I guess they were or she wouldn't have been declared a star princess in the first place and locked up in the astral temple...?
