I'm back with manga reviews and this time I'm bringing quite the fun read for you all. I normally don't favour school life reads, however, this piqued my interest as the main female character is the secret daughter of a Yakuza leader, so I gave this one a shot right away!
*I have received a free ebook copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, please note that this doesn’t affect my opinion of the book, nor my personal thoughts.
This was such a refreshing and hilarious read! Arakuni's been tasked with the role of bodyguard for his classmate—and childhood friend—Honeko Akabane, and she's definitely a handful!
What I loved about this story was that despite Arakuni being a teenager, he's taken up this task and treating it as his own life's mission... Which kind of is, in some ways, and he'd rather be seen as a boisterous, hot-headed boy than a protector to Akabane's very own life. It felt very sweet and it makes you wonder whether there's a bit more to their friendly bond that meets the eye.
I'm still not sure how I feel about Akabane yet, although it is a little funny to see her completely oblivious to everything that's going on around her.
Definitely not short of comical moments—and also twists that I did not see coming at all—Honeko Akabane's Bodyguards' first volume is definitely an interesting start and I'm very curious to see how this develops.
