Coyote, Vol. 1 by Ranmaru Zariya

3.0

*Reread 7/15/2021*
Decided to give this series a second chance because I’ve really loved all of the other works I’ve read by Zariya. It’s weird that I read this less than a year ago, because my opinion has really changed.

While it wasn’t my favorite of Zariya’s works, I still enjoyed it. I still wasn’t super interested in the feud, but I was paying more attention this time around. Honestly my previous review wasn’t wrong, but I don’t think it’s boring anymore. I think the tone Zariya writes with is an acquired taste and I have finally acquired it. I wouldn’t say the characters don’t have personality, but then again I could not explain them for the life of me lol. I’m completely drawing a blank, but they’ve got the vibes y’know? I cared a lot more about them and heir relationship during this read though, and the art is honestly just so beautiful. I’m happy to read it just for that.

I’m glad I gave this a second chance because now I do like it enough to continue.

More of 2.5

Pretty predictable, a little weird and a little boring? The talk about the mob and the werewolf war wasn't all that interesting, but I liked the relationship enough. It's a starcrossed lovers, werewolf x werewolf hunter relationship. Coyote/Lili is cute, but he doesn't seem to have much of a personality so far. All he is right now is the shy werewolf bottom that for some reason gets into heat during the full moon? Then there's Josh/Marlene, who offers a little more character and a personality, but even then it's not much. It just doesn't feel like there's much substance, I guess. I don't know if I care enough to continue.
