Nios and Castio were so cute， and I really want to see more of them， hopefully there will be another volume！ ANd our main characters， Volks and O'Feuille， were so entertaining and i would also love to see their relationship developing into something more deeper than already it is！ Nios and Castio were so cute， and I really want to see more of them， hopefully there will be another volume！ ANd our main characters， Volks and O'Feuille， were so entertaining and i would also love to see their relationship developing into something more deeper than already it is！ 。。。more

Unless you need cute cat drawings in your life， don't botherIt took me a minute to realize why this manga was so dissatisfying。 As Hirohiko Araki puts it， successful manga focus on the authentic feelings of the main characters; the characters inner development， and the emotional growth that goes along with it， drive or are more important than the plot。 Albeit the plot has its own importance， it’s not the essence of manga。 In “The Treasure of the King and the Cat，” it’s all about plot。 Meanwhile， Unless you need cute cat drawings in your life， don't botherIt took me a minute to realize why this manga was so dissatisfying。 As Hirohiko Araki puts it， successful manga focus on the authentic feelings of the main characters; the characters inner development， and the emotional growth that goes along with it， drive or are more important than the plot。 Albeit the plot has its own importance， it’s not the essence of manga。 In “The Treasure of the King and the Cat，” it’s all about plot。 Meanwhile， the figures are cardboard cutouts attached to popsicle sticks being waved in the air spouting random bits of dialogue。 In the best manga， even the ones that are super tropey， when I’m done I feel I’ve got to know someone。 That so doesn’t happen in this one。There’s a handful of cute scenes， some groan-worthy jokes， and that’s about all in this comedy/fantasy BL wannabe。The comedy is lame， and we’re told more of the plot than we actually experience。 What we do experience is hackneyed and cliched， with little to hold your attention。 Some dialogue sentences are so long and obtuse that you’re cross-eyed and bleary before you reach a period。 The world-building seems to be improvised at every turn， resulting in a huge， impossible to follow magic system that is nothing but a convoluted mess。 In the afterward， the mangaka admits this manga is “half-assed” and she’s right。In short， this manga is a Big Yawn Fest。 As for the art: There’s a tedious overuse of a medium gray screen-tone （about a #6-7 on a 10 level gray scale） that ends up competing with the ample white space left on most pages by the artist。 It would have worked much better had the artist skillfully contrasted a greater range of blacks， grays and whites since the eye is more attuned to decoding contrasting values。 Of course， this points to a lack of compositional skill， too， as you can have a good composition go bad from the poor placement of values。 But in You’s case， on a number of pages， the underlying compositional design lacks a dominant motif， a visual organizing principle。 Typically， an artist composes a design or layout using visual tensions as dynamic elements in an overarching visual hierarchy。 Instead， in this manga these tensions end up being a cacophony of lines， textures， and values all of which try to call attention to themselves rather than contributing to a greater unity。Bottom line？ No need to bother with this book unless you really like cute cat drawings。 。。。more

Such an interesting story but I would've loved more background info about all the characters。 We got a bit but not enough in my opinion。 The cat curse was so cute。 I just love seeing cats in mangas， they're always so adorably drawn， and here it was just like that！I wanted more love between the obvious couples but maybe we'll get more in the future？ I would definitely read more about these characters。 Such an interesting story but I would've loved more background info about all the characters。 We got a bit but not enough in my opinion。 The cat curse was so cute。 I just love seeing cats in mangas， they're always so adorably drawn， and here it was just like that！I wanted more love between the obvious couples but maybe we'll get more in the future？ I would definitely read more about these characters。 。。。more

The Treasure of the King and the Cat is actually more fantasy than boys' love， which is interesting actually。 Still， cats are overrated。 In this mythical land people disappear and it seems that there are more cats due to it。 Pretty boy King Castio starts to investigate this together with a wizard and his servant only to find out that there's truly a culprit who wants everyone to turn into cats and a mysterious mask is the one to do it。 I didn't really understand the whole cat scenario and it did The Treasure of the King and the Cat is actually more fantasy than boys' love， which is interesting actually。 Still， cats are overrated。 In this mythical land people disappear and it seems that there are more cats due to it。 Pretty boy King Castio starts to investigate this together with a wizard and his servant only to find out that there's truly a culprit who wants everyone to turn into cats and a mysterious mask is the one to do it。 I didn't really understand the whole cat scenario and it didn't help that we keep seeing cat butts and one of the characters jiggling the cat's balls。 The whole thing would've needed more pages to work out better and there was no need for the boys' love either。 The plot was interesting though， same as the setting。 Thus the potential was there。The art works out nicely， it's nothing miraculous， but OK。 One book just isn't enough for a story like this and that's sad， since I would've liked to know more about the characters and the world。 Fantasy as a genre is hard like that especially since this isn't isekai， but a sword and magic kind of fantasy。 Still， refreshing as a boys' love manga。 。。。more

The Treasure of the King and the Cat is a cute and funny manga full of epic fantasy feels and fascinating characters。 There's interesting relationship dynamics， such as half-elf wizard O'Feuille and his apprentice Volks， who's also a prince to a kingdom ruled by his twin King Castio。 Volks is absolutely taken by O'Feuille and many hilarious moments ensue when Volks tries to charm him or declares his loyalty while O'Feuille tries to play it cool。 King Castio also has a royal retainer， Nios， with The Treasure of the King and the Cat is a cute and funny manga full of epic fantasy feels and fascinating characters。 There's interesting relationship dynamics， such as half-elf wizard O'Feuille and his apprentice Volks， who's also a prince to a kingdom ruled by his twin King Castio。 Volks is absolutely taken by O'Feuille and many hilarious moments ensue when Volks tries to charm him or declares his loyalty while O'Feuille tries to play it cool。 King Castio also has a royal retainer， Nios， with whom he has been close ever since childhood。However， there are quite few things left unresolved， including the possibly romantic relationships between O'Feuille and Volks， and Castio and Nios。 This is a BL manga， but it feels like its trying to appeal to wider audience by withholding relationship development。 It would be much better if the relationships were clearly acknowledged on page instead of heavily hinted at， because now the story feels unfinished。 It is still enjoyable and fun， but does not manage to fulfil it potential。 （A copy of this ebook was provided in return for an honest review。） 。。。more

One might ask whether this is a BL in a fantasy setting or a fantasy story with BL elements。 I say this because the BL is very subtle here and for some people， it might be not enough to satisfy their BL cravings。 I personally don't care because it's refreshing to read a story where the romance is not the main plot。 It's a cute story and it entertained me。 I'd love to read more about the characters and their journey and relationships。4。5 stars。 One might ask whether this is a BL in a fantasy setting or a fantasy story with BL elements。 I say this because the BL is very subtle here and for some people， it might be not enough to satisfy their BL cravings。 I personally don't care because it's refreshing to read a story where the romance is not the main plot。 It's a cute story and it entertained me。 I'd love to read more about the characters and their journey and relationships。4。5 stars。 。。。more

Sorry but I did not enjoy this one， despite the fact that it has very beautiful art。 The story dragged， and it was really confusing。 There are some small hints of it evolving into a BL series but not much character development in that regard other than a few crude jokes （it's also really weird and a little creepy that one of the two couples had known each other since one of them was a little kid and the other one is basically immortal， or at least really， really old）。 Sorry but I did not enjoy this one， despite the fact that it has very beautiful art。 The story dragged， and it was really confusing。 There are some small hints of it evolving into a BL series but not much character development in that regard other than a few crude jokes （it's also really weird and a little creepy that one of the two couples had known each other since one of them was a little kid and the other one is basically immortal， or at least really， really old）。 。。。more

This manga was very weird， but in a good way。 The first story I liked more than the second （although it was shorter）， but I really enjoyed it。 Not being a big fan of kittens， I loved seeing a lot of them in the second story。I wanted to see more of the relationship between King Castio and Nios， as well as seeing more kisses between prince Volks and Feuille。Thanks Netgalley and TokyoPop （LOVE X LOVE） for allowing me to read an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review！ :）

Rating: 3。5 starsThis manga is so weird and goofy， haha。 It's got a strong epic fantasy element， but definitely doesn't take itself too seriously。 The art is fun and cute。 The comic is divided up into two storylines， the title story and another before it that seems to be completely unrelated aside from having the same pair of main characters。 I feel like this is in a weird place of having too much BL （boy love， or M/M romance） for the folks who don't like that kind of thing， but not enough of it Rating: 3。5 starsThis manga is so weird and goofy， haha。 It's got a strong epic fantasy element， but definitely doesn't take itself too seriously。 The art is fun and cute。 The comic is divided up into two storylines， the title story and another before it that seems to be completely unrelated aside from having the same pair of main characters。 I feel like this is in a weird place of having too much BL （boy love， or M/M romance） for the folks who don't like that kind of thing， but not enough of it for those that do。 There's a bit of a romance subplot trying to happen between O'Feuille and Volks， and also between Castio and Nios， but there's not really any actual plot/storyline dedicated to developing those the romance/relationships - it's more little scraps of fan-service。 It seems like by maybe trying to appeal to a broader audience they may have missed the mark with both， but that's just my take。 The chemistry between both pairings is really great， and I'd have loved to see more space dedicated to fleshing that out more。 。。。more

Disclaimer: I received an ARC of this book in exchange of an honest review。 This was a short very lowkey BL which is an MM romance basically， there is nothing graphic and was basically a collection of a couple adventures within that world。 Follow the same main two characters （or three if you count the magical cat）。I enjoyed it， but did not love it， I would not pick this back up to read it again and I was not in love with the characters， to me there was a lack of character development and world b Disclaimer: I received an ARC of this book in exchange of an honest review。 This was a short very lowkey BL which is an MM romance basically， there is nothing graphic and was basically a collection of a couple adventures within that world。 Follow the same main two characters （or three if you count the magical cat）。I enjoyed it， but did not love it， I would not pick this back up to read it again and I was not in love with the characters， to me there was a lack of character development and world building which affected how much I enjoyed myself while reading this manga。I found a lot of things sort of inconsequential and boring， events always happened too fast or too slow in my opinion。 There wasn't a perfect tempo to it。 However it was a fast read and the illustrative style was beautiful。Overall a meh read。 Nothing I will remember fondly， pretty forgettable as far as storyline。 3/5 stars Bookarina 。。。more
