6. Who Wants to Marry a Billionaire? vol. 1
Date published: May 22, 2022
I review the first volume of this erotic thriller.
I thought it was going to be another trash harem series for Seven Seas' mature Ghost Ship imprint. However, I reconsidered that thought when Seven Seas teased the front and back cover on socials. That's when I read the synopsis, sought out some more info, and realized, "Oh, it has a PLOT."

(NOTE: Who Wants to Marry a Billionare? is intended for a mature audience. 🔞)
7. Love & Heart vol. 1-5
Date published: November 29, 2022
I review the first five volumes of this dark and mature-rated romance series.
Love & Heart (Koi to Shinzou) by Chitose Kaido is a 10-volume romance/mystery/horror manga. Serialized on Hakushensha's Manga Park app from 2017 to 2021, Love & Heart is about a college frosh named Yoh Yagisawa and how her life got flipped upside down after reuniting with an old childhood friend and living with him. Yen Press is currently releasing the series in print and digital.
In summary, Love & Heart is successful at being a mystery romance with horror themes thus far, and I'm really enjoying the series. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, especially those who are sensitive to certain topics and themes, but if you're looking for a dark romance between young adults (both characters are 18), definitely read Love & Heart.
