I honestly find it hilarious how the author masterfully gave us 2-3 chapters of mugo's lore, fully immersing us in genuine storytelling. And then once that's done, they're like "anyway blah blah blah muhan passes on and they're together again! Happy days now" like they had every option to flesh this out but they just didnt care to lmao
Remembering what happened in the "main" manga (since this is a prequel) and the shit they did to the main couple. I declare all past and future war crimes of these two be dismissed
Alrighty but it's a spoiler lol
In the other manga, these two are the antagonists and it happens years later after these events. The other manga's MC is a witch that happened to also contract a cat familiar (his ML). Basically, Keigo (this manga's MC, now the gang's boss) has been trying to hunt another witch, and its later revealed that he's doing it so that he can transplant the heart of a witch to his dying foster dad (the same way his dad did to him). So its basically this manga's pair VS that manga's pair LOL. Eventually, Keigo lets them go (for reasons I cant remember). And because Natsumi (dog) and the other ML (cat) were killing each other a lot, they were left with one life each, to which they decided to live their last life to the fullest with their witches- or something like that. Personally, I like Keigo and Natsumi's story a hell lot more lol
Spoiler warning

Soo I read it, Sudou(Cat Familiar ML) had 5 lives left. Asakura (This Manga MC) wanted Uno(Other Male witch) to have a contract with his father(since cat has 9 lives) so he injected him with Dr*gs(He can do transplant too ya know like come on his father's maybe in his 50s or so). Later on someone reported that his father got shot after he left the hospital and is bleeding out. In that moment Uno(Kind Male witch) urged him to at least be with his father until his last breath, so yeah that's why the Main story lived [The witch and his cat familiar].
With Natsumi personality we know he won't ask Juichi nicely, but there might be "talk" between the two witch without Sudou interference. Why not Keigo who find the witch directly? That's cos only Natsumi as a dog who can smell another witch. I don't support these "villain" but I thought their action pretty obvious especially after this manga expand their personality
They keep running away are there time to ask? As I mentioned before with Natsumi personality "nice talk" isn't even option, he chase them down with his own will, there's no point in fighting Sudou but he did it anyway. Keigo only appeared after conflict started, even if he ask them without hotel incident the results would be same since they already contracted. Sudou would oppose it since it can harm Juichi and same thing will just happen again.
Why not from beginning? How Keigo recognize who is witch without Natsumi report? When he clearly chase them down for his own fun without reporting first?
Wow the author has really leveled up in terms of storytelling and character depth. Far cry from the racing one lol
Ban's self-destructive habits (and how it came to be) feels very realistic. Not the usual webtoon caricature but rooted in real psychological effects of being sexually abused. He's not just nonchalant for the sake of nonchalant, he is still finding an outlet for his suppressed feelings. And shinwi feeling gross but also worried reflected everything us readers felt about this chapter lol









HUHUHUHU BAAAAANNN :(((((((
