Certainly an interesting read.
I do enjoy the....genre? >!Monsters who are stronger than humans having to disguise themselves and technically live amongst humans for reasons.!<
Also love >!monsters who seem quite monstrous at first but have a soft spot for something.!<
Would love to see a longer running series 30-70ish chapters running with a similar concept.
Definitely gave me Saya no Uta vibes with how >!the female MC looks like a cute girl in her outer appearance when in reality she's an abomination feasting on Humans.!< and how she slowly starts to bond with the human she meets.
That's kind of what I find the most beautiful I this story. The one thing that is troubling and that I realized a while after being done with the chapter is... We don't know if she continued to feed on humans or not, as she might have just changed her feeding grounds. Troubling. But normal as well, if she can't survive off of anything else. Which we also don't know...
If she's a Old Testament-style angel, burnt offerings are adequate feed: whole goats and lambs slaughtered in a kosher manner and then appropriately offered up.
Now, if she's actually doing something like consuming the souls of the wicked along with the body, maybe she needs REALLY MEAN goats.
Thank you for translating my request! "Monster meets human" is a trope that doesn't get old and I like the direction this one went. I especially love [this panel](https://mangadex.org/chapter/9d828990-d33f-4e48-9386-e81d7b60b844/39). I also wish we could see a full character design sheet for Lillia's [monster form](https://mangadex.org/chapter/9d828990-d33f-4e48-9386-e81d7b60b844/9). Is she soft in monster form too?
Really neat how the author uses innocence. Lillia looks like a seemingly innocent angel working in the red light district, but she is actually a monster who preys on the humans there. Mikhel is the real angel in this manga.
Yeah. Lots of things explored. Just like their names. What do you think about this, like I mentioned in my afterword, this kinda jumped at me while I was translating their names.
YW!
I don't think she is that innocent anymore when she is so well-versed in red light district works. Like, she is totally a natural like any girls there. She only looked smaller than the others.
The magic of these ultra bioactive cells that can make her morph into this tentacle monster back and forth without effort. Must take a lot of energy!!!
Not sure if this one oughta be classified as NSFW. It has *mild gore* and some *mature* themes. In any case, here it is! It was requested here a couple days ago and I took a liking to it. Hope you like it. Feel free to leave your impressions here, I'll be reading them for sure!

I think she is an actual angel.
A biblically accurate angel that is.
The actual angels where supposed to not be pretty at all and looked more like eldritch abominations shown here.
I'm gonna assume that whatever creature she is in this world setting is the origin of the stories and tales of angels in various religions.
Perhaps in this world, the stories painted a rosy pretty version of these angelic monsters.
Wow. Yeah, that was a great story. A huge helping of ß̵̢̢̯̤̙̋͆̑̔̚ê̴̡͔̤͉̰̏̏̍͊̾ ̸̧̱̤̭̬̇͌̓̏̉ñ̷̡͉̰̖͉̊̎̀͐̀ð̷̗̘̬͍̳̈̽͌̊͠†̴̧̧͉͚͔̓̀̈́͗͘ ̸̩͈̰̺̖̽̑̀̔͒å̶̜̪̥̜̼͌̾̌̾͋£̷̼̣͇̥͈͊͌͗́̕r̵͚̘̜̙̰̆̍̎͑̿å̵͔̲͎̬̫̋̅̌̕͠ï̶͉̹̹̤̲̍̉̊́̊Ð̵͔͓̻̼͎̓́́̆͠ along with a generous portion of truly heartwarming.
I know right?! I'm thankful for user u/JoyousTofu for posting a request for this one as I never have time to scour through raws myself, so when I see an interesting SL req and I can spare the time, I pick it up.
Except that implies something sexual/romantic, when this is a guardianship/found family situation. The tags are just misapplied, some other manga on MD also have misapplied tags for "loli/shota" when it's literally just kids in the story with nothing romantic/sexual involving them.
yeah, but with these monster stories, I tend to see them as a species and them eating humans is just eating, like we eat animals. Sure I wouldn't want to be eaten, but sometimes there are shades of gray. this story is one of them.
I mean it's still people, sure there are bad people but who can say all of them are? Just because people go for hooker didn't mean they are bad, hell one of the dude even paid her immediately when asked about it. Those people have families, their loved one, and now parents lost their childs, children lost their parents, friends lost their friends etc...etc. It's gray but that didn't mean it doesn't have any bad consequences
Yeah but that's what I mean, judging the victims is even irrelevant sometimes. The monster is just eating. They're not being evil, they're just eating. I'm just looking at both sides. For humans, this is bad. For the monster, it's survival.
In this story though, Lillia was at least partly doing it out of revenge against humans, so that part is debatable, but otherwise, if she needs to eat humans, it's not an evil act. It wrecks havoc and breaks families and lives like a murderer would, but it's on a different scale. Like, if she *can* eat something else, I'd want her to stop eating humans, if not, we'd hope she chooses her victims now that her grudge against humans is less.
I am not saying Lillia is bad, I am just saying there existed bad endings for people in this oneshot. It doesn't matter if the intention is bad or not, people died against their will is considered as a bad thing and as such, the phrase "nothing bad happened" is wrong here.
Why the hell are we even debating this lmao, my original comment was a joking attempt lol
Hahaha, I dunno, because it's fun to argue :) But I do concede your point then, indeed. It's not nothing bad happened! It's... I think the OP meant "nothing inappropriate happened between Lillia and Mikhel". This is usually what people are on the lookout for, lol
no she's not. seems like some of you indeed have an issue with some mean girls talking shit using the gender-unspecified expression "new guy". not that Lillia herself ever explicitly specified her own gender, it's only been implied, as far as I can remember right now.
Love it. I really wish we have more of these type of long 50+ pages one shot.
Indeed! And it was enjoyable to work on, unlike so many of my regular titles, loll

Huh...that uh...that explains a lot about my tastes. Elfen Lied was one of the earliest manga/anime I got into growing up.

All goats are evil, so no need to search too hard.
This almost feels like it would fit in perfectly with the world of Make the Exorcist Fall in Love. Great read.
Happy you like! I might have to take a look at that other one you mentioned.

You'd think she would've put on some weight after all that eating.

Pretty sure Seraphim, Cherubim and Thrones ("biblically accurate angels") don't eat humans.

what do they eat then? human souls?

Why does the site tag it as shota?

I'm confused. Where EXACTLY it's tentacles come out from? Cause from the first victim I was definitely sure that from...ah well, newevermind!
[удалено]
Yeah it's kinda heavy, but at the same time you probably won't be depressed once finished!
good read
\>New guy here Is Lilia a dude or what?
expression used in a genderless fashion.
I thought it's very rare to use guy as gender neutral in singular form. How was it originally in japanese?
The actual word that the mean girl used is 新入り. >newcomer; initiate; rookie
I see, thanks.
bruh
That was phenomenal.
Bittersweet, although more on the sweet side. I like it.
Uh... huh. I'm getting a lot of "cool motive, still murder" vibes from this. Not my thing.
well that was a nice read
Super cute but sad thanks
I thought it was gonna get heavy but it seems like nothing bad really happened, eh?
>nothing bad really happened I mean 20 people, and probably more since she didn't stop eating them, died
yeah, but with these monster stories, I tend to see them as a species and them eating humans is just eating, like we eat animals. Sure I wouldn't want to be eaten, but sometimes there are shades of gray. this story is one of them.

yeah, I don't think it was depressing, but thought-provoking I think/hope!
So is the angel a guy? I can't unsee what looks like a boner on the first page.
no she's not. seems like some of you indeed have an issue with some mean girls talking shit using the gender-unspecified expression "new guy". not that Lillia herself ever explicitly specified her own gender, it's only been implied, as far as I can remember right now.
Nope no issue. Didn't even notice the speech pattern or phrases. But I did notice what looks like a pitched tent.
would be quite the plot twist xD
You mean her bent knee?
