To Take An Enemy’s Heart Volume 1 (TO TAKE AN ENEMYS HEART GN)

I haven't been this excited for a new yaoi release in a long time! The plot is that a cruel lord has taken vengeance on another family, murdering everyone except the youngest son. He takes the young man as his slave to torture him, but doesn't tell him he is the one that murdered his family. The evil lord's main goal is to make the boy fall in love with him and then stab him in the back by revealing his true identity just before killing him. Of course, though, they fall in love...The art is beautiful. The characters all have long, flowing hair and the author has done a fantastic job creating an original wintry landscape with unique costume designs for her characters. The art is by far the best thing about this manhwa.I did dislike some of the writing and translation choices, though. The chapters often end on dramatic cliffhangers, but in the next chapter those major ordeals are swept aside as if they were never a problem to begin with. It's like there are gaps between each chapter, in which you don't see what is happening. For example, one chapter ends with an armed assassin suddenly appearing behind the evil lord, who is all alone outside without his guards. Cliffhanger! But the next chapter begins with that same assassin stripped of his sword and shirt, beaten and bound, lying at the feet of the lord's men. How did that happen? You never find out.In volume one, it is also not explained why the cruel lord wanted vengeance on that family to begin with. I'm hoping that will be explained eventually, but the writing isn't the greatest, so I have some doubts. Still, as cruel and awful as the lord seems, it appears his new slave is carving a path to his icy heart, so I want to read more.I enjoyed the manhwa a lot. It is pretty violent, especially in the beginning, as the author builds her seme up to be a horrible person. But he occasionally shows a bit of humanity. I look forward to seeing him develop into an actually caring person. Hopefully.

The story is really good and the art as well! I read it online first and that convinced me to buy it, however I’m giving it 4 stars because my manga came slightly damaged

I don’t remember what I was expecting when I ordered this, but the story itself was so well written that I am still in that just finished a series state. This is such a roller coaster of emotions and every chapter just gets better and better.

Loved it I remember reading this and falling in love with the art and the plot I wanted to buy a physical copy afterwards because this is one of my favorite bl books. The cover is just chiefs kiss beautiful 💖💖

I really like this book and decided to buy the manga it came in a really good condition

Soooooooo good and the art is simply magnificent. I have 1 & 2! 3 & 4 are coming next week. 5 & 6 on pre order and waiting for 7 & 8 to buy as well!

I love this yaoi series and want to own all the books in the series. However I am running out of room to put books in my house. I wish there was a kindle version so I could get all the books in the series without having to weed out books in my collection to make more room for paperback books on my shelves.

I do love the series its a great read. I love the interaction between all the characters especially Igen and Kassan. I am looking forward to getting all the manhwa mangas of this series.

Good yaoi manga.

love to book and the art

Story is nice, something different but not really logical either.Artwork is nice but women and men look the same. Same face shape, same hairstyle,...Couldn't be more androgynous.

Me encanta la historia, el dibujo, es una maravilla, hoy he comprado el volumen 3 y 4 y he visto que en el volumen 4 acaba en el capítulo 28 de la obra, que en total son 66 capítulos, entonces si quedan dos tomos sólo por salir, entonces no me cuadra que en sólo dos tomos más vayan a meter 38 capítulos. Espero que por favor no lo dejen a medias, y lo saquen completo ya que es un manhwa finalizado.
