Since there's hardly any information on this manga, I thought I'd better do a review^^ (btw, I've read the raws for all volumes, but only 17 chapters in english)

Dear is a mixture of romance, a very small bit of drama, comedy and action, with an art that keeps getting better with each volume.

The two first volumes are what make most people give up, because they revolve around the plot described in the synopsis (Chiruha and her secret, Kisara and his grudge). After that it gets much better. Another five main characters (from the prequel) are introduced, each with problems that will end up uniting them ... all. The interaction between them is funny and cute, and the romance is very nice as well. A bit later in the story even villains will appear.

So if you were thinking of droping this because of the initial plot, read a bit more and you'll probably enjoy it!

Watashi no Ookami-san (the prequel) has 2 main plotlines. The first plot line (Watashi no ookami-san) is the story about this overpowered Demon Lord Who decides to quit being the demon lord to be with his one true love a lvl 0 Heroine. Who wants to defeat the demon lord. Watashi no Ookami-san is pretty nice in of the characters. I thought the Demon lord teasing the heroine was cute and her tsundere Behavior was adorable as well. Komomo(the heroine) wants to actually make enough money so she can live in her own house. She is one of those extremely frugal and poor ... person. Being Lvl 0 is tough man. Most of there story is about there hijinks together.

Dear (The sequel) is the series about 2 monsters. Chiruha is a lycanthrope who lived alone most of her life. decides to descend to the city to finally talk to humans. She is cute, she is adorable and has a very likeable personalty. The tsundere Kirara is her main love interest. He can regenerate any wound, works for a special police unit that deals with demons and is considered a monster by his peers. The series is also about this clumsy type heroine known as the general. Alongside 2 very strong characters however their relationship is not romantic. These 3 are the servants of the Demon lord and go and find him and stuff. Basically the series is about these 7 characters doing shit.

Now both of these characters do meet as it is a sequel. In fact i recommend reading the first 2 volumes of Dear then reading Watashi no ookami-san and then going back into Dear. I enjoyed the characters. They all had this unique sense of style and their personality was either likeable or adorable. Both which made the banter involved very engaging and funny. However though i enjoyed the beginning which established the series. I didn't really enjoy the slice of life elements that goes on and on till volume 8. The jokes though funny got boring after a while. The author didn't really use the characters to there full potential till much much later. And some potential wasn't utilized at all. The SOL elements were fine but honestly it missed way to many time.

Vol.8 onwards though this series became serious. The author decided ok, I want to write something thats really entertaining and she does. The story takes a darker path. Characters have to make life changing decisions. Everyone is pouring there feelings. and i really really liked it. The action also is somewhat fun but really after volume 8. Action before vol. 8 wasn't all that good. However once again there is downtime around vol. 11 but it picks up again. The ending however does feel rushed like every other manga ever. I do think it would've been better if the author went a more darker approach but i guess this is good enough

TLDR: Beginning was good, middle was weak but the payoff is somewhat worth it. 6/10 generally fun. Also Chiruha is the best waifu and i will crush in warcraft 3 if you think otherwise.
