Finder Deluxe Edition: Embrace, Vol. 12 (12) Paperback – July 11, 2023

The book came in great condition and the story is great as well. I have been reading this book for years so I was super excited to get the 13th volume.

How long I have waited for Vol. 12 to drop for Kindle, and at last it is here! I gobbled it up so fast I'm totally unsatisfied and craving more, it simply was too short. Finally, Asami and Akihito are reunited only for Asami to be attacked by his love who has been played with and altered to kill Asami. So angry about this and am seriously hoping for an Asami-style bloodbath when Asami catches the ones who did it. Still not liking that Mikhail is sexing my man Fei Long but that's the manganka's choice. But I did love his reunion with Akihito as well. I also loved that there was still some classic childish Akihito moments in this as well. Finally, I want the whole series animated but especially that isekai crossover I absolutely loved it!!!! Please come on volumes13-25!!!

The series took a new turn in this volume. It takes place in Europe and reveals things about Asami's past that we didn't know before. And we get a new villain!Asami's and Akihito's relationship is in jeopardy because of Akihito's injuries. But Asami has grown a lot during the course of the story and he's not about to abandon Akihito. The ending gives hope that he'll be successful in saving them too. Luckily there's no cliffhanger ending this time, so the wait for the next volume being translated isn't an agony.The changes in the way some characters like Fei Long are drawn--what's with the shorter hair and middle-aged look all of a sudden?--seems permanent. A great disappointment.

Listen, by this point in the series, you know if this is for you or not. I for one am excited for an official, new volume if my problematic faves. I enjoyed the help out of this just like every other volume.

Ayano Yamane is amazing, and I love her storytelling. Her art is gorgeous, and if it weren't for the censoring of certain body parts, I'd love it even more, LOL. No spoilers, just get your own copy!

This is a great love story and it keeps you not only entertained but interested.

I’ve been following this series for years, and I’m honestly impressed with how Ayano Yamane is able to keep it fresh and interesting. Volume 12 picked up immediately where Volume 11’s cliffhanger left and doesn’t let up until the very end. The universe keeps throwing crap at Akihito; poor guy never seems to catch a break! I won’t spoil too much but things start turning around for the better towards the end. But this new villain, Dr. Simon, is looking to be one of their most dangerous adversaries yet. Hopefully Asami can keep Akihito safe.And wow, MAJOR props to the author for actually making me feel sorry for Sudo. He’s so despicable, but his fate in this volume is just so awful that I can’t even call it karma.I’m also very pleased see that Ayano Yamane appears to be moving forward with the Mikhail/Fei Long ship, though they only show up briefly here. I hope to see more of them in future volumes. 😊Overall this was a great volume and I would highly recommend. Oh, and if you’re a fan of Crimson Spell you’ll get a kick out of one of the stories here.

I cant get enough of this series and hope it goes on and on and on. I love the story, artwork and everything that is written by Ayano Yamane. Thank you Ayano Yamane for your exciting story's.
