Kissed by the Baddest Bidder: Ota Kisaki Sequel Review

KBTBB Ota Kisaki S1 sequel

Story Basis:
Your relationship with Ota is going steady and your life couldn't be any sweeter now that you know he's serious about you. Still the same devilish and mischievous angel, you worry his continual involvement with the auctions could ruin his career.  

After talking to him about your worries, Ota agrees to step down as an auction manager to put your mind at ease. But after reviewing the list of items for the coming up, Ota goes back on his promise to you. 

What is on that auction list that made Ota changed his mind? 

His Personality:
Ota's certainly more nice and sweet towards you, and he doesn't call you 'Koro' as often anymore. He treats you as his girlfriend instead of his pet 🐢 which shows that - not only did he move on from the definite line of 'master-pet' relationship - he's accepted you as someone he  as a person who will never betray him.

He's more passionate about his art now and starts to hold value to his art pieces (i.e. the art piece he made for you). He takes you out on dates ('walks') and invite you to come to work with him and his studio simply because he wants to spend time with you.

Slowly, he can't seem to resist your charms and he blushes quite easily 😳 when you compliment him. He's a bit more open to you now and easily talk to you about his childhood memories.


He's cheeky and can't resist pulling pranks on you because you're so gullible. Evidently in his childhood, he has always been a trickster 😜 pulling the biggest prank in elementary which - incidentally - became his one of his masterpieces.

Ota is still sensitive about his past with his mentor and the plagiarism issue. He will completely shut down talks about it whenever someone brings it up. He won't talk about his mentor to anyone but he doesn't mind talking about to you - which shows you're the only person he's comfortable around.

Despite feeling he can trust you, Ota still fears betrayal and he has nightmares of you betraying and leaving him just like his mentor did in the past.


While he does talk to you about some things, he still puts you at a distance most like because he believes you could betray him like his mentor.



*** Be warned for any spoilers ***


Overall Opinion:
While there isn't much of a plot development in his sequel, Ota's character certainly has improved for the better since his main story. The whole purpose of his sequel is focused on his character development, and facing and moving on from his past with his mentor.

I really enjoyed his sequel because we got to see a much sweeter side to Ota 😊 especially when he's with the MC. You can tell he genuinely loves and cares for her from the way he treats her. Most evidently when he shifted their relationship from master-pet 🐢to boyfriend-girlfriend πŸ‘«.

He's still playing on the whole 'pet' concept but he doesn't call her 'Koro' as often as he did in his main story. The MC's not bothered by it either because she knows how serious he is about her.

Ota's found inspiration in the MC and has become more passionate about his art. He usually gets rid of his art pieces because he doesn't have any attachments to them and sells them through the auctions or other ways. He kept the art piece he made for the MC from the main story because it marks the beginning of their relationship.


I found it really sweet how he considered the MC's feelings about him being a part of the auctions and decided to quit for her πŸ‘. She has bad memories about the auctions ~ I mean literally anyone would have bad memories of being sold in an auction ~ but is mostly worried his career would be ruined if he gets caught.



As impressed as you are that Ota easily agreed to quit for you πŸ‘, he's also quick to disappoint you when he goes back on his word 😞. The writers really touched on the fact Ota never really had a purpose for joining the auctions and now he does.

The MC figures Ota's reason for being a part of this particular auction has something to do with his mentor. She doesn't accept it when he avoids it entirely and tell her it's not her concern. When push comes to shove, she takes it into her own hands to help him face his past ~ and it doesn't fail to get her into trouble 😩. Why am I not surprised? 

For a while, Ota kept her at a distance because he still has that distrust and fear of betrayal. The fact he still has trust issues is rooted in his inability to face his past.



I loved how the writers approach the whole 'facing your past' concept. Because no matter how many times you convince yourself you've moved on from it, deep down you're still bothered by it. The MC is one of those factors who help you face your past. Some things are best left alone but it's better to face your past before you end up regretting it.

The MC really understand Ota as a person just by observing the way he talks about his mentor. She knows he has some unfinished business to clean up and pushes him to get the closure he needs. This really brought the two of them closer as a couple and Ota was able to grow as a character because of the MC.



It's always good to respect your significant other's boundaries but it really sets up a wall between you. So I'm glad they were able to break it.

If you enjoyed his main story then you'll most definitely enjoy his sequel. If you're still not sure just from reading his main story then I still suggest giving his sequel a try because you start to see how much he grows in this one. The whole master-pet thing is not as heavy as it was in the main story but more playful.

Happy playing!


Overall score: 8/10

You are welcome to read my review on his overall personality and character development  from my general opinion post (which I will post at a later date). I will also post reviews on his other stories soon. Stay tuned for updates.
