adorable and easy reading, kinda cliché but actually enjoyable and kinda funny lol, first and last is the best story i think
Yeah..... the art isn't great and the stories are sooooooo underdeveloped.
HUGE NOTE: the cover art looks NOTHING like the art for the actual manga. Just sayin'.
I agree with kurosu_yuuki: "I'm not rating it because I wouldn't know what criteria to use."

Couldn't even read the second chapter. How the hell do two dudes go from not knowing each other to screwing each other in a day when we're given no hint that either is gay, either is looking for sex/a relationship, either is into the other or anything until literally a page or so before they're screwing. Omg this one hurts my brain. I hope this was meant as a joke.
The fake-out was even worse. If he's not supposed to be able to lie then (spoilers) how does falling for a dude and then immediately saying "I hate you" not count as a lie? I wish he had died because of it.
And seriously this was the most rushed romance I've ever read even compared to one-shots. At least those normally include some time progression. F**king hell. The only reason I give it a 2 is because the art is decent. Only reason i read the whole chapter.
TL;DR: STAY AWAY FROM THIS MANGA!!!! IT WILL ROT YOUR BRAIN!

Not the best plot i've ever read, but all the stories were cute and funny ^^
Some of them had too much going on for the length of the chapter, but they were still understandable.
Very yaoi-fantasy stories not only for the firsts chapters, but for the last one too. Things that only happend in manga hahaha cute indeed u.u

Although the rest of the art is decent, with all the silly, silly PWP stories, the art would have had to been outstanding to make it worth a read.
I think I wished it was better because I have such a crush on mermen stories and yet there are so few. So that made my disappointment stronger.

Okay seriously... even as much as I'm dying for mermans, this is a bit...
First off, the story's way too shallow, despite the art being that bit better than deviantart comics, the story felt exactly the same. Some amateur's undeveloped idea that I highly suspect came out of daydreaming. Basically means, it sucks.
The art is not at a manga level either. Well... it's not horrible and unreadable... but there really isn't anything that stands out. Again, only at deviantart level. That is, comic level and not regular art level.
If the art was drop dead georgeous, I can ignore most flaws with story, but in this case, neither made up. The expressions are unnatural, flow is weird, I can't pick out a place where I don't think it's some random comic.
Well, in any case, I can only sum it up with saying this is plain amateurish. Reeks of comics and not mangas. And one thing, I would not compare it to webcomics, meaning the korean ones, they give off a different feel.

This manga was pretty bad. The stories had their cliche potential to arouse an 'awww' from me, but instead i was left high and dry as the stores ended far too quickly and very unsatisfyingly. Although depicating the charecters as animals was rather endearing, this manga failed to attract my attention and keep me entertained. Thus i felt disappointed and annoyed with such a mediocre plot. If it hadn't been for my inability to study, i would have completely not finished reading this manga but of course i had chose to procrastinate.
i laughed all the way while reading this. forte for readers who prefer light yaoi, but don't expect from this manga too much as it is only a collection of short stories, but i'll still recommend readers to read this. it's cute so to say~

Every story was too short for my taste ^^: but i do love the comedy aspect of this manga, it makes every story highly entertaining (last chapter last page for example, that pretty much killed me a bit XD). I like this mangaka's works, i like comedy mixed with yaoi and the art style is interesting, its playful and i like that about it ^^
If you're in for light commedy, I recommend this. the first few pages already had me laughing! From the part where the boss kept insisting on how the guy made it in time..

Spoiler (highlight to view)
I thought he would just find his way out but he actually revealed that he was a merman HAHAHA and to top that off the boss' reaction was genius XD "amazing, is this genuine?" LOL what an unusual reaction. Its like seeing mona lisa right infront of you.."is that real??" I'm glad it wasn't a cliche reaction where the latter would either faint or run away.
anyway, that was probably the only yaoi story in the collection. The rest were BL's... Last updated on January 6th, 2011, 1:31pm
