Latin is a drama story about an android maid discarded by her former owners and repaired by a lonely man. Yuki no Nestore is an action story about a monster boy(?) repairing a giant robot and a miniature fairy who feels worthless but befriends him. Nekomatasou no Shokutaku is a slice-of-life story about a depressed college student living with a bunch of nekomata who live among humans. Reversi is a drama story of a devil at Demon Academy making friends with an angel transfer student.

Despite the uniqueness and individuality of each of these four stories (both in terms of their settings and the way they unfold), there are common elements in each. For instance, in each story, at least one of the main characters has some degree of self-loathing or feeling of inadequacy that he or she clearly must overcome. Also in each story, at least to some extent, the author sets the elements for a "forbidden love" tale, though the format of each story leaves little room for their exploration. I want to say that both of these are themes prevalent throughout Takabatake Enaga's works, at least those that have been translated.

Takabatake Enaga's unique art style shines through in all these tales. I've not really been able to adequately describe what the characters' faces look like. They're definitely in a shonen style, but I feel like there are elements of shojo, particularly in the way facial blushing was applied. I'm always reminded of the look of fabric dolls.

Latin is a very touching anthology, well worth reading.

It really shows how great a mangaka is when they can create varied stories with very good art.

Every one of the oneshots could have been a stand-alone series as they were all interesting in my opinion.

My one complaint is that the plot format for each oneshot felt similar.
