My Review!
The Genre: For those who are not already aware, this is a Shotacon series. The first four chapters revolve around a preteen boy named Yuzu who becomes involved with a guy named Shuro, who is a few years older. In later chapters, however, the story becomes centered around Shuro's younger brother, Shiroka(tae) who is presumed to be around 5? And his later interest, Kuroha, who appears to be around Shuro's age.
The Translation: It is averagely translated in my opinion, some of the dialogue is awkward and there are a couple of instances when names are spelled differently, (possibly intentional?) But it is very understandable and you shouldn't have any trouble understanding the story.
The Plot: For the first few chapters, the story revolves around Yuzu who is a young village boy with many sisters. It is around the time when the Tetsugome Zorainu (Iron Rice Dog) is supposed to choose his bride for the year. While doing all the work for his family, Yuzu is discovered by what is assumed to be the Tetsugome Zorainu, Shuro, and it immediately becomes clear that Shuro is interested in Yuzu. Though it becomes obvious a while later, not everything is so simple as Yuzu being a willing bride, and not everything is as Shuro claimed.
The second half of the story revolves around Shiroka who is Shuro's younger brother, and a crow Tengu named Kuroha who he, Shuro, Shiroka, and Yuzu live with. Since Shiroka only knows the Fox language and is unable to verbally communicate with anyone but Shuro, Kuroha often teases and bullies Shiroka, but as the story progresses, they develop mutual feelings for each other.
Artwork: The artwork is of a very cute style and the outfits each of the characters wear are very interesting to say the least, they're traditional but also very fantasy-like. Some of the things KAMEI has drawn in are very fascinating, such as the wings in Kuroha's hair!
Graphic level: This story contains 18+ scenes which aren't for everyone, as they do contain minors! However, these scenes aren't excessively graphic; the actual penetrations are hardly seen and the artist seems to prefer leaving most of it to your imagination.
My Opinion: It's one of my favorites, I love the setting and the characters, which of, are all memorable. The plot though, falters after the first four chapters, becoming less linear and more about the relationship of Kuroha and Shirotae (which isn't a totally bad thing) but there is not consistent overall plot that encases all the chapters into a whole apart from Shiro's and Kuroha's relationship growing. This being said, there is no clear resolution to the story and the 'final chapter' left me wishing there was some last scene that tied the story up, but it just kinda ends out of nowhere.
I recommend this to everyone who doesn't mind Shotacon!
