Review:
This
is an odd volume. I didn’t quite expect this.
It’s
very much a slice-of-life series, given that we’re following high
school students, at school and going through drama and crushes and
insecurities. Everyone is some kind of creature, with ears and horns
and wings and part-animal bodies. None of it is thought of as odd,
though there are still prejudices from species to species.
Mostly,
I found how open the discussions and topics were. Sex is discussed.
The three girl best friends show each other their privates, there’s
hints of lesbianism.
I
liked how open the topics were, and realistic at times. I enjoyed
that, and it surprised me. But otherwise, the characters didn’t
really stand out for me. It was an okay volume.
