![]() ![]() The mixture of the two was unexpected and didn't work for me. ![]() I would have preferred that the stories were either all sweet and cute or all dark and horny. They are all played off as innocent stories, but the dichotomy between the dark themes and the cute writing and art is unsettling. While there is nothing explicit in the book, some of the stories have a very sexual aura. These themes included drugs, consent, age difference, blood, and predator/prey dynamics. Some others, though, contain some dark or kind of kinky themes that made me a bit uncomfortable in the context of the book as a whole. I very much enjoyed the more cutesy, lighthearted stories such as Marley & Collette: The Cold-Blooded and the Warm-Blooded and Mauchly & Charles: Beast and Man. The stories themselves are where this fails a bit for me. The character designs and art style are beautiful and delicate. I adore Nagabe's art in TGFtOS and this book is no different. When I saw that Nagabe, creator of The Girl From the Other Side, had a furry BL short story compilation, I was immediately on board. ![]()
