Karim is just a basic thief working for a Robin Hood-esque gang, but at an illegal auction he runs into demi-human Asena up for sale, and when Asena attempts to escape, Karim can't help but intervene. He ends up housing Asena with him until they can put him on a boat home, but Asena wants nothing to do with him. Except, as it turns out, Asena's body can't help it. But as the two grow closer and start to learn about each others' worlds, they forget that Asena is still being pursued by the people who bought him in the first place. I really like Karim, one of the most standup semes I've seen in a while, and Asena is cute. The lore for Asena's village is also really cool, but the whole explanation for Asena's body 'transforming into a female' seems forced to me and took me out of it a bit. Still, a really good read. Trigger warnings: human(or demi-human) trafficking, noncon, kidnapping, drugs, attempted rape.

But when Chihana's childhood friend suddenly returns and Chihana is very obviously in love, how will his kitty handle the feeling of loss? Very cute, no trigger warnings

Ch.1-1.5 - Neko no Yomeiri - Sachs is a tigerman living on a mountain who happens across a cat in a trap that looks like a good meal. The cat introduces himself as Wilhelm and begs not to be eaten, as he is a sacrifice for the god living in the castle. Since Sachs has recently taken up living in the abandoned castle, he decides to impersonate the god and says Wilhelm is his sacrifice, intending to fatten him up and eat him. But he almost immediately gets too attached to go through with it. I think they're very cute, especially in their bonus chapter. No sex. Trigger warning: lying/manipulation Ch.2 - Intoxication Honey - Claudio is an introverted cat nobleman who hates dogs until he has a chance meeting with dog beastman Kainz one night on a balcony and gets swept off his feet. But when he meets Kainz again at a tea party the next day, he finds that Kainz is actually just a flirt who acts like this with everyone, so he starts pushing Kainz away. But Kainz won't give up so easily! No trigger warnings. Ch.3 - Repaying the Kindness of a Cat - Dieter is a cat person vagabond who gets mistaken as a thief and ends up crashing at the house of the cobbler Edgar. Although Dieter is easily misunderstood and got into trouble where he lived before, Edgar's encouragement helps him turn over a new leaf. But what will happen when police come looking for Dieter as a jewel thief after Edgar already found a gem in Dieter's things? No trigger warnings.

Mamoru has had the ability to see dogs as humans since he was a child, and he decided to use that ability as a hairdresser to help every dog feel happy and comfortable.

When Chappy's owner ends up in the hospital for a fall, Mamoru impulsively takes Chappy to live with him even though dogs aren't allowed, but Chappy shocks him by showing he can take a human form. So the two begin living together as Chappy starts to learn what this human life is all about. Cute and sweet, I especially love Chappy's supportive owner. No trigger warnings.
