I was hesitant at first as the steriotypical overly girly uke, but all of these were very good, but sometimes brief short stories: 1. The first one had the feel of an old folk tale meant to teach it’s readers a lesson, or like one of the shorter, lesser known Brothers Grimm fairy tails. Which, though containing little details, still leave you thinking “ah, wasn’t that a nice little tale”. This was actually my favourite, I definitely think it was the MCs humorous reaction to being able to eat sugar cubes that ultimately did it for me, I really loved how the reaction was drawn, there’s only one other Manga I can remember reading that had shock drawn in such an adorable way, but I think this one is my fave. 2. A very short circus tale with a small twist at the end 3. Another circus tale, of the circus at night and how it becomes a kind of magical brothel for a price and his footman. 4. A ‘canary’ (singer) locked in a tower all his life, made to sing every night for a night club and the seme who fell for him. 5. The only 2 chapter story and unlike the others has none of the fantasy or fairytale elements seen so strongly in the other stories. Set in a school at student body president confronts another student about his hobby of sleeping with anybody who asks. But instead of wanting to lecture him the president also wants to take part.

I enjoyed both the manga and anime of this so far, even though it’s a bit more immature than what I usually like.

The little cat/dog manga in between each chapter of the main manga was distracting from the main Storylines flow (making the main story not as good as it may have been without the cat/dog manga) and the cat/dog manga wasn't very good anyway, so I didn’t really get the purpose of putting them in, especially in that kind of format.

It paints a very sad and pathetic scene of a blind father who searching for his daughter getting pulled into a brothel and, unknown to him or the prostitute (at first), gets put with his now grown daughter.
