More than a Play Bite

Complete | Tsuruko | 2019 released

An anthology of connected oneshots about a beastmen-verse. 1: Takumi has always been enamoured with his neighbour, a wolf beastman who is a microbiologist/ professor who works from home. Will the prof. ever see him as anything more than a child? I don't know, he looks so dog like, and he's so much older. It's just not for me. 4 2: Aihachi and Shunsuke, both on the track team, aces from different years, one a retired senior, and one an up-and-coming second year. They use training, food and even sex as means of "stress relief/ goodluck ritual before heats" to dance around each other. Until finally, it culminates in them admitting the truth. I actually really like Aihachi. He seems shallow at first glance, but he's actually really brave, and a great friend. And loyal to a fault. I also liked Shunsuke, who is a bit too tsun, but still one cool dude. And certainly not afraid to go after what he wants once the push comes to shove. This too, was a bit uncomfortable with how animal like Shunsuke was. 4.5 3: Nachi, a quarter lion beastman and Mikuni, a snake who just shed his skin and consequently is attracting a lot of attention. But the only attention he wants is from Nachi, his beloved childhood friend. Will he finally take a hint? I liked Mikuni's innocence a lot, and his determination. I enjoyed it a lot overall. 4.8 4.5: Very small filler about Dr.Mikami, a classmate of the prof., and his assistant and lover. It was cute, and enjoyed how it tied together all the stories of the other couples. 4.5 Overall: 4.45
