Ookami-sama no Koiwazurai

Complete | Tobi washio | 2019 released

Oh this is good stuff!! Love when the stars align to make something this well rounded and enjoyable! Not actually uncensored, but close enough. Plus has all the benefits of alpha sex w/o the dumb tropes!

Gokutora no Honey Bunny

Complete | Abuku | 2022 released

Short and sweet. The stuff about finding time to be alone and have sex was actually really cute and grounded, less tropey.

Kemono Joushi ni Jitsuwa Mitomerarete Ita Hanashi

Ongoing | Shiroinu | 2019 released

Is being released in English!! Vols 1-2 available, Vol 3 just published in Japanese Jan 2024, hopefully coming soon... Hmm... I want to like this more, but the tone is so... Restrained? Everything is being funneled through office politics, and the constant strong beast reiatsu from Atlas is getting old.

Sense of Loyalty

Complete | matsumoto yoh | 2000 released

A smutty human/beastman oneshot. I read this before without rating. Probably. Because it's just okay. The plot doesn't go anywhere as a oneshot, and the smut is tinged with rapey elements, even when they're properly having sex at the end.

Musebinake, Junjou

Complete | Matsumoto yoh | 2019 released

Pretty good! Somewhere between 3.5 and 4 stars, I think, because the story could be clearer with Omi and Rou's intentions, but the drama between and Yuki and Godai is solid. That said, could've used less comedy and more domesticity between them.

Ookami-sama no Ichizu na Bouai

Complete | Abuku | 2019 released

Honestly, I just got bored with it. The human omega half of the couple is STILL lacking self confidence in the relationship and questioning if his husband remembers what he said about wanting children... 2 years I tho their marriage?! Pass. Also there's some pointless dubcon at the beginning. It's not like Titan's Bride, where there was a cultural misunderstanding. The beastman just carried him home and had his way with him. :/

Ikenie no Otsutome wa

Probably won't be continued any time soon. Interesting but mostly just smutty.

Chew Me up and Teach Me About Love

Ongoing | Pokerou | 2022 released

This is a very interesting psuedo BDSM situation. Feels a lot like Akihabara Bad Trip, where the receiving partner is completrly open to rough sex and bondage stuff, while the one initiating that stuff is hesitant about hurting or scaring them. It's nice, honestly, to see them approach the characters navigate with as much care for each other and honesty as they can. The furry stuff is kind of just extra in this case, haha. The smut is pretty hot in this one also. Hmm... The story is getting kind of messy about chs 10-12.

Bakemono no Hanayome

Complete | Teo akihisa | 2019 released

Meh. Was hoping for a battle couple, and while they do find mutual ground as a couple, the extra chapter kind of ruins it with typical gender/social roles. :/
