Manga is not something I read a lot of; the last thing I bought was a collection of shōjo about 15 years ago. But the stories sound fun.

That sounds a great idea, I'd very much be up for that. :-) And I'll definitely be glad to pass on thoughts about the stories.

Ohh, I'm sorry Mermet, I meant to reply! I did read it and enjoy it, although the stories are perhaps a little lighter on story line than,

say, Rumiko Takahashi or Keiko Nishi in the shojo style. What I liked about it was the more romantic, and for this artist, cute style.

There's some sex scenes with the traditional seme/ume relationships, but it was much more romantic than I expected. The best story,

for me, was one called Disappearing into dew, which is in a sort of fairytale, mythical, style about the love between a demon and human.

Oh, and it's the first publication I've read in the native manga, left to right, reading format.

I enjoyed reading it overall, it's a light read but a fun one and can be quite touching. And it has cute little fox spirit drawings. :-D
