Snips, snaps and puppy dog tails, indeed. The realism in this one is taken too far in fine details and character elements, but not far enough in plot structures or ligaments and other connecting tissues. Linear-but-nonlinear progression in that it's sequential time, but there is no connection between the story elements. I think the most revealing moment was the part where the old woman (who's she?) character tells her guest, "he's wary of strong people" (same could be said of the story) but, honestly, a story needs some strength and structure, or it just flitters away on the random track. Nothing romantic here, yet. Nice art, though. It remains to be seen if this story goes anywhere.
Vignettes from a relationship. Lovely art. Really like this: http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/snip_snail_dog_tail/mf/v01/c001/16/ (Protag is examining something pretty and it comes to life in his hands.)
Gyaa~ I like the mixed timeline in the manga it's really making the whole story more intriguing and sexy so you wanna read it all over again. The art is great as expected from this sensei, though it's a bit simpler and less detailed than from other manga. Waiting for moar~~
I like this author, and this story was interesting...but a writing style a bit more linear here wouldn't have been bad...it was a bit messy, and kinda spoiled it for me.
