compilado de histórias com temáticas muito boas e com um estilo de arte lindo.

3a história é sobre um universitário que recebe a notícia que seu avô faleceu e precisa cuidar da casa que fica em uma montanha longe da cidade. a presença de um menino que se torna raposa faz com que o universitário sinta interesse pelo lugar.
This book is poetic in its own way. It's so lovely that I can't stop smiling when I look at the three stories. It touched my heart to the deep core. For those who doesn't get it, you might find it's boring. For me, I could read a hundred more times and I would still be touched.
SPOILER ALERT (Would've given this a full rating had it just been the fish and the fox story ;-;) 2 out of 10 for Story 1 I know they're both adults but... 17 year age gap? Seriously? And he's his boss? The mc is probably in his early or mid twenties dating this 40 yo. Just no. Power imbalance is clear here. My limit is 10 year gap, they just went ahead and doubled that. But the visuals were absolutely beautiful, learning about all the fungi was fun (see what I did there). Especially the dream or daydream sequences were absolutely gorgeous. 10 out of 10 for Story 2 OMG I WANT THIS POWER. Again, beautiful visuals. I love the idea of us each having a soul in the form of a fish that comes out when we sleep that is such an interesting concept. I'm a little curious about the two girls lmao, something going on there? I wish we could fleshed out the romance between the characters a bit, but that's what happens when you're working with a two-shot. Again, I would have been just fine had this been what the manga was about However, it's so cathartic when finally see the love interest begin to see what the mc sees, that must've been a pleasant experience for the both of them. And the epilogue is so sweet, when we see them as adults. After all the start of the relationship isn't the end, it's the beginning of a new chapter and it's nice to see that their story is still going. Also, it seems pretty accurate that the mc would turn out to be a writer. 8 out of 10 for Story 3 This story is beautiful as well, another great concept. I had to take a point off though, because they didn't make the age gap clear and the fox obviously looks a tad younger, but he's like a fox spirit so he could a thousand years old for all we know, and with a university student so either this is pedo vibes or this fox spirit is gonna be great x15 grandfather. But it was nice to see them connect over his grandfather and not make a big deal about him being a fox. I hate liar reveal stuff so it was nice to see him be chill about. A pretty straightforward story, again, it is what it is when it comes to oneshots.
All together I give it a 6.5 out of 10 Beautiful visuals but I wish that the good stories were standalone so they could be longer and have more time to flesh out their stories. TAKE OUT THE FIRST ONE PLEASE.
