9/10
Follows a wolf and an ensemble cast of various anthropomorphised animals around high school and onwards. A coming of age story about who you are, who you are told to be, who you want to be, and the choices you make as informed by your body and the world you live in. I know there’s romances in it, but I don’t think it’s any more important than other themes in the story.
8.5/10
Story about a young boy Eishi along with the three others, who is saved on the brink of death by a birdmen and becoming birdmen themselves. But mostly it’s a coming of age story about the desire for freedom, community, and indentity.
8/10
A young retired ice dancer takes on young girl and trains her to become a soloist. About reaching for the stars despite your circumstances (like a lot of sports manga but if sports manga were cute.) Art is lively and expressive. Endearing characters.
