it's not historical but coz it's set mostly within shrines, they dress traditionally; it's fantasy but it's nothing absurd and it does hold its lore very well, the author seems to really do their research on the animals and the mythology of the zodiac so that's good; it's also episodic so nothing gets dragged on for too long and everyone gets a chance to have a spotlight on them.
Also as an animal lover, I really enjoyed the personification of the animals in this story, it's not sexually driven like in most BLs, they're just animals that can transform into humans, it's nice.
Lastly, the main couple-- what a good dynamic, the seme is chill by default, but since he gets possessed by the 12 animals, it's like he has a different personality each month; the uke is so cute too, eventhough he's a tsundere like his master (the cat), he's still able to convey his feelings at the end of the day instead of just acting out his frustrations.
Really nice read, nothing heavy; sure, there's a little, like teeny bit of drama but it still leans on the fluffy and light side. Instant top 5 faves.
