Adorable story
This title has been on my wishlist for quite some time now, and I finally decided to order it for myself.It's a very cute story about a goat's dream of working in a bookshop, and his manager, a scary wolf.My copy arrived in perfect condition - with no wrinkles or folds, and was quite the treat to read.The only note I have about this title is that there are a couple adult scenes that aren't suited for a younger reading audience, which is expected of an 18+ bl Manga.

How many ways can you say "Adorable"?
So in all honesty, I have read this before, well part of it, because of a online distributor ad catching my attention. But I can't be blamed.It has a little goat nibbling on books and trying his best. It's not overly complicated for it's length and wraps up even the slightly distasteful notes with a fluffy coating.All in all, I really enjoyed it, though be warned it does have a spicy moment. And wolf petting.Still, if you're looking for a quick read while taking a ride somewhere, I do recommend. It's also good for a pick-me-up for those more Winter Nights as it's not over the top and in your face with the romance.

Almost overwhelmingly cute and adorable
It’s been stated before in many other reviews, but this manga is so ridiculously cute and adorable in almost every facet that it’s a little overwhelming! Even the very premise itself - a paper-eating goat working at a bookstore - is just utterly freaking adorable.I think this book deserves some extra props for actually being quite smart and engaging, in addition to the overload of moe/cuteness. There’s actually an impressive amount of subtle world-building for a single volume of manga like this, and it almost makes me sad that this is all we have within this universe, and with these characters.I also have to admit that I found the overall story quite wholesome and touching. More and more I appreciate yaoi with supportive/nurturing relationships that are definitively non-toxic, and this definitely falls into that category.If you’re the type of person who would even *consider* buying a volume of yaoi manga with hybrid animal characters (I know y’all are out there) then you shouldn’t hesitate for a moment to buy this. Seriously, put it in your cart right now - I can almost guarantee you will not regret it.

Extra points for how adorable the whole thing is
Rating system:1 star = did not like2 star = it was okay3 star = liked it4 star = really liked it5 star = it was amazingThe story for this stand alone manga is fast paced and very simple, but that's not what makes it good. It's good because it's freaking adorable and funny. If you want a super cute and adorable BL story that will make you giggle, this might be for you.Both characters like each other and keep it a secret because they aren't sure how the other feels. Some of the story progression feels unnaturally forced. Kind of like how if you're reading an erotic novel and it has blatantly sexual and corny scenarios to push the story forward.There are two erotic scenes. This manga uses the bright light method of censorship, so there isn't a much to see. Some panels make it look like Yagi doesn't even have a penis.

4.5 stars! So cute!
This is honestly one of the cutest manga that I’ve ever read! I loved that this took place in a bookshop (there simply aren’t enough books that take place in bookstores 🥰). I loved that Yagi’s dream was to be a book seller and that Ookami was the one to bring that dream to reality. And the way that all the other carnivores adored Yagi was just so cute! I also really liked that this was a little bit of a childhood-friends-to-lovers situation (even if Yagi didn’t recognize Ookami at first). This is getting a four and a half stars. It was just so fun and cute and I would love to see more! 🥰

hybrids, bookstores, found family--what's not to love?
Goodness, I really loved this story! Setting in particular had me hooked right from the start. While I'm familiar with a variety of hybrid tropes, the concept of an herbivore/carnivore delineation is something I've never seen before and it provided for a really adorable dynamic between Yagi and Ookami. And I've never read anything with a goat hybrid before! Such a unique, but inspired choice haha. The idea of a goat fighting "the seduction of paper" to be a bookseller... What an innocent and inherently hilarious premise.I'm glad that the entire volume focused on them and their relationship. The background regarding their past was so sweet, and Ookami's transition from passive friend to loving partner felt really genuine; as a result, I also didn't really mind the smut sections. Sometimes, in cozy mangas like this, they feel out of place and a bit much for me, but because I felt connected to their love for each other, not just attraction, it felt warranted here. I also enjoyed all of the side characters and the momentum/energy they brought to the story. I love a good "found family"! Overall, I highly recommend 💚

It’s so fluffy I could die!!
This is literally one of the titles that may make me a diabetic on how sweet it is 🥰 it’s an adorable little story about Yagi who loves books but since he’s a goat, eats paper so he’s not able to get a job at a bookstore in the herbivore zone however he did get one in the carnivore zone!There he meets the store owner Ookami and it’s just sweetness from there, just adorable fluff for anyone looking to cure those after January Blues ☕️

So much fluff!
This book is just full of fluff and I just adore Yagi the goat. He has loved books from a young age and was determined to work in a bookshop. The one problem is that Goats eat paper so it was hard to find someone to let him work there. Luckily a wolf named Ookami lets him work in the bookshop he work in. Yagi has eaten many books and can actually taste the books. He can taste the emotions and the motivation of the writer.I adored the relationship between Yagi and Ookami. They were just so sweet together and watching them fall for each other was so cute. The art is beautiful and all the Characters were a joy to read about. I liked the world the Mangaka created and sensei did a marvellous job of creating such a fantastic world. The different animals and zones of the world were well explained so you don't feel lost.The backstory of the two explains Yagi's love for books and of the kind person who introduced him to them. That really made the story so much sweeter and its like they were destined to meet and be together.I cant wait to read more from this Mangaka and get lost in all the fluff again. If you enjoy your BL/Yaoi Manga on the sweet, fluffy and PG zone, this is for you.I received a copy of this book from NetGalley, and this is my honest review.
