CHARACTERS

Komazu - a happy-go-lucky sparrow who is often caught in precarious situations. He is a lovable naive bird who loves his serious family

Shirato - a sophisticated but sensitive snake who tries his best to defy mother nature's plans. He is a caretaker of many sorts, and finds enjoyment in his sparrow friend.

SPICE

Has a few good scenes with the couple exploring each other. The main focus is on them discovering each other's unique animal-like anatomy and how it can work together as both males and opposite species.

PERENNIALITY

This book sat on my desk for awhile and I just love to cover art. The art in the book is fantastic and definitely made an impression on me. I will be looking forward to more works by Nna Natsuo and hope they continue writing with chimeras as a focus. The book expanded my inventory and awareness of devouring as a motif for love, and I think I will even give it a second read after awhile.
