Reviews

[Michael · Rating 4 out of 5]

The short stories from the main FMP! storyline is a nice glimpse into the more slice-of-life moments for all the main cast. If this was an anime, these would all be filler arcs. Looking forward to reading more.

The rest of the Fumoffu series, most notably the character Tsubaki, makes their appearance here, with a couple of chapters that were never adapted, so that was interesting, but also understood why they might’ve been skipped.
