Ami Tokudaiji is a kitsune (a Japanese werefox) from an aristocratic family whose fortunes are threatened by a financial scandal. Yuki Yamakawa is a werewolf from the wrong side of the tracks. When they end up in the same homeroom class at Osaka's most exclusive girl's school, Yuki is determined to make Ami her new best friend—if they don't kill each other first.

Loved it! Osaka is a great city and Kitsunes and Wolfs. Whoo!

[Charlotte R.S. · Rating 3 out of 5]

The framework of the narrative is definitely there, but there could have been a lot more flesh on those bones. This story was too short--it would benefited greatly from more overall development of the characters, their relationships, and their special abilities.

Not a bad story, but not a good one either. Double the length, flesh it out, and it might have been great.

I really enjoyed the story, the characters, the adventure and the folklore elements. Would have been perfect if the story was longer and had more time to develop more the main characters, as I loved their interactions and would have liked to see more.

Paranormal high school girls vs crooks

Japanese girl shifters meet at stuffy high school and deal with adjustments and a kidnapping. Well done story with modern Japan setting.

A short read, but fun. I wouldn't mind seeing sequels to this…
