Thought-Provoking Dystopian Tale
This story delves into a dystopian world where anthropomorphic animals are subjected to a totalitarian regime. The government's strict control over reproduction, particularly its prohibition of interspecies and same-sex relationships, creates a fascinating and unsettling backdrop.
The artwork effectively introduces the world and its characters, drawing the reader into this unique universe. The main characters are intriguing, and their struggles against the oppressive system promise a compelling narrative.
While the premise is intriguing, it remains to be seen how the story will develop and whether it will delve deeper into the philosophical implications of the government's control over individual choice

So far, the story is catching my interest. The world is intriguing and I'm caught up in the mystery. The one thing I have a slight issue with is that Andolfo's hyper-sexualized art sometimes takes me out of the story when I wonder why it was necessary to show a character in a specific pose. But I know that's the artist's style, so I shouldn't really complain about that.

The story in this is pretty good. Anthropomorphic animals in a dystopian future where they can’t be in relationships with other species is cool enough with added thriller and mystery aspects as well.
The writing is easy and the drawings are good.
There’s the whole 18+ aspect which I get considering the storyline, it’s worth the read even if that’s not of interest.

This is interesting. The art is certainly gorgeous.
It reminds me just a tad of Bitch Planet in that this is a world where women are rounded up and punished for not complying. Only, this one focuses way more on intraspecies marriage and procreation above all else. Any women not married by 25 is forced into a program to marry someone of the same species. It touches very, very briefly on forbidden same sex attraction.
The main character is interesting enough. I honestly struggled with whether I saw her friend Trish as all that supportive, to be honest. She seemed to have been drinking the Kool Aid, which is interesting considering we don't really get any other good guy characters that support the government's cause. So... am I supposed to believe Trish was a good guy? I kind of didn't.
Anyway, it's an interesting start. I don't know if I'll continue with it.

Stumbled upon it in Hoopla and I couldn't get enough of it. A world where relationships between different species or gender are punishable with extinction, a young pig girl is part of a prophecy to destroy or fuel it all. The art style is stunning and the ode to diversity in love is commendable.

I’ve just discovered that the Hoopla library app has a whole bunch of fairly recent comics on it, including some on my book club reading list. In perusing what they had to offer, I stumbled on Unnatural Volume 1: Awakening, which was featured on the app. I absolutely borrowed it based on the cover alone — checking that category off of my WWAC Reading Challenge — because Mirka Andolfo’s art is a gorgeous, seductive array of colour and imagery.
The book is about Leslie J. Blair, a hardworking pig girl who just wants to find love before she’s forced into a government-sanctioned same-species relationship when she comes of age. But steamy dreams involving a sexy wolf keep edging her toward breaking the law. This initially seemed like it could easily be described as erotic Zootopia, but there’s something far deeper and more insidious going on with those dreams…

I never thought I'd find myself attracted to anthropomorphic creatures but this comic is making it happen.
The story is interesting and timely. Definitely heavy handed with the social commentary but I appreciate that. The art is gorgeous. Quite a wonderful style. Definitely sexy without being unnecessarily or creepily graphic. It was a delightful and mildly poignant romp. Will keep reading!
