Yagi the Bookshop Goat by Fumi Furukawa
5.0
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
Yagi is a goat who both loves to read and loves to eat the books he reads. He has a dream of working in a bookshop, but after getting turned down by every bookstore in town, he ends up working in Ookami the wolf's bookstore. This manga was so cute in its art style, story, and it's characters! The art style is lovely; I love the soft and fluffy look the mangaka gave to the characters. The characters themselves are also so fun. Yagi, the main character, is such a sweetheart, so you just want to cheer him on in his journey. Even the minor side characters are lovable. I really liked watching the romance unfold, and it was written in a way where you really root for them to get together. The spicy scenes were a little bit of a surprise, but within the context of the story, they fit perfectly. They're very sweet and romantic spicy scenes, which is always a nice thing. My only complaint is that the story is too short! I wanted to see more of the couple after they get together! If this got turned into a series, I would totally read the next volumes.
