Kedamono Damono 2

She also mentions that it’s extremely popular and a lot of people prefer it to her current series Cherry Juice, which makes me hope she’ll turn it into a regular series. I certainly like it a lot, but it continues to be extremely episodic and mostly insubstantial cute, fluffy love stories.
Haruki’s siblings are brought into play again, along with the standard hot spring plot device. I forgive this series things like this though, because it’s just so darn cute. There’s also the expected rivalry for affection, an episode where Haruki loses control of his transformations and spontaneously turns female, and lots of doubt and declarations of love between the two main characters. It’s an extremely sincere romance, but there’s not much substance to it. I would read volume 3 in a heartbeat, but it looks like it’ll be awhile before we see it.
