The Wize Wize Beasts of the Wizarding Wizdoms

I’ve been getting into manga recently, and this was one of the first books I noticed when I was browsing for more yaoi-leaning titles. This was my first purchase of Nagabe’s work, and immediately I was sucked in with the artwork and adorable stories. There are some questionable themes in this collection, like drugging someone against their will and large age gaps between two characters, so if this is a concern then this book might not be a good purchase for you.I wasn't sure what to expect going off of the cover design of what the characters would look like, but I liked the heavy emphasis on each of the different types of animals and making some of their true natures show. I loved how the vampire bats sharing food wasn’t shied away from, and size differences between predator and prey were shown with the goat and wolf. I’ve read that this is considered more in the furry category than just anthropomorphic humanoids, but I personally don’t see it as such just because the characters have their animal sides blatantly shown.I also loved that each story showed a different style of relationships, whether it was just friendship with a touch of something more to explorations in various types of loves the anthropomorphic characters felt. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the peacock/raven story due to it feeling too stalkerish and controlling, and the story with the two professors (griffin and unicorn) felt like flat filler that needed to be fleshed out more. However, I do feel they still add to the collection as a whole since the author is exploring those different types of love and relationships.I only wish the stories would’ve been longer, maybe even pushed some of the relationships a bit more, but I still enjoyed it and feel it has great re-readability. The art is lovely and the layout made everything easy to follow. Dialogue was perfect and the bubbles never felt like they were in the way of the action. I’d love to see a sequel or continuation to this book and the characters.This book has made me a new fan of Nagabe and look forward to reading more of their work.

Absolutely fantastic book. Read it cover to cover in an evening, as I couldn't bring myself to put it down. Highly reasonable price, great stories, great artwork, and a diverse set of characters that were all easy to enjoy reading. I desperately hope there is a second volume somewhere down the road with continuations of them all, but I will cherish what was given to us in just this one volume alone.

It was very cute I had no idea it was boys love to be honest it’s very mild with kissing only but it was still very wholesome I bought the book because the cover looked really cool had no idea everyone on it was a boy lol I ended up reading it and giving it to my little sister who’s 11 an absolutely loves anything anthropomorphic She absolutely loved the manga as well. It was her first one. There We’re 8 couple’s/stories in total I also enjoyed the writers end comments and bonus story’s. All were very cute you guys should definitely give it a read.

I meant to write this review a year ago! I can't believed it slipped my mind!There eight short stories in here about anthropomorphized animals (a.k.a. 'furries' because that's really 100% easier to say, let alone spell). It's completely focused on gay love.Now, I don't agree with everything that goes on in this manga including drugging your friends, student-teacher relationships, and being ... Doug, in general, but there is still a lot of good stuff here. It's not erotic per se, but it can be suggestive (especially with the bat story; hoo boy).In short, I HIGHLY recommend it if you enjoy reading the Boy's Love genre and are a furry; it's a sweet delight and I wish I could read it for the first time twice. If not, this book probably won't appeal much to you.A tip of the hat to Nagabe, their artwork is utterly fantastic; dark yet comforting to look at.

The collection should have two bits of content warnings:- All the stories are about gay love.- A few of the stories are nonconsentual.A review told me that that this manga is somewhat similar to Beastars: They're furry stories told in a school. However, these stories are set in a school of magic.Many stories are "boys love" stories, with very young protagonists falling in love and eventually kissing. I'm uncomfortable with this kind of manga; I prefer subjects to be older.The artwork is more detailed than Beastars' artwork, but the writing is less consistent. Each story is short -- in several cases, too short. At least two stories end with a "reveal" that will lead to a LOT more conflict later. I wish that the writer would have given, even in the background, what had happened next.On the other hand, the final story in the collection is a truly beautiful story about a once-a-year meeting between two people of very different worlds, and their similarities and differences.At best, these are stories of young puppy love, often unrequited. But the stories aren't deep.

I love this artist and these short stories are so sweet and melancholic

Realmente me gusto la historia es muy bonita la de los capítulos 1 3 4 6 7 y 8Las otras no se. se sienten raras pero por lo demás es una historia muy bonita me encantaría que la continuarán en un segundo tomo tomando más historia de los personajes y algún día saquen un anime ova de este mismo manga

São várias histórias curtinhas desenhadas nesse estilo furry que o autor adora. Ele utiliza as características das espécies animais para moldar a personalidade de seus personagens.Pra quem se preocupa com isso, pode ser lido por adolescentes tbm (não contém sexo etc).

The media could not be loaded.  I like this book alot. I was expecting magic and adventure when I got this, but after reading the first story I quickly realized this was more romance then questing, which surprised me, I was still interested and continued to read. I love the characters, they're all so cute and the different stories have different relationships from one another; no 2 are the same. I very much enjoyed this book and am glad I got it.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Those stories weren't just cut and exciting but so well written for only a few pages per short story. I wish there was more. I would definitely buy it.
