About this ebook

The story of a boy, a fox, and a whole lot of ecchi...

Kevin Swift has the worst luck with women. It's not that he's unattractive or even unpopular. He just can't talk to them. He blames it on all those Shōnen love comedies he enjoys watching. Fortunately, or unfortunately―depending on who's asking―Kevin's love life is about to start looking up.

After saving a fox's life Kevin discovers that he actually rescued a Kitsune, a shape-shifter capable of transforming into a beautiful girl who appears to have popped right out of the pages to a Shōnen manga. Her name is Lilian, and she apparently wants to mate with him.

Between dealing with an overly amorous vixen's zealous attempts at getting into his pants, his inability to talk to girls and school, Kevin is going to have his hands full.

Ratings and reviews

A lot of fun, and while the writer's work is a bit rough in spots in this volume, you can see the growth as a writer. It's dripping with manga and anime tropes, and is self-aware enough of itself to be a love letter to ecchi/action/harem stories. A charming love letter.

It's a great book. 5 to 5 stars and I wish there would be more stars to vote! Well consistent writing and an original story, something new and refreshing than the cliché teenage-urban-fantasy novels. One big plot hole though: if the protagonist were an otaku, obsessed with anime and manga, how he didn't noticed a fox with two tails as a kitsune?

this series at least has a plot
