Review 27: Sex Pistols

Art: 7.5
Plot: 8.5
Characters: 9.5
Sex: 8.5

Another oddball, wow! This one centers on Tsuburaya, a guy who got in a motor accident and suddenly started seeing other people as animals. With this 'special ability' came some sort of pheromones that, unfortunately for him, attract perverts and turn his friends into drooling hornballs. Luckily (?) he soon meets Kunimasa, who eventually explains what all this crazy stuff means. I won't give it away here, but basically Kunimasa and Tsuburaya - Norio - are more-or-less made for each other, biologically. Chaos ensues as the willful Tsuburaya holds his own against the violent and apathetic Kunimasa.

The art is a little below-par by my standards, but it doesn't distract from the story. The animals are actually drawn very well, particularly the monkeys.

The plot is totally different, but in a refreshing way. Readers will find themselves drawn into the craziness of the story and curious to find out more about the 'hallucinations' and 'pheromones' Norio suffers from.

The characters are the best part of this series. Norio is just great, because he's able to see through the pheromones Kunimasa gives off and can actually think clearly enough to refuse him. It isn't until Kunimasa stops acting like a complete jerk that Norio appreciates him in return. Kunimasa, meanwhile, is an annoying and yet surprisingly complex character. What appears to be just cruelty at first turns out to be a combination of his lack of words, pride, and habit of not explaining anything very well.

The sex is quite interesting, given that they have... animal... characteristics. That sounds pretty strange, but I'm meaning more of the 'pheromone' stuff than the actual animal designations, which I can't discuss much lest I ruin the story development!

All in all, 34/40. That's pretty darn good!

Recommendation: If you're looking for something refreshingly out-of-the-ordinary, try this! Probably also a safe bet for furries.
