Honya no Yagi-kun tells the story of a young goat boy who works at a bookshop.
In this universe of animal people herbivores and carnivores usually live seperated from one another and goats aren't even allowed inside of bookstores since they have a knack of chomping down on paper. Despite all of this Yagi-kun has managed to get employed at a bookstore owned by a friendly wolf. On top of that Yagi-kun seems to have a special ability of being able to differentiate different books by taste. He can even get affected by handwritten notes depending on the person...

Despite this interesting premise there is ... not a lot of world building going on and gives more "just roll with it" kind of vibes. It focuses more on the romantic relationship development of the two main characters.

There are some classic BL drama elements like miscommunication and jealousy but overall it is a sickly sweet and fluffy romance.
In surprising contrast to the soft and cute art style there are a few erotic scenes.

All in all the characters were enjoyable instead of plain and boring, the premise and setting are something fresh and different and the story is short and fluffy.

Honya no Yagi-kun is a cutesy story about a airheaded young goat boy who works at a bookshop despite his tendency to eat paper.

The story is a sweet and easy to digest romance between Yagi who has a unique ability to taste stories and the wolf who owns the bookshop. The romance is adorable and matches the art style so wonderfully. Each character is designed well and represents their respective animals well, making everything easy to distinguish. Yagi especially has a most charming design and you seriously just want to put him in your pocket.

Anyone who wants something to smile at should definitely give ... this one a read !
