This story is a classic forbidden romance - with a twist! The Snake Who Loved A Sparrow was a book I obtained through a mystery bag purchase at an anime convention recently, and the first one I decided to read. The detailed artwork was easily the strongest factor in the resulting score, while the story was quite unique. Some elements of the plot seemed a bit rushed or underdeveloped, however it still allows the reader a basic understanding of what's going on. Nna Natsuo drew excellent illustrations that enhanced the world building, especially. But the main characters of the story, Komazu and Shirato, make sucha sweet pair. These two really do care for one another, and their commitment and love is what keeps them coming back for more.
