Is It Worth Reading?

The Wolf and the Rabbit is a short, hardcore story of about 30 pages. It is not the kind of story you would read for any reason other than the sex. Not that the characters' names even matter, but the story stars Satoko, a middle-aged single mom. When Tsuki joins her crafting club, her bodacious figure immediately has the “straight” Satoko rethinking her sexuality.

I chose to review The Wolf and the Rabbit because it's tagged as yuri, but it didn't feel like the kind of yuri that is targeted at someone like me. These ladies are enormously squishy, with outsized assets on display before they even take off their clothes. The sex, which occurs quickly, is focused on copious fluids. There are ahegao faces galore. I may be a yuri fan, but this portrayal was not really my cup of tea.

What I did appreciate about this story were the characters' backstories, however brief. You'd expect a woman as beguilingly stacked as Tsuki to have her share of problems brought about by her massive mammaries, and the way she tells the tale is quite funny. As for Satoko, her creative nature comes out in some interesting outfits for the bedroom that she made in the crafting club (no doubt earning some odd looks from the other ladies)! After one night of passion, the pair are already planning their life together, and it's not like any other part of the story was realistic, so I'll take it—this U-haul lesbian twist was kind of cute.

Despite the title, there wasn't a furry twist to this story about two humans (they just wear animal costumes at one point). If you want to read a naughty story with some very moist moments and gravity-defying boobs, look no further than this.

The Wolf and the Rabbit is filled to bursting, and no I'm not just talking about the way large lesbian love interest Ookami fills out her cool clothes. With only thirty pages to work with, mangaka Ayane is cramming everything they can into this short, steamy tale. The result is an outlandishly lusty, lovey-dovey tryst with an appealing sort of absurdity I was able to roll with. It's barely four pages in before horny housemom heroine Satoko is internally screaming "I want her to breed me!" and then sweatily skulking around her colossal new crush. She confidently declares that she's straight before a perfectly innocent boob-smush causes a hard cut to a scene of her furiously masturbating. It's that kind of book.

Once Satoko's accepted that she's down with the thickness and blurted comes out to Ookami in one of the more sputter-worthy confession scenes I've read in a minute, The Wolf and the Rabbit is happy to get down to lady-lovin' business. The closest thing to a "conflict" is the supposed wrench of Ookami being worried that Satoko's 15-year-old daughter will instantly, naturally fall in love with her, which feels like its own wrench in the breezy pleasures of the story. But that resolves with a great punch-line, so I'll let it go by. Otherwise, those here for this kind of material will find some rather cute rapport powering some impressively steamy, screamy scenes of hardcore lesbian sex. Some of it comes off as overly goofily indulgent, but doesn't everyone deserve that, at least sometimes, from their porn of choice? It all makes this a solid thirty pages of some of the most impressively unrestrained sex comedy I've read in a minute, with zero qualms about the sex itself. Plus one of the leads is thirty-eight years old. That's incredible in this genre space and contributes to this earning a spirited recommendation.
