When itinerant traveler Orbit, also known as "Ollie," gets stranded without permit or paperwork in the authoritarian city-state of Belote, the only place that will hire him is as a caretaker, or "gardener," at the male brothel Le Jouet Queue. He quickly discovers that all of the companions working there are furless, half animal and half human beings who are treated as pets, property, and sometimes even as livestock for slaughter. For many of the furless there, life at the brothel is a marked improvement from all they've suffered earlier in their lives. They are fed, sheltered, pampered, and looked after by Ollie and the other gardeners- and even a gilded cage is better than the cruelties of the outside world.

But when Ollie's considerate, gentle nature and pure heart catch the eye of the tempestuous Aconit, the most prized and coveted furless in Le Jouet Queue, what begins as idle seduction soon blooms into something deeper. Aconit's haughty facade of careless allure masks his own old wounds and deep distrust of humans, but Ollie sees through his surface beauty to the lonely, resentful creature beneath. In turn, Aconit finds his cold heart stirred by Ollie's tender affection and innocent intentions. But can the love between the two of them last as tensions mount and the mistreatment of furless weighs heavier and heavier upon Ollie's heart...?

尊い…

precious...

This review contains spoilers. 絵がとっても綺麗でお話もきれいにまとまっていて凄いいいお話でした！！独特なお話だったけど面白いくて泣けます。ぎゅっと心をつかまれるよう苦しくもあり美しくもある。幸せになれて本当に良かった……

This review contains spoilers. The pictures were so beautiful and the story was neatly organized, so it was a really nice story!! It was a unique story, but it was so funny that it made me cry. It's both painful and so beautiful that it grabs your heart so hard. It was really nice to be happy...

読み応えがありました

It was a good read

設定がしっかりしており読み応えがありました。BLと云うよりファンタジー作品として楽しめました。面白かった。

The settings were solid and it was easy to read. I enjoyed it more as a fantasy work than BL. That was interesting.

とても美しい世界でした✨

It was such a beautiful world ✨

耽美ファンタジーBLというジャンルに振り分けたい?きっとこの1冊では描ききれなかった世界が作者様の中には沢山あるんでしょう。不明なままで気になる部分も不足分は妄想しつつこの1冊で堪能出来る素晴らしさでした‼️とにかく細い線での繊細な描写、画力にも圧巻しました。読み応えあり間違いなしです?✨

Do you want to sort it into a genre called Amibi Fantasy BL? I'm sure there are many worlds among the authors that they couldn't have drawn with this one book. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy the parts that were unclear and the missing parts in this one book while being delusional ‼️ Anyway, the delicate depiction with thin lines and drawing power were impressive. there's no doubt that it's a good read? ✨
