Just as varied as these (cough) spatial positions are, so are the stories brought to us by Digital Manga's Juné imprint. It is an anthology of stories featuring not just a diversity of plot lines and characters, but a veritable crop of talent from Japan who are making their English language début within these pages. The short story is a difficult format to master, and quite often short one shots like these feel choppy, rushed, or somehow incomplete. So how do these bear up? Overall, this volume provided me with some entertainment that did not have me ruing the loss of a couple of hours of my life. Given the vignettes and prologue type nature of a few of the stories, I would have preferred to read this with the next volume in hand, but this did not diminish my overall enjoyment at all, being a mere selfish desire for some instant gratification. I am the sort of person who goes nuts at having a cliffhanger episode on the TV though and have been known to record the season finale and leave it on the HDD awaiting the second half during the next season's premier months alter, just to avoid the whole chomping at the bit thing. I am left flailing however, due to my own impatience, so I would have to take half a star for that off if I could. Averaging together the weighting I would give as to quality of prose, art, and presentation, it tips this more towards a full five stars than it does a "mere" four, so I'll leave it at that. Be warned as to the (not quite full on) sexually explicit content and the possible religious offence incurred by "Happiness" (an angel having sex), making this a justified 16+ title.
