This story had a very cute premise but ended up boring me quite a bit. You only learn the bare minimum about the main characters and barely any box story. Aside from the fashion choices, nothing else about this story screams that it's set in the 1920's Japan Taisho era. You could have placed the story in almost any era, and it would be exactly the same. The fact that Ozaki is a kitsune doesn't really matter either. You could have him be almost any other type of immortal, and the story would remain the same. I feel like this story would land much better if it was more than a one-shot. Even a 3 volume series would have given it the room to actually become a compelling story. I did enjoy the art, that was lovingly done.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
