Fumi Furukawa’s Yagi the Bookshop Goat is a sweet and spicy yaoi manga intended for adults. Yagi is a goat who loves books and desperately wants to work in a bookshop. Since Yagi is a goat, he tends to be banned from any place selling paper due to his wanting to eat it. When the only bookshop willing to hire him is in in the carnivore zone, Yagi happily accepts employment from Ookami the wolf.

Both the art style and the story of Yagi are incredibly sweet and aesthetically enjoyable. While the story is somewhat surface level, readers do get to understand some of Yagi and Ookami’s back stories and how they have gotten to the present day.

I could easily see this story being one people could come back to as a comfort read given the light-hearted vibe and the story being contained to one volume.

I would love to see additional stories set in this world or surrounding this cast of characters as Furukawa has set up so much potential in this world.
