Slugline: Anthology of short porn stories that are slightly off the vanilla. Caution: explicit sexual content.
When you reach into a big box of Japanese porn, you really never know what you're going to come up with. Bear in mind that my first run-in with manga porn was Bondage Fairies, and you'll understand when I say that an anthology with a bunny girl, an elf girl with transferrable genitals, two gang bangs and some teacher/student fooling around is only just off the vanilla.
The writing is competent -- which for porn is pretty great. The introductory pages setting up the sex contain better dialog and characterization than many porn stories. The art is also competent and fairly standard, not overly focused on any one aspect of the action but not doing anything too unusual either.
The bunny girl and the elf girl stories verged on amusing, which is a rare thing. Some of the stories were completely consensual, a few of them involved some arm-twisting (the old "no means yes" myth that's so troublesome IRL) but nothing excessive enough to make me angry.
Amazon has no listing for this book, so if you want to check it out visit Icarus directly.

Patchwork is available from Right Stuf, Intl., an online retailer specializing in anime and manga (along with being more than just a retailer, but beside the point for now.)
