The god disguised as a goldfish doesn't command. Still, Akahana knows better than to refuse his "requests", especially to help a pair of lovebug crabs.

Even if it might turn out to be the greatest risk she will ever face.

"Backwards on the Way"--the second of your favorite militant lesbian tree octopus sorceress tales--presents love in all its varied splendor.

Make sure you have also read "The Eight Petaled Rose" and "Whimsical Beasts" for Akahana's crazy further adventures.
