This story had a lot of potential. The premise was compelling and the characters started interesting with a lot of room for development in forced circumstances.

Maybe it is just my tastes and I like the slice of life stuff and political scheming stuff more than the power fantasy stuff.
Rachel is a 19-year-old Muay Thai-loving college girl going about her troubled life, but all of that is about to be compounded when she grows two big ears and a tail from her backside. After moving into her dorm room at Miami University, the whol
