Plot
In a world where many different humanoid species exist and prostitution is legal, there exists various brothels for each kind of species run by "succu-girls", who have succubus blood running through them. As each species has different opinions on how each succu-girl works for them, various brothel visitors have become reviewers, rating their experiences with various succu-girls and posting them in the local tavern. The series largely centers on a human named Stunk, an elf named Zel, and an angel named Crimvael.
