Chloe & Una’s Tentacular ExperienceC.U.T.E., Vol. 4 Notes
By Chloe and Una Ada, November 16, 2024
Welcome back to Season 2 of Chloe & Una's Tentacular Experience! Today we're talking about the ongoing series by Kyockcho, Kaede to Suzu. A heart-warming tale of sisterly love and also there's a guy there too I guess. We ask the hard-hitting questions other podcasts are afraid to ask, like "what is gained and lost when adapting a written work into a video format?", and "is it hot when a guy **** his **** between two girls' *******?" So *** on, and join us for our most spectacular (yet least tentacular) experience yet!
