As folks who have watched the series should remember, at the end of episode 6 of Brand New Animal, Nazuna and Michiru had an argument. Nazuna (who had at this point been basically indoctrinated by a cult) rather cruelly attacked some of Michiru's character flaws, and Michiru eventually declared that she didn't know the other girl and ran off. This story is my take on a different way that scene could have ended.
This is the first story I've posted here. Please feel free to comment! :)

Hahaha, oooh Nazuna... you are a truly awful friend XD
I haven't seen much content for this series, which is a real shame. I love Nazuna's utterly selfish and twist rationalization at the end, it feels very in-character for her and very predator-like. Not only that, but I'm especially fond of prey giving a final "lurch" before succumbing to a belly, something about the weak attempt and finality makes the moment great.
Thank you for writing this story! I hope more like it is on the way ;)

Thanks for taking the time to comment! :)
I just got into BNA recently, but it struck me as having some great potential for vore. When I saw how little content there was for it, I just felt I had to step in and make at least a small attempt to fix that.
Nazuna rationalizing away eating her best friend is something that came to me as I was wrapping up the story, but I knew as soon as I thought of it that I had to include it. It seemed to fit perfectly with the mindset she was in at that point in the series.
I don't have any other specific inspiration for more Brand New Animal works right now, but that may easily change. I do have some stories from other series that I've written and never showed to anyone: I plan to slowly roll them out here after doing a proper revision pass for coherence and such.

Oh, I’d be happy to see those stories! If they are as good as this story was, I’m sure you’ll get plenty followers and favorites :) though I think it’s still best to make content for yourself~
Maybe I’ll write a BNA story myself some day? My plates a bit full at the moment, but if I could write something fun like this, it’d be a lot of fun. By and by, what did you think of BNA’s ending?

Oh yes, any time I write a vore story it's because it's a scenario that I want to see (and probably couldn't find anywhere else). If I try to write a story that I don't feel inspired about, it just ends up feeling so... empty. Lacking in feeling and life.
If you want to write a BNA story, then by all means go ahead. write what you want and have fun with it. :)
As for BNA's ending... it kind of feels to me like they tried to cram a 24-episode series into twelve episodes. That said, I still enjoyed it a fair bit.

That’s fair. I feel like they should have set the stakes of the story lower, been more transparent about Alan’s plan, didn’t include extraneous plot points, and/or focused more on Michiru & Nazuna’s relationship. For as much time as the finale was built up, it felt like it was still being rushed. Like when Alan turns out to be a “pure-blooded Beastman, he spends a good minute or two on exposition about himself and telling us his real motivations when really that should be clear in the story by that point. That time could have been given over to something else.
Instead, if the story was more grounded or less “save the whole city,” I feel like we could have enjoyed more slice of life/drama stories like the baseball episode. Trigger might be good with frantic animation, but their best stories are usually the ones that are about as simple as dealing with an underdog baseball team. That way, the finale could simply be a drama story cranked up to 11.

Great work! I personally prefer Michiru as Pred but I really liked this regardless! I hope to read more by you soon!

Thanks for commenting! :)
Michiru as pred is something I've been considering, but it's harder to find a reasonable scenario. I really wanted to do a story with Nazuna and Michiru after all. For Nazuna it doesn't take a tremendous leap of logic to see her getting here from where her personality was at the end of episode 6, but it's much harder for me to imagine Michiru eating Nazuna, even after the two of them have had a fight.
I may still come up with something, but I'll probably have to take a few more liberties with the source material to come up with a scenario that works in my mind.

I always saw Michiru as an “accidental” or “unwilling” pred, after all she’s always been rash in her judgment so maybe you could go that route but your the writer here. Either way I understand your point and this scenario was great! I could kinda see Nazuna doing stuff like this so there’s no denying the character accuracy which I believe is most important in a story like this, so in the end I’m glad that you chose her

As it turns out, you're in luck! An idea came to me last night and I just posted the resulting story. Feel free to take a look! :)
