Pandect is a manga-style webcomic drawn by Canadian artist Dina Situ. It is currently hosted by comicgenesis and can be read here (NSFW): http://pandect.comicgenesis.com/
Existing alongside the human world is another class of persons called "Aces," who are animals [[HumanityEnsues who have earned a human soul]]. With the soul comes a human body and human speech and reason. It also carries with it the attendant problems of existing in human society, which wild Aces find especially difficult. However, Aces generally recognize that having a soul is worth the extra difficulties.
Though most Ace earn their soul by passing some test, a rare few are born Ace. Aces come in four varieties.
* Prince Aces are the highest class and have posession of a particular geographic area.
* Gladiator Aces are warriors with special powers.
* Regular Aces have no special responsibilities but may have special powers.
* Servant Aces are animals chosen by a Prince to serve them. They did not earn their own souls and will revert to animals if the Prince repudiates them.
The class of Ace is predestined: Every animal potentially has a soul of a particular class, which they receive if they earn their Ace. Even a Servant Ace could win a soul, which might even be a Prince soul, under the right circumstances.
Ace society is run by the Princes, who summon animals in dreams and give them the chance to earn their Ace. Few do. Most Aces revere a semi-divine figure they call The Mother, who occasionally grants "Legendary" rank to Aces who have done exceptional service to the Ace Kingdom. An Ace of any class may become Legendary.
The comic follows Fleance, the Black Prince of the Kingdom, who serves as the Judge when Aces have committed crimes. A melanistic Leopard, Fleance is seeking his trees, which were taken away when his home forest was destroyed. He comes to reside in a private academy run by another Prince Ace, and tries to learn the ways of humans. But the persons on whom he -- and the Black Prince before him -- have passed judgment have long lives and very, very long memories...
As of February 2011, on indefinite hiatus.

* AnimalGenderBender: Averted, subverted, reverted, and justified. Venus, Ace of Peafowl, (a peahen) did the naughty with a human and was destroyed, and is currently [[GrandTheftMe residing in the body of her brother Theo]], a peacock.
* AnimalJingoism: Animosity between Snake and non-Snake Aces is widespread and apparently mutual.
* AnimeHair: Most characters, especially feline Aces. Cat Aces have two hairspikes that resemble ears
* {{Animorphism}}: With a difference - Aces have both human and animal bodies and can switch from one to the other at will. There is no 'halfway' transformation moment

* EyesOfGold: Fleance, justified since this is a natural color for felines
* FacialMarkings: Justified: the human appearance of an Ace resembles his/her animal appearance
** By that token, Fleance's pale skin and ''lack'' of spots should qualify for this trope. Melanistic leopards do have spots, they just aren't as obvious as a normal leopard's due to the fact that the rest of their fur is also dark.
* {{Fanservice}}: All the adult characters, male or female, have perfect bodies
** Justified in the case of Aces: WordOfGod says that the Mother makes sure Aces have superior human bodies.
** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] once, when Teddy Jr. wore [[http://pandect.comicgenesis.com/d/20060722.html "Fanservice" brand swim trunks]]
* FirstLawOfGenderBending: Inverted: a female character is transferred into the body of a man. Thus far it has stuck.
