Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. What a rollercoaster. I’m talking about another one of those deep ecchi series—yeah, another one. Been on a bit of a journey, you know? And this one, well, it’s something else, alright.

Now, let’s get one thing straight: the story here? It’s got its moments of beauty, no doubt. But don’t go thinking it’s perfect, because it sure ain’t. Let me break it down for you. First off, I can’t shake the feeling that the author enjoys playing around with our emotions, tossing in some NTR bait just to stir up insecurities. But here’s the kicker—it’s kinda beautiful in its ... own messed-up way.

Sex in this series isn’t always about perversion or violence. Nah, sometimes it’s about sheer attraction and care. I’ll give ‘em that much. This one tries to play the deep ecchi card, and I can respect that. But let’s be honest here—the art? Not exactly eye-popping. In fact, it’s a bit outdated. Not as sexy or alluring as some other ecchi stuff out there. So, what’s the hook? The twisted romance between Kurumi and Hideo, that’s what.

It’s deep, twisted, sad, and somehow still a fun ride. y'all know what it is.

Now, the ending? Bittersweet. And, you know what? I’m not sure how I feel about it. Bittersweet endings are like that extra topping you didn’t ask for but got anyway. It’s overdone, if you ask me. Feels like a cheap trick to make sure the series leaves a mark, something to keep you moping around for a day or two after reading. Not sure if I appreciate that, but hey, it does the job.

This series, though, is far from perfect. There’s not much exploration of feelings here. Unlike *Nana to Kaoru*, where they dive deep into the idea that their, uh, activities are a form of communication when words just won’t cut it, this one stays on the shallow end of the pool. It’s a real shame, too. Kurumi’s character had the potential to be at the GOAT status. Something more—something with real emotional depth, beyond just the sex and fetishes. But we didn’t get that far enough, did we? Not enough time I guess. I feel like it could’ve been so much better... somewhat. This shit is fucking sad man.

This is one of those smutty mangas that really gets away with a lot; It's very close to being classified as a hentai. I actually came across it one day in an anime magazine and decided to give it to a go, it’s pretty bad in terms of manga but a good read if you want to get away with reading something dirty i suppose.

In the end it's nothing special but worth it if you want to have a decent laugh.

I saw this mentioned in the same breath as Oyasumi Punpun in a few online circles, and that made me want to check this out. Those people speaking so highly of this manga are completely mistaken.

This manga has weird kinks throughout (pissing, mostly. drinking piss. anal. degradation.) but I overlooked how much dissatisfaction the portrayal of these kinks gave me. I was assured that the initial ecchi content would become more complex as the story progressed and it would become more than simple baseless hentai. But that never happened.

I see what the story was going for, showcasing the bonding of these two characters. But ... the impact of this manga would have been stronger if the two main characters bonded in ways that didn't involve weird sexual acts. Any time the two characters became closer, something sexual immediately followed. It was aggravating. It was unnecessary.

Some of the characters were endearing and would have made a cute friend group if not for the overbearing perversion that overtook everything about this manga. You couldn't go 3 panels without something grotesque or unnecessary being shown.

Would not recommend.
