I like to indulge in some smut now and then so i decided to give it a read. It had your usual semi-rape scenes with girl squealing, and then it turned into something more interesting with a deeper story line. Unfortunately the direction of this story line went to the bin with her brother being in love with her, in the end the story lost itself completely. It turned from something which could possibly have been a cute story to convoluted nonsense.

Nonetheless it is readable, and i would recommend you read it if you have nothing better to read.

To begin, I would like to say that Yokujou Climax had an extremely interesting basis for its plot-line; however, on top of the story feeling as though it progressed too quickly, it also felt as though there were too many elements being added to the plot. As I read the manga, it seemed to me like the plot was made to be unnecessarily complex. Complexity can, of course, add a lot of depth to a story if it is gone about correctly; however, Yokujou Climax got confusing at times when, if the plot had not taken extreme turns that seemed completely out of the blue, ... it could have made for an interesting, yet easy enough to comprehend, tale. In addition, another complaint I have with this particular manga is that the characters' emotions seemed out of reach and unnatural at most points. They did not remain very stable as the story progressed--their personalities and emotions being inconsistent--which made it difficult to become involved with the characters.

All of that being said, Yokujou Climax does offer beautiful art, great explicit scenes, and it keeps the reader guessing on what crazy scenarios will come about next! It was a decently enjoyable read despite its negative aspects.

Story: 5, because details and complexity, but in the end it didn’t make any sense. I think it was Ch. 18 where I literally said WTF out loud. There are some weird twists in this series. Very non consistent practically every chapter ending.

Art: 7, it’s really not that bad.

Characters: 2, because holy f*** there is really no character development AT ALL. I don’t mind sexy/sex scenes, but I think this series wanted to focus on the sexy aspects and nothing else.

Enjoyment: 3, as it was so insane and constantly changing i had to read it completely.

Overall: 4, only thing I enjoyed mostly was the art ... and insanity.
