This review may have some plot spoilers, as it is very short and condensed.
Series navigate trough life of few young people. What I initially felt like an excuse to jump straight into sex scenes, quickly turned into sad, melodramatic and unpleasant read, and I doubt it was well thought idea of the author - rather an accidental result.
Art is messy, hard to follow at times. Characters are weird. Nature of people portrayed... Not sure if flat with one weird quirk or so quirky, that they appear flat because of their initial actions and later interactions.
The main thing I take from this series is that I
...
am probably lucky because I don't know that many so messed up people.
If this is how some see sex as, I feel very sorry for them being animals reacting to their primitive urges, having simplistic pleasures higher than healthy relationships and proper bonding in their hierarchy.
Or I am very unlucky, because out of many people I've met, not a single one after 5-10 minutes of small talk decided to grab my dick and do porn-grade fellatio - and that's what happening withing first few pages of 1/3rd of the series.
Whole manga could summed up as "we fuck because we have issues, we have issues because we fuck - let's fuck!".
From my perspective, most concepts and situations seem very immature, naive. Whole "I somewhat know you, lemme suck your dick" plot and execution is shallow. There are pure hentai stories doing much better job explaining why two people are going to bed, and those are stories like "help, I fell into pit of dick snakes!!".
Aka just can't make up it's mind if it wants to be drama, dramedy, porn or something else.
Narration is messy, characters act like dissociated robots or feral animals in heat. Lack of any morality isn't explained, it's expected from the reader to be accepted as a default.
I like the idea of throwing more mature ideas inside, but this is handled with finesse of a wrecking ball shot trough a cannon into a glassware shop. Not so great.
Should you read it? Long story short: no.
It is short read. Even so, dialogues are handled poorly, you either have almost none or too much words. Walls of text detached from what's happening or messy onomatopeia floating everywhere during sex scenes.
Like said previously, art is messy. Sometimes females are drawn weirdly too clean compared to everything else, and having sort of alien or detached physique compared to surroundings.
Style looks like it is emulating Kotoyama drawings, but it is clearance bargain bin Kotoyama at best, with -90% sticker plastered on top of -60% sale one.
There are better stories delving into human nature and relationships. There are better stories showing intercourse.
And there are better stories combining both.
If you want, read something like manual how to wear sports socks or label of shampoo - these will enrich your life compared to this series.
