Read it quite quickly. The art style, a bit comic like, is distinctive and fits the grim but sweet story being told. The gimmick, a person (Asako) capable of absorbing the last moment of a murder victim to the point of suffering their wounds, could have span multiple volumes but the story being told wasn't full enough for that. I expected a bit more from the murder case&the complex feelings of second handed love, but neither the plot nor the relationship got very complicated or twisted.
Obviously the center piece was the difficulty for both characters to know who they were caring for : the memory

The sex scenes are

Not mind-blowing in any ways and has a weak conflict to propell the story (if any at all) but the characters are good natured cuties and make for good moments. The art is good, Yuitsu knows how to make cute-hot faces and sex scenes as well, and enough sweet dialogues that weren't cringe once translated in my native language. The contrast between the two mains (hot, composed host x flustered puppy) is fun to witness, but as with the conflicts, it doesn't evolve as it could have. The dynamic of mentor-student in the realm of seduction should have yielded hotter scenes in my opinion, probably
