The story, as i see it, has been carefully thought through. Even the psychology of the plot and the actions the characters took seemed real enough that it could be happening in reality. The various conflicts of emotions and interests give this series are really interesting edge. It's like the things that went in this manga could have happened in real life. I'm not really bothered with how much angst there is, because in reality, i know people act like that even if it seems cliche on manga. Even though we'll think it'll end up well, the journey towards the end contained enough very interesting conflicts to keep me hooked and amused and excited for the next developments.
Art wise though, comparing with other mangas on my favorites on this genre, it doesn't rate that high, but i like how the scenes depicting the sex scenes didn't overpower the plot of the manga. Add to that is the sensuality of the act is there. It's at this right mixture that you will enjoy the sex scenes but still not forgetting the entire plot.
Each character was made to look really unique from each other that people who have less patience on memorizing manga faces to their names won't have that much of a problem. Some characters show a lot of angst but i don't think it's bad. The emotions of each character, in my opinion more or less, resembles real people and that in itself is a good aspect.
I really enjoyed reading this manga so much that i don't regret having had to stay up till 3 AM to finish reading every chapter.
