Just like everyone after seeing the first episode of anime, I got curious and started reading the manga just whether to continue to watch anime or not after. But after 24 hours I'm in chapter 200, with a vision of writing a review.
There is a saying that looking for a plot in hentai is really stupid, but in fact, this has one, just like every other romance manga (like Nana) where MC is in love triangle and has a problem in selecting whom without hurting the other. I would say that the story isn't great or anything if you look at it from a shoujo/romance manga's point of view, in fact, it has a storyline like that of milking money out of a weak plot. But if you look at from the hentai point of view, I would say it has a more realistic scenario than most hentai.
I'll stop here about the pros and cons and dive into what the overall plot is with minor spoiler (which aren't spoilers but just my opinion):
From all the chapters I've read I can understand where this manga is going, Basically it looks like any other harem story where MC is a nice person and all the girls start falling for him, but I think it's all just to keep the plot going as the main objective is that MC must love both step-sisters and eventually marry both of them and happily live ever after.
But what I liked the most was, it tackles some realistic topics like the competition in the literary world, the marketing techniques etc (of course being an author is easy to write it as being acquainted) which is what I liked in Nana(manga) which deals with the music industry.
Coming to character development:
Well, character development of the 3 MCs is good. In fact, like many mentioned it started out great in early chapters but with the cast growing enormously it was obviously difficult to concentrate on everyone, so that's a major drawback but of course why would anyone want to observe this in a hentai.
Rui: She is the younger step sister who is like the cute dense waifu character who has weak (wrong) communication skills but manages to get what she wants as she expresses without being shy. I personally vouch for her.
Hina: She is the older sister who is like the cheerful ideal girlfriend who gets hurt while trying to meet the expectations of people while suppressing her own feeling. I like her as she is just like me who is a bit realistic and mature in thinking. (but I personally like Rui over her)
Natsuo: He is a writer and an ideal harem kingu but I kinda liked his character (though I hate a harem MC) as he is actually aware of his surroundings and acts accordingly unlike some Mc’s who kiss their girlfriend in front of other crush or give in to seductions by cheating on their present girlfriend. Although he starts out immature but in the long run, you could see him handle things well.
Other characters are basically there to either break or make the relationship possible between MC and either of the two sisters.
Some people might be offended thinking that incest is being involved but the MC is acquainted with both the sisters way before their parents marry and they aren’t even related by blood so I think there is nothing wrong with the plot. The jokes are handled well, not too much exaggeration but not too hilarious either, but it has really good irritating plot twists which keep the story interesting.
Well sorry for writing such a long review for a hentai, overall it wasn’t a trash, but it’s a good hentai with some realistic elements. Just read it for erotic pleasure, it doesn’t deal with any life teaching topics, it’s just your normal soap opera with twists at the end of every chapter. It’s worth the time if you willing to read an erotic manga :)
P.S: Did I mention the words erotic and hentai too many times, well I''m sorry :P
