In the Masque of the Red Death by Poe, the chambers of the fortress make an erotic journey by which the antagonist-flow penetrates, slipping through like water pours through cracks in stone, following the channels and pathways set for it by what it invades. This anime does the same thing, using the social-cultural facts of food in order to be the linguistic-chambers of flow for the erotic flows of sexuality and romance which are shared by the two main characters. The food is obviously a metaphor for sex, pornographic shots of consumption and orgasmic expressions resulting. What's interesting isn't so much the fact of food being a metaphor for sex, but the fashion in which sex is related to the two characters. The characters share their experience culturally and socially, which provides the vehicles by which they share the erotic experiences. It's in this that we find the ultimate point of this series, the way in which *romance*, the cultural and social rituals, prepare the mind for a fully realized experience of desire, the fleshly-level emotion within it.

This being said, it felt overly long. This didn't need twelve episodes to get this point across. Very repetitious.
