The story itself is interesting, and by the end of vol 1, does leave the reader with a nice hook for the next vol.
The story falls apart in two area's
1. Characters, the male MC is just a whinny goody two shoes, that is being dragged along by the plot. He is as cookie cutter as they come, the female MC to me was interesting, and falls well within the crazy range, but doesn't built any sympathy for her as a person, and does a poor job as the males FOIL. The antagonist is really poor and hopes by the glimpse of backstory, we will be on their side.
2. The fan service is HORRIBLE, I understand having sex appeal, but the VERY FIRST page starts out with a very detailed pantie shot, while the Male MC is serious, in emotional chaos, while talking about a heavy subject. This is also the introduction to the Female MC, which sets her up as a sex doll, rather than a character, and the story suffers from this throughout book 1. Pantie/Bra shots are constantly breaking high tension spots in the story's flow and atmosphere.
