First the series seem geared to guys, because of the taboo love scenes. The main protagonist is a sensitive artist who cares about everyone and just so happens to attract various women who throw themselves at him. He of course is a gentleman to them and never takes advantage of them, except if there his OWN SISTERS. LOL my god....I cant believe they really thought that was a good idea. OK so there step siblings but still. So the main character I have problem with besides Natsuo is Hina. She is a high ranking chomo in every sense of the word. I know that boys have this older teacher fantasy, and many have the attitude of age is just a number. But to be so infatuated with a boy you probably only got pubes a few years before you meet him is disturbing. Even after the relationship was over and he was busy humping his other sister, she was still so infatuated by him that he could not let go. It is disturbing. The nail on the coffin for this series is the build-up to the dumpster fire ending. The whole series really revolved around the relationship what would build around Natsuo and Rui, even having a kid together. But because they feel bad for Hina, they say fuck our feeling and just stopped loving each other. Make it make sense. At the end chomo get the student she groomed. Rui becomes a single mom and their kid has some fuck up dynamics to deal with. I kinda feel bad for hina really, she could of had a wonderful character development where she understood that her feelings/relationship with this younger guy was wrong but maybe due to the stress of being in a affair with a married man, and she could mature to a level of understanding where although she did not regret her pass she could learn from it and move on in a mature manner fitting a woman. Instead she is stuck as the childish chomo who can barely cook. Its a good thing that Rui had a kid for Natsuo because the way Hina drinks her eggs are probably pickled. I saw the alternative ending but it seems just as haphazardly put together as the original ending, that even switching around the characters meant nothing at that point.
I wish I would of read reviews before I went into it, if only I could take my time back. The only redeeming thing about it at this point is reading the hilarious review other have written about the series. Someone called Natsuo a sack of potatoes it was the funniest part of the whole series.
