Fetishes aside, I have to say that this story, while not perfect, was very very good. Unlike many manga/anime that I've seen where the characters are very... um 2 dimensional? Hideo and Kurumi are very human. They are at times selfish and at others caring, sometimes stupid and at others brilliant.
The characters for the most part are reasonably developed, though I really would have liked to learn more about Kurumi's background which is hinted at several times but never fully explained.
Overall I really enjoyed this manga though it's not for the feint of heart. It was a roller coaster ride of emotions while watching the raw unfiltered very private parts of the characters lives. Having read this, I think I have a hint of the true meaning of boundless love.
