Review
OK, that was the most embarrassing synopsis I've typed yet. I can't believe somebody wrote that. How cheesy. Anyway.
This is rated mature. It has a lot of sexuality in it. This is more josei manga that I was excited about. I didn't realize that it was five short stories that are one chapter long. I don't really like short stories because there's not much time to develop anything with the characters or their situations. And I think that is true here. You're just thrown into the middle of stories, where some conflict happens, then some sex, and then it's resolved. I guess if you're just looking for a quick porn thrill, this is just for you. But me, I tend to want more, especially if sex is involved, because I have a hard time believing that people who just met can really be in love. If the love doesn't feel real to me, then the sex feels fake, and I'm not excited by it. Apparently I'm the only woman who feels this way, though.
About the stories, there's the forbidden love with the student, the friends with benefits, the abused girlfriend, the middle-aged guy dating a young girl, and strangest of all, the girl who gets pimped out to the pimp's friends. All of these stories have a happy endings, just like they're supposed to. Yet, I didn't really get to know the characters, so I couldn't really feel happy that things had worked out for them. In fact, a lot of the stories felt really fake, like that kind of thing could never happen. The only one that felt real was Pictures of Us, the one where the middle-aged guy meets an 18-year-old girl. This kind of thing could really happen, and there wasn't anything too creepy or weird about the story. But I can't say that it was good enough to buy the book for.
I love erotica, but I just don't think I'm going to buy anymore one chapter short stories. A one-shot book, sure.
Final thought: Don't waste your money.
