You're completely right. That was exactly what I was thinking. The story wasn't half bad, but the sex scenes were just too much and also of that run-off-the-mill porno quality. They made it difficult to follow the story. Well, fast forward helped a lot, though ^^. That's such a pity. Harumi Chihiro's artwork is so nice and the stories are pretty good too. Velvet Kiss also suffered a bit from this, but not to this degree.
I never thought I would say those words but there's just too much sex. (⊙…⊙ ) I know. But, seriously, the sex took over the plot at some point and I don't even remember what was supposed to have happened. Don't get me wrong, I love PWP (porn without plot) when it establishes itself as PWP. Gimme the briefest of introductions to the characters and then draw them in bed- cool. But this went through the trouble of setting up a plot just to have nothing happen but sex. It was almost like the author would throw in a sex scene whenever s/he had writer's block...It reminded me of one of those cheesy pornos where rpthey set up a 15 minute intro with some delivery man or handyman coming to a lady's house, only to turn into scenes where you couldn't tell them apart from any other characters. Why even waste our time with the narrative in the first place then?
