It definitely isn't my favorite of her work, but it's not bad. Not exactly my thing, but it is well written, and I can see why some people like it. It just didn't have enough of an ark to be satisfying.

Tags: eh ok Junko cute

I'd read this before a long time ago, and I've probably become more hard hearted since then. Oh how I remember the days before I was such a BL snob. Anyways, it's alright, not exactly beautiful or extremely sexy, but my loins were reasonably satisfied. It's pretty basic, I think my favorite is the last couple, they suit each other. I would recommend it, probably, especially if I knew the person already enjoyed Junko's work.

I sort of liked the art, but this type of story just isn't my thing. I feel like this could have been done better, if I'm honest. As soon as the first "No" is uttered, I completely lose my theoretical erection. Consent is hot, consent is sexy. I get that it's fiction, but it still bothers me a bit. I didn't HATE it, but would not recommend or read again

Wow, I really wanted to like this manga, I was enjoying it right up until the "sex scene". This is a pretty graphic rape scene, sure, the guy wasn't upset after, just a bit disgruntled, but there was very clear "I don't want you to do this to me, please stop" and "I don't care, I'm doing it anyway", which I cannot accept, ever. I really liked the art, so this is very disappointing.

Wow, I was expecting to like this, even if it was just a bunch of fluff with no plot, but I really hated this, I wish I hadn't stayed up to read it. Eh, we live and learn. This manga was like "Oh, maybe this will be the opportunity the author takes to make it interesting- wait, nope, nothing, once again." I mean, the first story had no meat to it at all, but there was fear of rejection and then they boned and happily ever after, but with the second story? No. It had a teensy bit of conflict, but I HATED the conflict. At the end of chapter three everything seems to be fine, but this guy was a total dick, he really degraded the other character, he just threw hurtful things at him, and the opportunity for a really hot rough sex scene that could have happened with the "I want you to use more force with me"(that might have been worded SLIGHTLY differently, so shoot me), but NOTHING, we got like one panel and then we were jilted. I feel jilted. I only give 1 star ratings to manga with rape scenes, so this one got 2 stars, but I'm seriously disappointed.

I wanted to like this manga so much, but I just couldn't, I hated it, I was like "Oh, cool, sex toys and weird robots, totally up my alley" but it was just, ugh, no. Didn't work. Wouldn't recommend. This was just, no.

Everyone else loved it, so I thought I'd like it, but I was so disappointed. The first story was so horrible, and the second was ok. Still chalk full of cliches. The fact that certain characters were referred to by their occupations instead of their names was pretty hilarious. Calling someone by "Old master" and "Head butler", I'm sorry, it was just really funny. And it was just really weird, and read a little fanfiction-y. Wouldn't read again.
