Description
The heroine is named Kinoshita Sakiko. She is 20 years old, and a college student. She is totally in love with her 28 year old university professor, Chifyu-sensei. He is tall, moody, and handsome, with short dark hair and sexy eyes. Unfortunately for Sakiko, he always refuses her very aggressive displays of affection. Yet she never gives up. Even when faced with a housing crisis, Sakiko goes to drastic lengths to earn money so she can stay in the area and continue her pursuit of her teacher. However Sakiko isn't very bright when it comes to making money. She actually tries to sell herself on a street corner!! But her price is too high, and no one is interested. Then she meets a guy on the street named Natsuo. He is also really cute, with long blond hair. He is interested in Sakiko, and after one really great kiss, he takes her to his apartment. Things are starting to get steamy when they are interrupted by the arrival of Natsuo's brother. Guess who it is?

I really despise such heroine, i dont agree with affairs and all. but i guess if love is soo strong, i guess things get messed up. us humans can make the mistake of having an affair. BUT this lady is ..
its nothing to her. it was TOO CASUAL for her. whther we're the mistress or the one being cheated on, atleast have some kind of shame or regret.

But anyway, its a manga, many things happen.

its funny, argh! but the heroine upsets me, even though if i was such person to have an affair with a married man, its annoying how its like she sees NOTHING WRONG.

P.S i dropped it long ago, and just recently opened it to check out the ending, but I do admit, it is funny until I couldnt take the girl's character. I give it a 6.5, love the art, it is pretty hilarious from where i stopped.

I really liked the manga but I believe this is like... an acquired taste.

The super deformed version of the character appearing all the time, even when things got to a really dramatic part, or even in the middle of passionate sex, kind of gets on your nerves, specially if you, like me, don't really like your main female character looking like a deformed and ugly toy.

Adultery treated so lightly in the manga makes you feel awkward because you know that in real life things would not be solved in such a simple way. It gets weird when really serious things like when the main male character's wife finds out about him having a relationship with another girl are treated like something not important or even stupid. It's a comedy. There's NO doubt about it.

In the 4th volume things do get a bit (a tiny bit) more serious and things start to be solved. I liked the fact that even though it was a comedy it could have a more or less serious ending.

I won't lie, I don't like this mangaka much. Her sense of humor never got me that much- the ugly little chibi drawing of the girl being perverted didn't really strike me as funny, and this mangaka always has those. :/ I just don't find it funny. Though I did laugh a few times. The chastity belt made me laugh.

I thought I'd give it a shot. I liked the smut, I won't lie. That part was pretty decent. But the adultery was disturbing to me. Especially how quickly the older brother caved in. A normal person would've really told her to get, not just in a joking way. She was jokingly portrayed as a stalker, but I just didn't like that. It was creepy and weird.
Spoiler (highlight to view)
I really don't care that his wife ended up handing him over, it was still wrong how easily he made the main character his mistress. :/ wtf. Their entire relationship was weird and superficial. She didn't love him, she stalked him. And then all she did was do perverted things with him. Not only that, but she had sex with his brother so easily. The loose morals were extremely vexing.


She also was loose and idiotic, so that just sort of killed the manga for me. This mangaka always has preverted-no-brained women as the heroines. I can't stand it.

main character is one of the most idiotic women ive ever seen in a manga, seriously doesnt she have any dignity? and the girlfriend of one of the brothers is such a witch always calling the main girl ugly, how annoying. whats ugly is her attitude. i dont mind main characters that are not beautiful but does this author have to make the girl do such disgusting faces, her main girl characters are so obnoxious and gross. why would anyone think that since they cant have one guy they have to immediately hop into bed with their brother? i know some people dont see sex as a big deal but this girl just hopped into bed with the first available guy most girls wont act like that. and most guys wouldnt want a girl afters shes slept with their brother. he didnt even seem to mind.
for examples: chapter 14 page 6
by the way i disagree with someone here that says its okay for a girl to sleep around because its okay for a guy, to me its gross with both sexes.

Ohh I had so many mixed feelings on this one. I despise adultery, one person having multiple partners at once and the like, and the nonchalant approach to it made me angry, initially. The fact the female lead loved both brothers and they were okay with that was unbearable at first, as well.
But around chapter 10 I started to get actually hooked. The mangaka's usual humor kicked in while at the same time things got more serious, and by the last chapter I was teary-eyed and very happy I stuck with this.

So, yes, initially I can safely say everyone will probably hate this due to the nonchalant approach to controversial themese such as adultery like I did, but by the end you realize everything was not mindless babble. The important thing to remember (without spoiling the story) is love is complicated but everyone only has one person in the end. The issues as they seem in the begining are not what they look like at the end.
And I promise you the female lead gets smarter than she starts out as.

Conclusion: Art and comedy are perfect as usual (the real comedy didn't kick in for me until chapter 10-ish, though, but once it does you won't stop laughing), and if you manage to suffer through the first half the ending really makes things worth it.
I have to say this is one of my favorite YOSIHHARA works just because this is the first that made me laugh as well as get teary-eyed with happiness.

This manga was recommended to me because of the amount of comedy in it, which was supposed to be very high and good. And I've gotta admit, this manga was freakin' funny! I just laughed out loud, many times. Sakiko is just so stupid and the way the mangaka drew her, like she's a cat or something it's just so funny.
I just couldn't rate it higher than a 7 though, because the storyline didn't really hook me and some things (well the whole story actually) were just too unrealistic and of course, no manga is realistic but when you're like: 'Wtf, this is just way too crazy. Who the fuck responds like that?' the only answer can be: an oversexed mangaka with an unhealthy amount of imagination. I really love Yuki Yoshihara though. She is very funny and I've really enjoyed reading her works.
Recommended as a light read!

I don't believe in adultery and I think that it kind of crossed the line a bit in this manga. However there were some funny parts through out the story line and I found myself chuckling on more than a few occasions.

Yoshihara-sensei is probably one of my favorite artists. Her characters are always well-develop, her plots are always simple, and she never ceases to make me laugh.

But, truth be told, I'm not really crazy about this one. Although it shares some similarities to Itadakimasu, the latter is just a little bit more bearable for me. Had the love triangle excluded that one particular complexity, then I would have been able to appreciate it more.

This is probably the only series that I've read by Yoshihara that I didn't completely like, but I won't deny it's fun factor and classic Yoshihara humor either.

I love Yoshihara Yuki! This manga cracks me up. So funny.
The plot is a bit insipid(okay, a lot insipid), but it's enjoyable.
It's funny. And I have to say, the art isn't half bad either. Classic smut art--pleasing to the eye, and Yoshihara throws in some very funny faces.

The humor is a tad mature, as are some of the scenes, but I think most of us can handle it. That being said, it's classic Yoshihara Yuki, so if you didn't like her other work, then I don't think this is the manga for you.

Um...I usually love Yoshihara-sensei's stuff (because of the complete and utter crack), but this series just didn't do it for me. Sakiko, what were you thinking?

Spoiler (highlight to view)
Losing your virginity to your love interest’s younger brother, and proceeding to practice sex techniques with him while still claiming to be head over heels for the love interest? That's kinda....


Strangely enough, I loved the character design. Their personalities were pretty good, and they were quite comical. Had that central plot been a little different, I would have loved this story just as much as sensei's others. I know that Sakiko was made out to be a straight forward "go-getter"-type heroine (and most of the time I really loved her for that), but *sigh*...really now. I was a little disappointed. I'm not even going to lie.

Like I've said, I don't hate this series. It was actually very good, and Yoshihara'sensei is just as thorough as ever. This one series just wasn't my thing. That's just my opinion though. Nothing more
