i have to agree with previous comments, the plot is good so are the characters, but the mangaka really is horrible at drawing the anatomy and it really gets scary!!!! XD

Hmm... It is very mature, but that is on of strong points. This manga is very realistic, that's why cutting of "mature" parts would be a crime. Honestly I liked main characters and plot.

One thing tha bugs me is style of drawing. Anatomy of characters is scary sometimes. When ribbs show off like that, it makes you wonder if they are actually alive... While reading you don't pay attention to any details, but it's only when reading...

Oh, well... still I 10 points. As a reader I enjoyed this manga.

Mmmm...rawr..thats all i can say..lol
this is actually a pretty good manga..
pretty cute story(not the ecchi and other stuff...the storayyyy)
..... i cant w8t for more...

*gotta love this manga *wink*

[ ] = recap, () = add-on. " " = quote/unquote, * = note, *censored* = censored

okay, let me get this straight! why is the main character looked at as the bad guy!? for leaving the house for a few days, after he couldn't find a job, exams were getting in the way, he's trying to get his mind straight, "trying" not to use sex to clear it (even though he did use it); but by the time they got to the end of the chapter he's the one being scolded!? even though he was scolded a lot in this manga; that's pretty much the one thing about this manga i hated! i like this manga, but that is seriously some messed up weight to put on a guy! first of all, why is he the one being scolded about going away for a little bit, just to get things straight in his mind, when in the middle of the manga, his girlfriend, Ageha, also happened to leave him without a trace, due to "personal" issues!? leaving no phone number, no address, and the only thing she left behind was a note? really? and yes, she does get scolded, but it's only in one chapter (that's brief), and not for leaving Tsutomu, it's because she left her late husband's family, WITHOUT a trace! she never talked to him about this until after just finding her! she's the one who needs a little flick, or whack to the head! why does he get a slap in the face, and in a fight?! oh, and by the time he does leave, that's when she starts regretting leaving him the first time! and she wants to scold him?! o_O after all that c*ckteasing, all that saying she liked him, and actually letting him stay with her, she up and ditches him!?

second, i in a way can't stand the senpai. he's one of the irritations that keep scolding the Tsutomu, mostly about his relationship, and he's never had a girlfriend at all! we never see one, they never talk about him having one, the only thing this guy's done was having a crush on Ageha, but never really confessed. after Tsutomu leaves, the senpai tries to make a move on on her, but she rejects him and he actually backs off, O_o huh? i mean i'm glad he did, but seeing the way this guy is, especially when he's drunk, i actually am now starting to think, what was the point of that? IDIOT! also, this guy keeps teasing Tsutomu about his impotence. SHUT UP WILL YA!? And here's a big thing, he actually praises Tsutomu for his hard working ways, while he himself, IS A *censored* FAILURE!!! ASS! he was a failed writier, a fool in his past, and didn't have anyone like Ageha to be with, so what does he know?! he's just as young as they are, how about a little support, mant?!

third, Morino is Tsutomu's ex, right? well, she's nuts okay, i think, even in a comedic way, she's nuts. I mean she went out with him for a while, but they explain that as soon as the time came when they actually were about to 'get it on', he couldn't get it up. because he's IMPOTENT! and that was the reason they broke up (even though they stay as friends). the only thing that could get it up is the girl he really loves, Ageha?! she is, even drunk, nuts! but during their trip at the beach she confessed to Tsutomu (again i guess), and told him that even though Tsutomu loves Ageha instead of her, that she, heartbrokenly, supports them; yet whenever she's around the both of them at the same time she's still an obsessive *censored*. [why does he get a slap in the face, and in a fight?!] (Morino looked like she wanted to attack Ageha at any moment, why didn't she!? *cat fight* ;3) GET OVER IT! Go out with senpai, he's available! and vice versa!*a duh*

fourth, by the time everyone starts calling the bastard, Tsutomu is being scolded, even by the people that say they've had crushes, BUT NEVER REALLY HAD A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP WITH ANYBODY! (except for Morino) HEEELLLOOOOOOOOO!

fifth, yes, he was a douche [but remember, Ageha, also happened to leave him without a trace, due to "personal" issues!? leaving no phone number, no address - so she was pretty much of a douche, too]. for leaving her w/out ANY trace, ANY address, and being with some other woman that she never met, and he only met during some failed interview! that was a jackass move! but people, for those who've mistook that he "slept" with her, that's all he did, SLEEP! he didn't actually have sex with her, one, because he wouldn't do it, and two, BECAUSE HE CAN'T DO IT; HE'S IMPOTENT! HEELLLOOOOO! the only one he can have sex with, is Ageha; remember!? and did you forget, that she was married, before meeting him!? so how do you think he felt when she told him that? (like he must of felt like she already had sex before; remember the love hotel?)

now before anybody says anything, let me tell you, i did not leave the baby out. yes, she's pregnant. and like i said before, Tsutomu left, and she's pregnant. and he just ran off like a jackass. that can't be justified. but what can be said is: he's had trouble job hunting, she took the job as a model, even though she didn't WANT to take it the first time, and it's because of his stress and tense, that he had sex with her. AND WHY THE HELL DON'T THOSE TWO USE CONDOMS!? and what is this photographer guy saying? see's in a predicament like this, so what's he talking about saying it's 'his fault'? do us a favor, man. either give him some good advice, like you did with Ageha, or SHUT THE *censored* UP!

now this comes down to six; the interviewers were ASS****'S! they asked him, "let's assume you were accepted into the company, but them something happened to that person. Wouldn't you just abandon your work again? Which would you choose? The important person, or your job?" ASS****'S! seriously, they want him to rather pick his job over people he loves?! what a bunch of dicks! yes, schooling is important, yes money is important, yes you need a job to pay for things, but those're trivial compared to loving people! and having to choose between them is mind-boggling! I for one thing at that, almost everybody, mostly the interviewers, are going through the trouble of trying to make him regret chasing after her! and he almost does; as you could see, he "almost" does!

seven, when he mentions his job interviews, he comes out and tells Ageha, 'that they didn't go well'; even though he doesn't go into details about why they didn't go well, she, and Mai Murata, the other chick (and who ever else i guess), seem to understand that he's going through some tough times with the hunt (even though she, Ageha, keeps wondering if his jobs weren't going well, and why he's so stiff and having sex with her so roughly, duh). i mean, what is she supposed to do? Ageha, Murata, Morino, the senpai, his family, and his colleagues, what can they to do, about it?! just write a letter of recommendation, or barging in unannounced, "demanding" that they give him a job?! the interviewers are dicks!

Now, i'm not trying to be bias, or anything, but as i was reading this manga, i could see the flaws that was going on in the story. that's why i read it. i didn't read just because of the, "mature content", but because it was also mature through experience. all i want to say is give the guy a break. it's also called, 'slice of life'. if anything, they need to make at least a few doujinshis about the other characters lives and that they aren't perfect. and that their decisions effect each other, not just themselves. AND WHERE IS THE OTHER CHAPTER ALREADY!? i know that 40 can't be it, it can't end there; so hurry up and bring it out already.

now, let's get one thing straight. i love this comic, i do. i really love it. it has a great touch of life, it has some good characters, and it even is a good story. does it have it's problems? yes. does it sometimes get on my nerve about a few things? yes. can it be melodramatic? yes. is it perfect? no. is it the best manga? no. but it's a good manga with a good story, a good setup, some likable characters, some funny moments, some intense moments, some raunchy moments, and a good "slice of life"! so i don't hate this manga. I really enjoy it. and i hope those of you who read will, too. because it's definitely one to check out.

from the genres I think its about the same like Honeymoon Salad

anyway it's quite interesting, unusual plot, good characters development.

I really want to like this manga but Osanai is just drawn like some poor anorexic girl during the multitude of ecchi scenes involving her which really doesn't sit well with me.

This is exactly what I was looking for for quite some time. It has all things I like about mature/adult mangas plus really great characters. I specialy like mood of the story. Now I´ll just sit and pray that translators haven´t dropped it and will release some new capter(s?) sometime soon ^___^

weird plot

[edit by mod, Warning, might contain spoilers]
This is a nice, well drawn manga. It looks realistic and the characters are too, like, the main male char-Tsutomu isnt' a "superstar" like cute but he is avrage. This is a "mature" manga and I always think about it being like a lolicon genre 'couse Ageha(the main female char) is so small, like a child .
