(ongoing review)
V1 c1- Ii Ko + Ii Koto (イイコ+イイコト, Good Girl + Good Things) [Homura Subaru]
Cute, with lots of bathing and lotion involved.
Art style and story positively reminded me of a chapter in "Asumi-chan is interested in lesbian brothels".

V1 c2- Sugar Cigaret (sugar cigaret) [Iwami Kiyoko]
The most popular sex worker (Nanako) has to train the most unpopular one (Akira), as the latter ain't doing a good job in being a top. The challenge is for Akira to satisfy Nanako (who's also a top) at the end of a month's training.
Seems like they're both switches, actually, but anyways...
Wonderful art, especially the hair.

V1 c3- PafuPafu (PafuPafu) [Kodama Naoko]
Woman can't focus on her job, cause her co-worker has very large breasts and it keeps turning her on. To satisfy her lust, she seeks out a lesbian service, only to find her co-worker there... but hey, now she can finally admire the boobs from close up.
Very very short, but not bad.

V1 c4- Namidame Prince (ナミダメ・プリンス, Teary Eyed Prince) [Mashimaru (ましまる)]
Sumika and Noa, two childhood friends, who have seperated after a fight/incident, and then coincidentally meet again years later.
I would've liked to know what exactly they fought over. I guess it was sexual assault? No seems to be younger, so it could be that she didn't understand back then. (Similar concept to "Asumi-chan", i guess?)
Overall cute but doesn't stand out compared to the others.

V1 c7- Kaori ni Tsutsumarete (香りに包まれて, Wrapped in Fragrance) [Renjou Hani (蓮城はに)]
Yuna (seems to be) the only sex worker at the brothel. While she doesn't mind her work, she'd much rather do it with her manager (?).
Good age-gap.
The art style matches the title quite well. Very flowery.

V1 c8- Sayonara, Shirayukihime (さよなら、白雪姫, Good Bye, Snow White) [Katakura Ako]
A bit confusing due to the characters looking so alike and the artstyle being rather "sketchy" and simple. And also the time-skip was quite random.
Another chapter with it being romance-heavy, but the different part is that the two dating are both sex workers in the same company. Nice.

V2 c1- Fine Our Fine (Homura Subaru)
Nanami has been a repeated customer of Yuki, so much that she's fallen for her. Yuki, however, has some bad news for her...
That was cute. Another lotion chapter with similar characters, so I low-key thought it was the same as in volume 1, but no, they're different. (I'm a lil tired.)

V2 c?- My sugar cat (Iwami Kiyoko)
A sequel of Iwami's chapter in volume 1, but as a spin-off. Inui, a writer at a women's magazine, and Nekojima, the editor-in-chief, try out a bit of a different topic: lesbian brothels. But the requirement is to write from personal experience, so they both go to the same sex worker (Akira), seperataley.
Cliche, but still a nice twist. It was cool seeing Akira again.

V3 c1- Premium for you (Homura Subaru)
Hmm, another couple that fell for each other after seeing each other many times. The theme is getting a bit annoying. If it does actually happen often in the industry, okay, but it's starting to feel much more of a romance anthology, than a brothel one. I want a bit more diversity!
Very good art tho.

V3 c2- Desire to dominate (Namori)
And just when I thought this was another romance route, it surprises me. Good "twist".
Rating: 9/10 -24.08.24
V3 c8- Clockwork sugar night (Iwami Kiyoko)
Another romance route, but this one was handled pretty well actually.
Instead of quitting the job to be her costumer's girlfriend "forever", they keep meeting up until they can go to another "premium date". Love that!
Also, I really love the way Iwami draws hair.
