It's not awful, but it doesn't hold up that well after 15 years. It's not so much the "rape is nbd" stuff as the fact that the narrative surrounding the rape(s) feels kind of cheap. To me this feels like the sort of affected dramatic open-ended stuff I would have liked as a teenager.
That being said, it's still a pretty enjoyable collection of stories.

Of fucked up stories. The cliffhangers kinda imply that life doesn't really end at that point of time until death. It always means that there will always be tomorrow. Although because of that, I felt incomplete. But at the same time, it's the beauty of it.
I liked this one, especially the darkness and the show of lonliness. I do wish that it could have been one long stroy though but I guess the author wants to fit in all the short stories that she comes up with...Because of the random short stories I like the prequel more but gosh Jin x Mari is great... Shame that it kind of didn't happen at the same time...
In Mari and Jin's stories, Rio was the only one I could actually care for. He almost brought tears to my eyes. Such a beautiful and wonderfully developed character. I would love to see more and more of him. As for Mari and Jin themselves I couldn't really care for what was going on. Back in Tobira I already didn't, apart from the fact they reminded me of Matt and Mello so much. And of course Mari is extremely hot so I'll grant him that. But their story was still quite enjoyable, even though I wouldn't suggest it to anyone who's in the mood for love. You won't get past many broken hearts here, possibly yours.
Chapter 6 was probably my favourite. It made me laugh and I love to laugh. Plus, I really like Cys and Kai :3

I wish there was more to the main story. I really like all of the characters, and would have loved to see more of their background, and futures. Still not bad overall.
Ch. 5 was... just silly. not worth reading unless you just want to read some fluff.
Ch. 3 was my favorite of the one shots. Also wish there was more to that, but oh well.
Worth reading I guess, but not worth reading twice...
LOVE the art

The mangaka has an unlike way of telling a story, the pacing it's slow and calm, they told u every important detail and that makes u get engaged to this story... , and really it's so full of emotion that u even suffer like this poor characters that she/he created...
Even thought it's a kind of sad manga... it's different... and that's what it makes it interesting...

I wish the castrated boy had at least a tankobon of chapters for him alone! Now there's an issue I have never seen seriously examined in romance manga!
Anyway! The men in these stories speak of intelligence and complexity, but the reader never really gets to know them. The storytelling leaps, assuming too much, and the incomplete feeling is frustrating because what IS offered is so compelling!
The art is exceptional! It has a sketchy, gritty feel, and it offers realism of emotion with its simplification of faces and moments.

this collection is littered with broken people in broken relationship. there is no perfect happy ending for any of them but somehow they can take it with a smile. shoowa remind me of kano sensei with her simple art and melancholic air it exude. overall the stories are depressing but the end may lighten up the mood a bit. definitely worth reading.
This is collection has quite a lovely set of stories (except for the one in chapter 5). Such drama is not usually my cup of tea but all these stories (except for chapter 5) had me quite exited about turning the next page. I love them all (but seriously the one in chapter 5 ruined an otherwise perfect manga. I hated it so much I'm crying tears of frustration! It was disgusting! DISGUSTING!!!). I greatly recommend this to all fans of serious stories with a beautiful plot (but skip chapter 5).

I really liked this manga. The Art was awesome and the stories were great, too. I wish there were more mangas by SHOOWA! Unfortunately I already read them all.
The first story was great but I felt like there was something unfinished about it. Too much left unsaid and unthought. I sooo would have liked a continuation...
