As AMetroid points out and as should be expected from Harumi Chihiro, the manga spends a lot of time on sex scenes, that, although inexplicit, don't leave overly much to the imagination. Spending more time on the story would be welcome. Nevertheless the story comes through reasonably well, more than well enough for a light entertainment.
The art is well drawn: not only neat and easy to follow but also just generally pleasant to admire. I also agree with Darknemo, the characters are well made, the salary man hero as well as our not-so-typical tsundere heroine.
Further to that, the plot (as far as the 9th chapter) is intriguing and has a mix of slice-of-life, slowly developing romance between the hero and heroine, hints at their pasts and a bit of foreshadowing for suspense. The exploration of love, friendship, sex and money is far from brilliantly unique so dont expect this to manga to change your world philosophy but it is very well executed and has its touching moments.
All in all, a very good read. Recommended.

Tsundere heroine

It is a good story. Main heroine is a tsundere, but not your usual tsundere type but the classical (oldfashioned) tsundere of the 80's. Starts aloof but progresses to dere eventually. Those who vote the tsundere tag down obviously dont know much about tsundere and just hang on Type A tsundere definition which is incorrect.
Its a good story of finding a relationship, but it gets complicated and more exciting than simple love story. Explores human loneliness and the meaning of friends. Sex scenes are often but doesnt really make the story less good in most cases.
A deep story, complicated characters and hot tsundere (albeit not Type A) main heroine. This is a formula to a successful manga.
Edit. After ch 24 I have to down a rating a little. Kano did not betray Nitta as there was no relationship but she did betray the reader since the whole progression of her character went out of the window with that chapter. Not to mention a really poorly done ending. Still good manga, but not great.

Good development by V4

Well the past 5 chapters or so have really kicked up the plot and character development. The intrigue is a bit "soap opera-y", but I found it interesting.
Rating: 4/5
If you like seinen drama, and don't mind the softcore action, you should end up liking this manga.
I see it wrapping up in v5. It could be extended 2 more volumes, but not at the pace v4 was at.
Update: (19 Aug 11)
Read: 15 chapters
A few plot threads have been tossed out there but still mostly softcore porn. Negligible character development.
The story is that a hot, rich, younger girl, who enjoys casual sex, is suddenly tossed together with a slightly above average mid 20 something salaryman who works in sales.
So far much more page space has been dedicated to showing non-explicit sex then to developing the characters. The story could still start tossing in more characterization and bump it up from meh. But I won't hold much hope if it doesn't show up by ch 15.

Is keeps reading with the great art style, but if your looking for a story its really hard to follow at the beginning. They should have had a few pages showing how his life is usually unlucky, then continued with what they started with.
