Before I even start, I want to let one thing be known; Yukimi is a god when it comes to artwork. Sadly, though everyone can easily appreciate art, not everybody will be able to stomach Yukimi's storytelling style. The first 3 chapters are easily the most conservative, being easily digestible and are excellent for the vanilla lover; sadly, next chapter is where the trouble begins. Starting with chapter 4 the mangaka begins to display his darker side with stories focusing on topics from deception and NTR, to full blown rape. Chapter 8 is a return to the lighter feeling of the first 3 chapters, but after that it continues with the heart-wrenchingly vivid and dark subject matter.
For the vanilla lover, this series of stories is NOT the first I'd recommend. However, if you're more of a connoisseur of the psychological/tragedy genre, then this could be called the essence perfection.

these stories are not what you would typically find in hentai; the rape here isn't mindless and senseless [Oyster], but serve the purpose of accentuating the melancholic tone that compels the reader to express sympathy for the characters without having to be utterly disgusted by the wanton suffering that befalls them.

Well, if you wanted to beat someone's head after 10, what did you want to do after reading Gemini or Cruel?

Except for a few chapters like Native Heart, this manga doesn't have much happy sex.

Fantastic artwork, clean, clear, with well drawn characters, but I wanted to beat someones head in after reading ch10.
Most of the other chapters are nowhere near as infuriating however and some are quite good.
Hope a following chapter shows the antagonists getting crushed to death by the fist of an angry god or something. Great chapter for sadists.

Yukimi is one of my fave H-artists. Well drawn. And with decent storyline too.
