Simple series on complicated things

by Arde

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

A great series for mature minded people.
Instead of the usual pure-minded shy or too overactive girls penned to manipulate loser male readers with no experience whatsoever.... this series is meant to show the complicated thing called attraction, relationship, and especially on the very complicated creatures known as girls.
For those who want fake corny simplified dumb romance, stay with your safe shoujo and shonen books, but for those who are mentally old enough, you'd enjoy this series.

Awful and unsympathetic manga

One of the worse manga i've ever read. All the stories are basically the same and are mainly focussed on sex. This doesn't have to a bad thing, but the stories have really bad plots, and the characters are even more disgusting, especially the female characters, who are portraited as manipulaters and cheaters. The male characters aren't any much better; they never show any kind of backbone or common sense and are easily persuaded by the females or by their own weird, illogical and senseless morals.
It's a really a shame though, because the art really looks nice.

Don't really get what everyone hates about it. Good artwork, interesting little stories. Okay so it feels a bit like a trashy semi-porn collection of stories; but I don't see why this is a bad thing.
And what the hell is wrong with being a pervert, if anything that's healthy.

Nice series! It's not that the author really want to show human's flaw I think, their carefreeness is more of the point. I'm kinda bored with typical of romance-ecchi manga nowadays. And if u feel the same, reading it will worth a try ^^

Disappointing

This is a poorly written manga, mainly because the female characters are cruel and manipulating. Some claim that this makes it good because real people are flawed, but that's just plain wrong. The characters in these stories are not flawed, they're just dumb and inconsiderate. Characters with flaws usually struggle over moral issues and may make the wrong choice, but at least they've shown that they've thought it through. The characters in this manga have absolutely no such depth. They do what they do, and they never show any regret or doubt, or the consequences of their actions. In fact, the author apparently tries to justify it. It's like cheating on a guy with his own brother is perfectly fine, or manipulating a guy into sex, when what he really wants is a relationship. That would be fine, if they would elaborate or show the consequences of acting in such a way, but they don't. Most of the female characters are simply without any depth, as opposed to the male characters in this.
Sure, girls can be bitches in real life, but that doesn't mean I want to read about, unless they give the characters depth, and elaborate on the consequences of such behaviour.

Better than I thought

I first thought this is just one of those brainless ecchi high school romances. But after 12 chapters, I see that there's more substance here. Each chapter is a stand-alone story about teenagers' love and sex lives, and they're all surprisingly well-written.

The characters - especially the female characters - have been unique and unpredictable. The girls are simultaneously adorable, manipulative, and horny - just like real girls. They're just as confused as the boys when it comes to sex and love, and they don't easily fall into stereotypes. I find myself caring about these characters more because they actually have human flaws.

The sex scenes are tastefully done, and don't feel as gratuitous as I feared, because many of them are actually central to the plot. Sometimes, characters have sex because of love, but sometimes, they have sex because of loneliness, and sometimes, they do it just because they're horny.

The stories don't always play out the way I expected. You see these school kids struggling with their sexual urges, and romantic feelings, and things don't always end well. Some stories are funny (such as the boy who falls in love with a girl who hates sex), but many are bittersweet (such as the story of the boy who falls in love with his step-sister).

Give it a try. You may be surprised.

Well I see this as the opposite of Salad Days which I prefer people to read. This just makes it all wrong.

Teenagers being stupid and oversexed. Who woulda thought it?

Yeah, they're all stupid, dishonest, occasionally unpleasant and often unsympathetic. I’m a Christian but I enjoy reading about flawed people, and they all feel very real to me. It’s also nice to see some guys who aren’t perverts and girls who aren’t sweet and kind in a romantic story, almost seeming the other way around at time.

Nice Series

by [deleted member]

This is the kind of series that simulates various types of scenarios with unique relationships and a lot of ecchi. Some of them are heartwarming while others are shocking, it really depends. The art is superb although the style may take a couple pages to adjust to. Also, a small handful of characters and plotlines are reused, but it's done in a very creative fashion that makes for an interesting read. Overall, it's great if you're into ecchi and romance. But if you're offended by excessive sexual content, then you might want to stay away from this.
