This collection of stories is one of the mangaka's earlier works in her career and it shows. Not that the stories are bad or anything, but you can tell sensei was still exploring and developing her style at that stage, including even the art. I thought the manga was fine overall despite its flaws, and there are some quite solid moments especially in the second story where Saitou is the protagonist. He and his lover are my favourite characters and couple out of the whole book too.
