 “I want to feel Oya pulsing inside of me as much as I can. It reminds me… that he’s still alive.” 

 Well, y’all know what time it is. This manga had one job, but the sexy scenes still ain’t sexy. The tongue kisses still look lizard-gross.

Oya is a locomotive that never gives out of steam or dick, and Yuri is just a water fountain on command. I mean, I guess.

I’m not going to touch the paper-thin plot and characters, the cliches (it’s got your favorite shoujo trope, ladies: narrowly escaping sexual harassment + assault [sarcasm]), or the cringe. Both the characters are just so bland. This series isn’t trying to reach any readable standards, and it acknowledges that. It just wants to look cute and be sexy (which it is not imo). Let this book be the plotless smut it wants to be.

If I'm being honest, it's really bad and not even in a guilty pleasure sort of way. Still, for what it is, most will find it entertaining. But it’s a bit too cartoony for me.
