While I said in last volume, that I liked the variety more, now I like the routine she has with Nanao more. (Well, more or less. I still like the variety with the brothels, but also this. Although not really healthy in the long run.) Though that brothel chapter was also nice.
Have I mentioned how much I love the way the author approaches sex? Breaks all stereotypes or popular tropes and gives them the healthy/positive alternative.
I’m still surprised of how wholesome this manga is. Actually became one of my comfort mangas. Which is kinda weird as a sex-repulsed ace, but also shows how good the author is.
Can't wait for volume 6! Although I’m afraid it might come to an end soon. I was hoping for it to run forever, like One Piece or Pokemon. :( At least I hope Nanao gets her happy ending. She really grew on me.
I totally forgot about Mai, the actual reason this whole story even started, and wouldn’t mind if Asumi actually chooses Nanao or ends up with someone else than Mai. We don’t really know anything about Mai after all, so it’s kinda difficult to ship them. And, yk, you don’t always have to end up with your first crush.
Look, uh, well, it’s still probably the best manga sex I’ve seen, not that I am some sort of connoisseur or anything. But this pretty much continues to steam up the page while it is simultaneously on fire, somehow, if females getting it on is your jam.
It doesn’t hurt that the opening bits involve Asumi and her roomie, Nanao, who got her own taste of the brothel life last time and has always been very interested in Asumi in a romantic way. Which in this story means hot sex.
There’s no way to coat this one, since it’s almost more ribald than previous volumes, but the two of them go at it for literally 100 pages of this volume. This might be the point where we officially reached sex overload with the story, although given most stories would shove Nanao to one side and crush her dreams of being with Asumi, this is sure the opposite of that.
Not to mention that Nanao really takes a turn once their first encounter is done, threatening Asumi with nothing but a good time for the rest of her life. The story takes a slight turn of its own towards flat-out nymphomania at this point, but if you don’t know what you’ve signed up for by now…
Yet, hilariously, Nanao just wants to stay friends. With certain benefits, which is not without its own potential complications. So when Asumi remembers what the erstwhile plot of the manga actually is and heads back to the brothels, well, Nanao’s behind her 100% (not like that). The two of them are a really great pairing so I was not unhappy at seeing them actually hook up, whether it continues or no.
Asumi’s brothel date this time is into handcuff play and it was kind of a given that we’d hit this kink eventually. Unlike most godawful representations (I’m still salty about how badly it was portrayed in Rainbow Days and I’m not even into BDSM), this one touched on really basic topics that even regular folk have heard of, like consent and safewords. The mangaka does a fantastic job being sex-positive and I always appreciate that.
That means Asumi can just lie back and enjoy it, as it were, and once again the pages quietly smoulder as things progress. This is one of the best chapters of the series, in terms of sheer heat. It’s always fun seeing Asumi getting opened up to new ideas and that’s been as much a part of the series as its overall plot. In addition to being horny, it makes sure Asumi’s having fun, which she should be!
This is pretty much all smut this volume and it would be ridiculous to pretend otherwise. If you want to see manga lesbian sex, here you go. I think it’s as well done as can be, by which I mean really well done, and it respects its lead enough to not abuse her and show her having a good time. It’s absolutely achieving its goals.
4 stars - while my desire (!?) to see Asumi and Nanao get together might have been close to a monkey’s paw moment, the follow-up encounter is both very different and next level. This is doing exactly what it wants to do and it does it pretty dang well. A solid, sexy time.
Damn very sexual volume. Lots of sex scenes and the relationship between Asumi and Nanao gets deeper. We don’t really see any progress finding Mai. Still all in the nice cozy style we are used to in this series.
This volume was pretty interesting. I was surprised that Nanao and Asumi ended up in a fwb situation and I’m excited to see how their relationship evolves in the next volumes.

A ver, no es lo mejor que he leído en mi vida... Pero promete que hay gente que folla y follan así que supongo que nadie me ha mentido. La prostitución pues regular, pero bueno, ha habido un despliegue de técnica bucal y manística que ha sido una cosa loca. Me lo seguiré leyendo, ahora necesito saber si se encuentra con la amiga o no y se se folla a la amiga o no, porque claro, yo ya estoy invested, ahora no me pueden para. Me los he leído porque mi pareja ha mandado un meme y me ha dado curiosidad pero no lo recomiendo, la verdad. Osea, si queréis leer a chavalas follando sí, adelante. Por lo demás, no.
This has one of the better introductions to BDSM I've seen in a mainstream work, and the art continues to be hot and authentic. I'm really liking this series!
