Elite architect Motoharu Maki and 20-year-old construction worker Kouta Ohki are living the good life. There’s only one small hitch—Motoharu’s already impressive libido is only growing stronger! When Kouta leaves for a work-sponsored retreat, of course Motoharu sneaks along for some sexy time…in the public baths…at the group dinner party… This guy just doesn’t quit! Kouta, on the other hand, is patiently waiting for Motoharu to stop screwing around and get serious. But is passionate love even in the plans for this architect, or is it high time Kouta sent him back to the drawing board?
This volume was nothing like the previous 4. In those volumes the mangaka was telling a story (or at least provided some sense of direction) and each act was part of that story, moving the overall bigger story... or maybe I should say the series itself...to this beautiful conclusion at the end of volume 4.
Volume 5 was different. It started off with acts 13 and 14 which gave us glimpses into what everyday life was like, post amnesia (Motoharu was back to his weird pervy self 😆). After that, we get a bunch of random short stories, side stories, and dirty pictures that don't necessarily fit into any overall story but were fun to read and look at. There was one side story involving a gay ghost that I especially liked.
What was annoying was that all the sex scenes were censored for some reason. Why? Why have things whited out when it's obvious what's being whited out? It's very distracting and there at least two instances in which I genuinely didn't understand what was going on in the picture. And, let me just say, there was a lot of f*cking going on in this volume... more so than in previous volumes... so why pick this one to censor?
The last two acts (acts 15 and 16) moved the overall story to the next arc which continues into the next volume. I really liked these acts because I was very interested in Motoharu's past. I wanted to know what he was like before he became who he is now. At the end of act 16 Mibu returns so I can't wait to see what happens next.
It's still steamy and hot. The pornographic scenes truly delivered, but I felt that the plot wasn't as entertaining as previous volumes. Plus, I am not a fan of where this indicates the next volume will go. I am not looking forward to volume six. There's not much going on story-wise, and I don't see the need for this to have continued further...
The art is getting more modern for sure. There is very little plot movement that happens as there is a lot of side stories. The final two stories are really building trauma of his past.
