[Keito Takahashi · Rating 4 out of 5]

あまりに生々しすぎる恋に、セックスにまみれた女性たちの物語。または彼女らの日常の一部。

[Blake · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun to read and drags you into a few sordid lives that are actually quite captivating. Having said that, it would have been nice to see a female character who isn't completely enthralled and at the whim of her male counterpart. I felt like my mind was going in directions other than where the author was expecting, but I guess that's the fun in open-ended and sparse on details short stories. (Didn't like the last story though. Really flat note to end on.)
