The story revolves Terumi Minamoto, a girly looking boy who suffered bullying and determined to change, until university life began and took a huge twist. He meets his aunt Kaoruko Fujiwara, a professor at Shiun University specializing in the Tale of Genji, Japan's prime novel of the Heian Period.

Kaoruko plans to use Terumi as a guinea pig for the research. Fourteen women of differing calibers enter the door, and Terumi has to win their hearts, in differing, erotic, and often challenging ways. This also challenges his fear of women.

This manga's story can be summarized as "The Tale of Genji, in symbolism and execution: erotic." The art direction of the manga is sublime and worth looking, the erotic scenes create the impression of sometimes traditional and contemporary intercourse. As a result, it reinforces the motif, the Genji of the Heian modernized.

(SPOILERS)

Characters were crafted accordingly, oftentimes accurate to the original material (e.g. Rokujou's obsession, Shian's (Lady Murasaki) fledgling knowledge, Minamoto (disowned from the beginning of the tale), and Kaoruko herself (Fujitsubo, the mother that Genji never had).

However, as the story progressed, the end suddenly drew close after Akashi (fortune teller), creating an immediate rush which downgraded the story. Immediately jumping to Kaoruko, the last challenge without some fillers or proper evaluation of Terumi by himself, of some sort. The ending is left to be desired, which ruins the overall vibe of the story.

On the bright side, those who are interested in the traditional Japanese literature can find relatable stuff in this manga (even though it's not for educational purposes).
