"I just know that tonight again, my brother will be calling me from outside the window.


Help."

First off - the elephant in the room: there's sex. Lots of it. But I don't get how poeple are surprised by this if the whole story is about a "no strings attached" (read: sexual) relationship, it's even in the synopsis. But it isn't an ecchi/hentai type of sex, in my opinion the sex scenes are there to show the sexual relationship the story is about, as - you know - showing a s e x u a l relationship without s e x would be hard. Though some of the sex scenes may be hard to swallow (if you get what I mean *cough cough*chapter 14*cough cough*), so this may not be a suitable read for the faint of heart. But enough about that.
What a terrific manga.

Story: 9
The manga is about two teenagers, who both went through their own shit, and decided to form a "no strings attached" relationship to just feel better. Author tackles topics quite rare in this type of media, such as unhealthy relationships, suicidal thoughts, and more quite standard real-pessimistic Inio Asano specials. Though I don't quite know how to feel about the ending, but the rest more than makes up for it. A great and unconventional love story.

Art: 9
Love him or hate him, Asano's cityscapes are absolutely stunning. Some people say the way he draws eyes makes them uncomfortable, but personally I'd rather look at his sometimes uncanny, closer-to-human-proportions style, than another generic-looking manga with "the Clannad complex". lol

Characters: 8
I actually think the author did a pretty good job writing teenage characters (in a bit of a pessimistic way of course): depressed, stupid, sex-obsessed, often egoistic. Thanks to the time skips, we can see them slowly growing up and learning new things about themselves.

Enjoyment: 9
I loved it. One of the few pieces of media which _almost_ brought me to tears. (But that's kinda unfair to say, 'cause there's only on piece of media as of writing this which made me cry actual tears :P)

Overall: 9

TL;DR: Cool, you should read it as long as you don't mind sex scenes and you aren't really, really easily disturbed.
