Customer Rating:      Summary: This manga is great Comment: Though the previous reviewer might be partially right (there are indeed some typos, and editing overall might have been better), but all that didn't distract me from the story at all, and I enjoyed this manga quite a lot. I also think that overall, all stories in this collection were clear and easy-to-follow - and I definitely disagree that "half the text is chopped off on the edges of the paper.." (I'm citing from a previous review) - this is simply not true. Yes, it happened in a few cases, but it didn't prevent me from understanding the text and the story. Overall, the quality of editing is pretty typical for June editions, but the story itself is one level up their average, and very original. It's also more explicit than average June production. Certain parts reminded me of Ashika Sakura's "Sensitive Pornograph" (though a bit less explicit), especially Ashika's "Trophies Belong in the Bedroom" story. (Yes, some very mild BDSM-play is implied in a number of stories in this collection). So, if you like Ashika Sakura's works, be sure to check this one out as well.
I almost hadn't bought this story due to such a bad previous review, and I'm very glad that I did. Definitely, this is a worthy addition to my manga collection.
Customer Rating:      Summary: June, you fail me yet again!! Comment: Dear June Publishing,
I don't know what happened to you. You used to publish such great works of art. You did spell check. You made sure printing was up to standards. You tried your best.
Now, you come out with crap--the same thing, all the time, regardless of art, story, or effort. Speaking of effort, this copy I hold in my hands not only has typos, missing words, and extra words that don't need to be there--but half the text is chopped off on the edges of the paper! A few instances, I couldn't even understand what the speech bubble was trying to say, because of the poor print job.
This manga itself was cute. I liked the characters, but honestly... try a bit better. June, you really have ended up a on the bottom of my trusted publishers list. Which is sad, since you used to be at the top.
