Story: An extremely cute, and surprisingly wholesome series starring a college girl learning about herself and her sexuality, while looking for her childhood friend/crush. While there's some hijinks moments in this volume I wasn't crazy about, overall the series is very tasteful and moderate, and very good about respectful, enthusiastic consent. The sex scenes are very beautifully drawn, with lots of dialogue, and don't feel like they're there just to titillate. The side characters (both the mainstays and the sex workers) are very enjoyable as well, all bringing something unique to the story.

Anyway despite the slightly rough start, this has gone on to become one of my favorite manga series, where I find myself looking forward to every month's chapter. Definitely recommend giving it a try if you're considering it.

Language: this one's kinda quirky. Some of it's very easy, but some of it is very specific slang, euphemism, onomatopoeia, body parts (like おヘソ for navel), etc. I found myself myself looking things up more than I'd expect, even occasionally checking the translation (though I've read it before), and needing to remind myself to be attentive to the grammar. So it it can be kinda tricky... At least for me, it's the sorts thing that doesn't feel hard, but is easy to get a bit wrong.
