Yeah, anatomy isn't Yoshikawa's strong suit. It isn't quite that bad in the rest of the book. Laughing

Quoth the reviewer: "Don't let the boobs on the cover turn you off – "
That could never happen.
This seems like a book that I should try. The mention of "tragic results" puts me off a bit, but I will still check it out.
Thank you for a thorough, balanced, and informative review.

I am not seeing two knees, but her shin does seem to be a bit too long.

Why shouldn't I let the boobs on the cover turn me off? It's the first thing shown to me.

Because if that alone is enough to turn you off from engaging with a series rather than things like the actual writing or art therein then you have rather high standards.

Fanservice is never shoehorned in. It is all according to keikaku. Wink

Actually, as I was reading it, I thought it would make a good anime. Smile It wouldn't even need too much censorship since there are no nipples or bare butts, just lots of thighs and boobs.

lol I just realized I had that OVA in my bookmarks to watch since last year. I was wondering why the title of the OVA looked familiar.

I saw the cover, and I let out a big "nope".
Even if it's worth it and all, I just... Can't. With a cover like that, no.
