reception
Jason Thompson describes the manga as a Yaoi version of Chobits or Dolls and gives an age recommendation from 16 years. Visually, it is ordinary and not very attractive in a negative sense. But the tragic, bittersweet stories are emotionally moving. The weak one of the three is the middle one, with its uncomfortable pedophile innuendos . The stories are imprecise in terms of time and location, the first two vaguely modern, but interesting to read despite everything.
