Story: 9/10
This is essentially a compilation of three distinct stories, two revolving around ninjas and one centered on something entirely different. Each story has its charming elements, making the reading experience exceptionally enjoyable. The layout is neat and tidy, the language exquisite, and the overarching themes are excellent. However, one story bears a resemblance to "Uwasa no Futari," which was slightly off-putting but still fun. This similarity prevented a perfect score. Despite this, the focus isn't purely on sexual aspects; while there's plenty of that, it also beautifully portrays the love between characters, even if only briefly.
Art: 10/10
Temari Matsumoto is a stunning mangaka! Her art style might be somewhat angular but exudes elegance. The softness in her lines gives every part, even the chibi or cutesy elements, an extraordinary amount of detail. The action scenes, both sexual and non-sexual, are impressive. Her alluring art style drew me in, and the work is undeniably beautiful!
Character(s): 8/10
I had to give this an imperfect score due to noticeable similarities in character personalities with those in "Bokura no Unsei" and "Uwasa no Futari." Although they didn’t look alike, their traits were too similar, which was disappointing. Two characters stood out as unique, though still bearing some similarities. They had beautiful personalities and were easy to connect with, making the reading smooth.
Enjoyment: 10/10
Despite its flaws mentioned above and its short length (which makes me sad), I thoroughly enjoyed this manga. Temari’s writing is alluring, conveying feelings not just through words but through body language. She has a unique talent for immersing you in the story, making you giggle, laugh, and sometimes even startle you. Her ability to bring out both the good and bad while still making you smile is remarkable.
Overall: 9.25/10
My overall rating reflects an average, which makes me a bit sad since it wasn’t perfect. However, she remained true to herself and her style. She gave me a good chuckle and warmed my heart, making this manga truly worthy of praise.
