This is a relatively mild and unheavy early work from Hideo Yamamoto, an author renowned for challenging limits. In terms of narrative and artistic quality, everything is just average.
The tale revolves around a formerly content individual whose secure world of trust and love is disrupted by a voyeur — a man who observes couples in an attempt to comprehend them. The two form an unlikely partnership and eventually team up to establish themselves as "professional" voyeurs.
A villain and a damsel in distress emerge in the latter part of the volume, with events unfolding in a rather predictable manner.
Although the characters do not reappear, the concept of Voyeurs Inc. continues in a subsequent series where Yamamoto starts to inject more intrigue. Both his artwork and storytelling become more refined.
Devoting an hour to the standalone Voyeurs volume serves as a solid introduction to the follow-up series and is worthwhile for those interested in tracking Yamamoto's development.
