Extract

Slugline: Meh. Can porn be boring?

An anthology of unrelated stories that span the many genres of the manga pornography, with the only major exception being there is no hermaphrodites lurking about. None of the stories are too offensive but neither are they particularly memorable. I suspect that in this case the shortness of the stores worked against the creator, for in most stories the characters are fixed in the mind with very little space given to create them. If there had been more pages devoted to some of the stories the characters could have emerged as more than just placeholders. The art was okay, a little busy, but no one appeared to be triple-jointed or had geysers of gallons of bodily fluids. It is a very workmanlike volume, not so bad I got offended for the characters but neither anything to look for or forward to.
