It has sex scenes and partial nudity (breasts, nipples).

Yep, but not in a fanservice kind of way, so it's pretty tame compared to what you see in other manga with the 16+ rating.

Oh totally, it's very tasteful. Ratings don't make a difference between smut and art though Wink

So what is the difference between the purple volumes and the white ones? Because I keep seeing the purple ones and I want to know if should grab them or not.

Purple ones are first edition, white ones are the second (newest) edition. I understand the white ones have some editing improvements like typos fixed etc but I haven't actually compared them myself.

Also don't forget that different companies have different ratings as well for their series.

Also, although I'm not entirely sure, I think the first editions (purple volumes) had flipped art. Whereas the new editions are printed Japanese style. Correct me if I'm wrong on this, though, as I'm not 100 percent sure.

Nope. I have 4 whites and 1 purple, and the purple is Japanese style, unflipped. I wouldn't've bought it otherwise. I would've liked my fifth volume to match, but it was delayed for the longest time, and I gave up.

Ah, thank you for clarifying. I'm sorry for my false information. -.-;;

the purple editions have a different logo and original cover art, white has new logo and cover art, and errors fixed up.
