Yeah, anatomy isn't Yoshikawa's strong suit. It isn't quite that bad in the rest of the book. Laughing

Quoth the reviewer: "Don't let the boobs on the cover turn you off – "
That could never happen.
This seems like a book that I should try. The mention of "tragic results" puts me off a bit, but I will still check it out.
Thank you for a thorough, balanced, and informative review.

I am not seeing two knees, but her shin does seem to be a bit too long.

Why shouldn't I let the boobs on the cover turn me off? It's the first thing shown to me.

Because if that alone is enough to turn you off from engaging with a series rather than things like the actual writing or art therein then you have rather high standards.

Actually, as I was reading it, I thought it would make a good anime. Smile It wouldn't even need too much censorship since there are no nipples or bare butts, just lots of thighs and boobs.

lol I just realized I had that OVA in my bookmarks to watch since last year. I was wondering why the title of the OVA looked familiar.

I saw the cover, and I let out a big "nope".
Even if it's worth it and all, I just... Can't. With a cover like that, no.
