The art is amazing and even beautiful in many spots, and I didn't see any glaring mistakes. I love that you get to see the reactions of all three characters, and they're all very expressive. Even their designs and the way they talk to each other is just so cute! The relationship and dynamics between the three of them is sweet and they are all completely into it. The girls are consistently more assertive and confident than Mayumura, and it's all really nice light femdom. It doesn't follow that dynamic exclusively, but it is a big focus. It incorporates a lot more flirty language and ... foreplay than I usually see, so this is great read if you appreciate the subtle stuff. If you like the combo of animalistic safe sex, then you'll love this book because there's a lot of that too.

There's also nothing extreme here. It's really just a whole lot of vanilla that exclusively takes place in a library with a focus on a three way relationship. It sticks very closely to that, but it never gets stale or repetitive. This is a shining example of how to write vanilla with variety and depth. You don't see very many interactions outside of a sexual context, but they aren't totally absent. The slow-burn progression still somehow makes them feel like full-fledged characters, despite the narrow focus on sex. There is even some light "character progression" by the end when they start acting or speaking differently than usual.

Overall, it perfectly balances wholesome characters who get more comfortable with each other and become more addicted to what they're doing together. The scenes and scenarios here are realistic enough to be believable while also being exaggerated enough to still be exciting and engaging. Unlike most of the adult tankoubon prints I've seen, this isn't an anthology. It slowly builds up the intensity of a single story across 300 pages, and it utilizes that length very well. Literally the only criticism I have is that the back cover spoils some panels that occur late in the book, but you can just avoid looking if that also matters to you.
