Side notes: This manga is not a kids manga so if you're not okay with nudity and some sex scenes do not read it. I think this is the first manga that clearly takes aspect of mature context to this level to actually show sex in graphic format and it's not much hiding anything while at it. Still although it's almost in the start of the story it's not the main issue for the series as the normal living is. If it'd be like the only thing going on this series wouldn't really belong to this blog (I keep hentai mostly away from here). The art is naturalistic and sketchy but on a good level. Also the story flows naturally onwards so it's easy to accept what's going on. As I've not read it all I can't say how the end goes. Still as it is now it's a good manga to read.
