Side notes: Although Baka doesn't mention it the series has been translated by two different groups into English but to get to read them one needs to buy the translated chapters online. Aside those chapters there is also one free version of translation but it's not connected to the actual scans. The first chapter is free to read online and that's I've done. I've not tried to read more yet... but if I have time I may come back for them later (as I got Tokkyuu and Wa ga Na wa Umishi on my table to be read). R17 is mentioned here mainly 'cause there is mild nudity involved and I'm not sure how the story develops later on. Art is okay but it can be said to be "old" school something like in Dragonball and Ranma ½.
