Side notes: This manga isn't licensed according to Baka updates but still it can be a bit tricky to find. And I's wondering the reason for it... but if reading between lines the manga has themes that can be seen in some light a bit risky (like relationship between an adult man and a high school girl). The stories don't implicate anything strongly sexual innuendo about those relationships but that's a possibility - though the main line is that they stay pure and untouched little peeks in different kinds of parts of human life and how they can change without anything bad happening (except probably the last story). And art is on a great level.^-^
P.S. The age rating isn't solid. I's wondering should it be lower like R15 but then I thought again about the underlying things in these stories and left the age tag as R17 'cause I feel that people in that age can already understand things better than younger people... but as I said it's not a solid and younger reader can also enjoy the stories as they are.
