13 and 14? Times were so different back in the '90s.

4/5
Trés bien!

I don't usually read slice-of-life dramas, so to say, this is one of the best slice-of-life dramas I've ever read, probably doesn't set a very high bar.
That said, I do enjoy slice-of-life romances - of which, I've read plenty - and where the relationships in this are paradoxically both too flippant yet too complicated to call this a romance, it's an odd mix of the two that works superbly.
Some of you may see an Erotica tag and be turned off but, although the adults do have sex, it's a far cry from being hentai! The bedroom scenes aren't there for arousal, but for genuine character development, as it's between the sheets (not that they ever seem to use any, mind), that the true, primal feelings of the three leads are expressed.

You may think that this is some tawdry sex-drama about a dude living with two chicks and you'd be wrong! This is about a directionless man who allows two wild, very different women to basically take over his life, and the events that follow.

Definitely recommended (and the French is a reference you'll only understand upon completion).

Sigh. And nobody saw that one coming...

Oh, man...https://i.postimg.cc/SRVH1MWN/i.jpg

Damn, Ichi... um, light haired chick, why say to your parents you're going to marry ML when you flat turned him down to his face?

This drama is all the woman's own doing.

That's fucked up.

Yōko really is best girl. I'm so glad this didn't descend into threesome bullshit (like the song, No I in Threesome).

A writer's gotta write.

Nice way to end the chapter... but, of course, everyone wonders which girl the dad said.

Which one?

I can't blame Yōko there: they invite her to live back with them, but then they want to do private whit while she's in the next room, able to hear everything!

Some readers will argue she's being inconsiderate, but making her listen to them means they're the ones being inconsiderate to begin with.

The boss is the dude!It's always sad that some women can only feel loved when treated like shit, but he has her pegged. Dark haired chick all the way!
Which is a pity, because light haired chick is so adorable.

Finally, her side of events. That was worth the wait too.

Drink, drank, drunk.
Drink up.
I drank it all.
I have drunk it all.

The translations of this have been superb, but proper grammar is swiftly becoming a lost art-form (and this is an oldie).

Poor dude, a woman on each arm and still getting blue balls! Oh, the punishment!

The fu...? This CEO's a dude!How come pretty much every boss I've ever had has been an arse hole?

WTF? It's her place!

And that uncensored pubic mound cover shot surprised me.

WTF? Dark haired girl's messed up!
So she encourages light haired chick to have sex with ML... and then she interrupts and becomes a bona fide cock-block?!I think she's starting to be confused, herself, as to what she wants from her relationship with ML.


P.S. I really hate the u added to an o to show the change of sound; years ago, it was always a o with a solid, flat accent line ( so her name should be: Yōko).

And this is why women are terrible communicators... but always blame everything on the dude misunderstanding!
So light haired chick, insecure in herself and suspecting the dude either likes darker haired chick or used to, just casually throws that out there for a reaction.

Dark haired chick, comfortable in her situation, curious if she could go on like this longer, considers out loud trying again with the dude.

While the poor dude, who likes the light haired chick but is still, deep down, trying to get over dark haired chick, is frustrated that light haired chick seems to dismiss their relationship as a mere fling, while having the seed planted that he doesn't actually have to get over dark haired chick, because there may be another chance!
But does he like light haired chick too much to risk going back to dark haired chick?


Sigh. Women. But at least they're not impossible to understand (just very, very difficult).
