Yeah, some of it can be a little hard to stomach, and I don't recommend to everyone (how young she is would be a big factor, but after it became apparent that she isn't entirely 'human', it didn't bother me quite as much). Lately it's been more than a bit hard to follow, although that may be more due to poor translation than anything else. I love the art though; I liked Tamaoki Benkyo's art ever since I saw his erotic short story in Secret Comics Japan. There a hard, 'dry', in-your-face quality to his linework, and his characters are a bit more realistic without being photorealistic (which I find pointless; I'm not a big Ryoichi Ikegami fan, for instance, although I admire his skill). I also love how expressive his faces are without resorting to overexaggeration. Actually, a lot of these quality could also be said about Naoki Yamamoto's art, and I'm a big fan of him, too.
