It's fluffy for this mangaka. Normally a Hirao Auri character has the pain and ennui drawn out for so many centuries of subjective time that when they kill themselves quietly it's not a cry for help, and everyone that knows them doesn't go "oh, my God!" but rather, "Finally!" and then they go back to researching their own escape. I picture a world where that's the only pleasant activity legally allowed. In their world the chromosome that makes lesbians attracted to you has a side effect of brain damage, though, so that's par for the course here.
In all seriousness, she's a good artist, good at setting up plots, good at creating characters, but beyond that, I've always wished she'd let someone else do the plotting, and perhaps the writing. Even things that were obviously dragged out as long as possible like Citrus or Stretch really don't compare to her "masterwork."
.. maybe… but in all fairness I really like her "masterwork" a LOT and blindly hate Citrus :P
