Hm...the art is cute as always, but that lover's thing wasn't enjoyable to me.
Much in agreement with you, this also wasn't enjoyable to me. Well, that's what the "close tab" button is for.
Most of Itou Hachi's best works either feature no lolicon suff at all, or feature very soft stuff like "Master and Me" where the adult discovers that the younger one loves her and chooses to return the feelings, often in an explicitly chaste way like in "The twitter of girls and waking of shyness". Not saying that those are Hachi's best works BECAUSE of that; just pointing out the fact that many of his works happen to be done that way, which skirts around the worse implications of the lolicon tag. So it was a rather sudden surprise, expecting the above but finding instead a tale of "adult actually TELLS a very young girl to be her lover" - which falls straight into said worst implications.
Let's just say that I hope Hachi's future works be more of the former style.
