You could see this coming from the way Aki reacted to the date and anyway she's the character with the most screentime besides the mains so something like this was bound to happen.

But I get it must be very difficult to make this particular relationship veer toward eroticism in a way that won't make the readers (too much) disturbed.

TBH given the very premise of the story anyone inclined to feel queasy about the prospect of hot daughter-on-mom action should have headed for the door already by the end of the third chapter at the latest.

Quoted for truth because the first poster is obviously one of those who missed their exit point. I especially like that "too much" part, implying that average readers of this clearly tagged, multi-chapters story about incest will be disturbed by default. I was under the impression people usually read things they are into. I guess there are some who are not into it and are reading it to deliberately make themselves queasy, but I somehow doubt they form any meaningful percentage here.

I guess I'm in that percentage. It is possible for a story to be disturbing and compelling at the same time and that was I was kinda hoping for. This one is missing the compelling part though

This series is really interesting despite its problems. The main draw for me are the characters (the main ones anyway, cat girl and her girlfriend are kinda eh). I think this story does a "the human heart in conflict with itself" pretty well. Uta desperately wants to move on from Kaoru but is stuck because she can't get rid of her own hopeless feelings of love. Kaoru wants to be an adult and have her efforts appreciated by the man she loves yet when the situation calls on her to become a responsible adult and face her problems, she actively blinds herself so that she won't have to deal with it. This constrasts nicely with Uta who is the younger of the two but is more mature. Uta suffers because she understands, Kaoru suffers because she doesn't. The brother (I can't remember his name right now for the life of me) is breath of fresh air for the male element in a het-yuri love triangle. He's a scumbag for cheating ( though I can't remember the story stating explicitly that he did, but it's at least heavily implied), but we can see that he is suffering befause of it meaning there's a lot more to him than that and he is trying, at least. That being said, I agree with many of the criticism many people have already stated regarding the meandering plot, side stories, and pacing of this series. I have a feeling the fact the we read chapter by chapter each month or so has quite an impact on the pacing. I enjoyed it a lot more when I was bingereading several chapters at once (this goes for a lot of manga actually).
