This compilation of short stories about the same characters displays the same deft handling of emotions and situations as NITTA's better known "He Hagged Hooker". There are no weepy, abused, unwilling rent boys here, they are all confident, competent, master manipulators of their customers and top in their field.

NITTA's character designs are beautiful, neither willowy and thin like OZAKI's nor muscular and beefy like KODAKA's, they take a nearly believable middle road.
