   	I now have recieved volume 3, these are HS students remember   
   which will cause some agitation on the part of those who deny sexual   
   agency to people under a certain age or in a unwed condition.  	   
   	So in volume 3 it ends in physical bliss but mainly   
   with total alleviation of the psychological doubts and   
   hesitations that make the story so interesting,   
   	I felt quite let down at the end of the story.   
   	I will say that Milk sensei did not use any of the   
   spurting fluids or glistening with secretions genitalia   
   found too often in porn.   
   	At the same time I really doubt that I will find this   
   as interesting as Genshiken, Whispered Words(Sasameki Koto) or   
     Yawara which provoke endless re-reading of the manga or   
   re-watching of the anime.  Even the Showa History of Japan seems   
   eminently more re-readable.  So is the Wandering Son (Hourou Musuko)   
   series.   
   	I regret to a degree spending the approximately $30.00   
   on this story in a way that I do not regret buying some other   
   series at higher prices.
