I found the title to be so apt regarding the situations that Sanada and Yumio are in. They are both slaves to the people around them and their expectations. They are both chained to their feelings and get tangled in the traps those feelings set for them. Both Sanada and Yumio are searching for control and they mostly achieve it through sex. So the sex scenes tend to be pretty hot but at the same time, as another commenter mentioned, the sex is often a weapon or tool to control the other party. It's an outlet for their anger and their confusion as much as for their sexual urges.
It makes the manga sort of melancholy in a way (which is good, because otherwise it would be sort of "eh") and I ended up just feeling sorry that Sanada and Yumio are so emotionally screwed.
I don't like the view of sex this mangaka is -so far- consistently showing in her works. Her characters use sex as a tool, which makes the relationships seem not as serious to me and ultimately lose my interest in the story.
She does present fairly unusual uke. They are strong, opinionated and tend to be 'top-bottoms': very pushy! ^_^
The art is well executed, but not my preference. There is nothing that really sparkles or is presenting from an angle that inspires more than a passing glance.
