One thing I did NOT like was the adult'ation" of Triela in a couple of chapters. It was extremely disburbing, even though nothing disturbing happened.
The exploitation of the girls really came across in this set. The story is no longer confined to prepubescent girls who have crushes on their handlers." ( )
