Del Rey's oversize printing for Mature titles (this one shows some frontal nudity) happens to be a good strategy for enjoying the cheesecake art; 8.25 inches x 5.5 inches adds that extra level of turn-on when it comes to panty and swimsuit drawings. Even a lackluster series like this one gets the quality treatment, with clear, straightforward dialogue, and a glossary of cultural notes that explains Japan's unique customs for celebrating Western holidays. Sound effects are left in the original Japanese, with small, plain-font translations next to them, and the print quality is sharp throughout.
