This is interesting. The title character discovers that his sister’s novels about him have been pirated into a version starring a hero of Central American origin. The young woman is a fan of the serials and points out that in all of the stories, there’s a bit with a naked woman. And here, we get a bit with a naked woman. There is one other panel of breasts and a whole lot of cheesecake, but this is the only part of the story that depicts explicit sexual activity. It’s an unlooked for meta moment in the final episode of the series.

One thing to note is the lighting. The interiors are all yellow orange and the exteriors have a more washed out tone. It is very easy to tell where the scenes take place just by looking at the panel.
