Hi
I did a GIS on this one a while back, and despite the information about the plot, all that really turned up was a lot of really fanservicey cover arts. I'm going to tentatively say "keep/clean" pending input from someone more familiar with the work.

I think Dr Psyche said when he skimmed it that it was actually mostly normal fanservice. As in their wasn't any sex.
So I think just clean and keep.

This seems like keep and clean material based on what has been said so far.

Essentially it's a manga about the Japanese adult entertainment industry. The main protagonist, Misora, is a female model who wants to stick to gravure (erotic non-nude photography) but whose agency is actively trying to get her to "graduate" (for lack of a better term) to AV (hardcore porn), up to and including a couple incidents where they basically set her up to be raped on camera: the first time around, they bet her she couldn't defeat 100 men in MMA bouts (she was a karate star in high school), her virginity against them letting her sing on camera if she won (she came to Tokyo to become a professional singer but it turns out she can't carry a tune in a bucket). She also rubs shoulders with active porn stars: one of the recurrers, Sara, is a physics undergrad who performs in extreme porn to pay the bills. (Another thing worth mentioning there: all the characters are clearly legal adults.)
There's also a sequence where Misora gets hired out to a Fiction 500 party to be a hostess (she manages to avoid having to take her clothes off).
So, it has roughly the amount of sex and nudity you'd expect from a manga that is literally about sex workers, but it also doesn't pull punches about the fact that sex work is work, and frequently unpleasant and degrading work at that.

Thanks for the detailed review. A work about sex workers' jobs is an absolute keep.
Hi
In that case, definitely voting keep.

Finalising a firm keep now that someone has actually read it.

Resolving this for "keep" (I don't think we can say "clean" w/o an idea of what to clean). I'll put the records up; locking in the meantime.
