if i hadn't come from reading some nekota yonezou, i might have found the art here not too bad (though never "splendid"), but compared to nekota's work it is badly lacking in competence. tetsu is not attractive to me at all, there isn't exactly a wealth of expressions, the proportions are off more often than not when enomoto draws a full body, and profiles with a lot of neck showing also don't work -- heads are too small. the profusion of screentone flowers can't make up for that.
story-wise there isn't much meat here either. the first story is the only one worth reading IMO; there is a bit of a plot (more than many oneshots get), and the humour is nice. sakura really is cute in his earnestness to reach his goal, and while i would have preferred that he do, i expected he wouldn't, so that wasn't a big disappointment. i didn't find him particularly girly; he's just smaller and lighter than tetsu. in fact i thought he was rather boyish, especially when he got to beat somebody up.
the second story is shota. i like very little shota, and this falls squarely into a category i don't. i can't stand it when a small child is made out to be purposely seductive so the adult "can't" resist; that's too damn close to what real predators imagine in real life, and it destroys any fantasy aspect that makes a few shota stories ok. and since penetrative sex with children is a turn-off (OUCH), there's nothing here that works for me.
i've already forgotten the third story... oh, the inn manager. what was the point there? i am not sure whether i just didn't understand it, or whether there really was none.
overall, average at best, only worth it if your pile of good BL has dwindled to nothing.
