Like Volume 1, the Manga Sutra is more of a manual than a story. Aki has worked to make his characters involving but it's difficult to see it as a narrative when fun facts are interspersed throughout the story.
I found this one interesting because I felt it gave a peek into the Japanese culture. The love hotels are a foreign concept to me and the idea that hormonal birth control wasn't available until 1999 was a bit of an eye opener.
The way some of the fantasies were introduced made it a fun read so I'll give it a 3.

Manga Sutra Volume 1
The Manga Sutra Volume 1 by Katsu Aki advertises itself as a sex manual. And it is. Makoto and Yura are clueless when it comes to relationships and as a newly married couple has to start from square one. It's amusing and informative at the same time. Although Makoto's brother is a jerk. I'll give it a 3.
