Imperfect Marble

A collection of romance stories focused on young girls and their relationships. Some of the stories are sweet and wholesome, while others are bitter and somewhat tragic. It's a nice mix up from what you typically find and is a little more story focused than most hentai. Worth adding if you enjoy mostly wholesome and vanilla love stories.

Always a great read with great stories and art.

I wasn't feeling most of the stories. I think less stories and more room to develop them better would of been best. Alluring Yuu, Hime Hajima, and On a Rainy June Night were the best stories in my opinion. The art is fairly good throughout though.

The artstyle easily catch your eyes right? and that wasn't fooled you.

Naked body is great (both gender).

Pubic hair really amazing.

Story is spicy. Girl mostly do bold move and that sexy.

It's genre as vanilla but not that vanilla, I mean you may not find evil villains here but character isn't pure white if you know what I mean.

If you buy this book. You will never regret it.

I can't rate this below 5 stars. It's Key. Key makes hoity toity vanilla.

It's good. Even if it's a bit much on the highbrow emotion at times.

Key art is always great and charm but story is so much variety from super cute Vanilla couple to complicated lovers or in the middle. But the most important is the book worth it!

The story is decent but the art work is in par with detail, depths, and body movements of the characters alone.

Key makes art from beyond this world. That alone is enough.

stories are cute and vanilla.

This is still a great book from artist Key but compare to storyline it a bit lacked compare to the previous TankÅbon

Any Key release is a required purchase, and this doesn't disappoint. Although some of the stories aren't quite as light-hearted, all have the same cute feel that a typical Key stories contains. This also contains the sequel to Lovers from Deep Blue Static.

And so another book from Key, which we haven't seen in quite a while since Deep Blue Static. I found myself enjoying this book a little more for some reason, as their last book I was really only just okay on. I'm not quite sure why; I think maybe the stories were a little quirkier and weirder, which I guess is something that I enjoy more? Or maybe it was even just the color extras in the book pushing it over the top, Key does a lot of cover art for Kairakuten and the book includes a lot of nice full color copies of those, along with some extra bonus full-color art in the back. It's not a huge thing but it's a nice touch that makes the book feel a little more special.

Overall the art and stories are similar to Key's prior work, lots of schoolgirls. As I mentioned I think the stories get a little bit weirder than their prior material, but only a little bit, we're not talking about a big genre shift here. There's a bit of cheating and some heartbreak in some of them, so I wouldn't say the book is straight vanilla. Overall I liked that, it helped avoid some of the repetitiveness and cliche that sometimes happens with plain vanilla works.

The stories are all from Kairakuten, so you can see them elsewhere. You are missing out on most of the little color extras included in the book though.

Imperfect Marble is an amazing piece of work.
The art is beautifu, precise and lovely.
I've been in love with Key's art for a while now and finally decided to order the books.
Kind of sad that Houkago Vanilla isn't available ;-;

Key is highkey wholesome!

"On a Rainy June Night" is the crown jewel. Vulnerable, wholesome, clumsy, sexy as hell. Very nice.

The art and everything was good but it felt like it was missing something.

coupled with hot sex and drama totals a big win. I like the balance between vanilla and darkness and also the emphasis on consequence which a lot of hentai lacks.

The chapters were great and the story lines were pretty good. So happy I made the purchase

Wonderful artwork and engaging characters. Funny when it needs to be and it pulled on my heart strings several times. Definitely one of the best vanilla purchases I've made.

Solid artist, cute characters, decent read.

Every time I read a story by Key I'm always reminded of Inio Asano. The black and whites seem to show more than colours ever could.
This is an instant purchase for anyone who is a fan of hentai manga

What a great title. A glorious mix of beautiful art and engaging storylines that leave you yearning for more (and sometimes hoping for a different outcome). Highly recommend this!

The stories are intimate with the perfect amount of tension. Highly recommend.

Key's books tend to get released rather quickly around here after Japanese release. And, well, I'd complain there are others I want to see... but damn it, Key's name is practically a quality seal.

A nice mixture of sweet vanilla and the sad parts of slice of life. A definite read.

This one's for the vanilla fans who aren't into the hardcore tags. Realistically portioned characters as well.

I have bought (and loved) all of keys work and this one will be no different.

Key is one of the few artists that is a "no consideration needed" buy. The stories usually have a nice bit of tension, enjoyable characters, and very skillfully crafted scenes of intimacy.

I'm happy this book is finally released! Key's stories are just fantastic.

Key is easily one of my favorite ero manga authors. I love their art and their stories are very engaging, and the ones collected in this book are fantastic. It's also great to have the sequel chapter to the "LOVERS" story in this book, which is titled "Turn." Key's girls are sexy and Key does a magnificent job in conveying lust in their stories.

Key is one of the best artists in the hentai game today and Imperfect Marble is another amazing collection of their works. Their character designs and stories just get better with each new release and this is a must have in any library.
