This is a sci fi series about explorers rediscovering a lost continent long after a nuclear apocalypse. I found the Japanese a bit hard to follow since it's full of terms for things like hermaphrodites. The grammar and other aspects weren't difficult though, so a student could definitely get through this with either a dictionary or a better knowledge of sf/f jargon than I had.

As you can probably guess from the cover art, the fact that this was in Wings Comics, and the presence of hermaphrodites, this is one of those fanfic-tastic series with mpreg and bizarro gender/sex stuff all over the place. If that sounds like your cup of tea, I highly recommend it.

I did, however, have some reservations about the way the female characters are portrayed. As is often the case in series like this, the main male character is so girly looking and ditzy acting that it's hard to tell he's supposed to be male. This combined with how useless or unidimensional the female characters are gave me the strong feeling that the reader was supposed to be one of those girls who reads m/m romance because she's too jealous and insecure to read about interesting women.

On the other hand, some of the side characters look like they may get fleshed out later, and there are some interesting inversions of expected gender roles with the extremely girly main character and the butch security chief. ( )
