There's a great deal of sex (and even more naked/boob shots) in this one, and implications of child sexual abuse by a parent. The tone shifts rapidly, from very lighthearted in the first half to very dark and gory in the second.
My main takeaway from this is mostly that I know *that* I watched the TV show this is loosely based on, and I know *that* I read these volumes when I bought them, but I really remember nothing about either version except a couple of catchphrases. The back half, especially, is just the kind of edgy I was extremely into a decade ago and change. Despite my lack of memory about it, and despite a few things that made my nose wrinkle, it's still bringing up that nostalgia feeling for me, which is fun. But, it's still a story of its time period and not something I'd necessarily recommend, based on this volume alone, to someone not already familiar with it.
