This is a pretty tame and lightweight early volume from Hideo Yamamoto, a writer known for pushing boundaries. In terms of story and art quality, everything is just ok.

A once happy enough fella has his safety zone of trust and love polluted by a voyeur - another guy who watches lovers and tries to understand them. The pair become unlikely allies and, eventually go into business together as "professional" voyeurs.

There is a villain and a damsel in distress in the second half of the volume and everything flows along fairly predictably.

Though the characters don't continue, the business of Voyeurs Inc carries on in a new series where Yamamoto begins to spice things up a little and both his art and his storytelling are more mature.

Spending an hour with the single-volume Voyeurs is a good introduction to the later series and worthwhile if you want to follow Yamamoto's evolution.
