Anyone know where I could get them? Anyone have it and have warnings? If it helps, I'm 19.

I've never read the manga, but w/r/t the anime version, my anime encyclopedia gives it a nudity warning, for what it's worth. Highlights from that blurb:

"Five Star Stories (1989). ... The Joker Cluster consists of five star systems in close proximity, where human pilots (headliners) are bonded with sentient androids (fatimas) to control giant robots (mortar heads). ... Most pilots have to make do with 'etrimls' [sic], low-grade subhuman versions, so the beautiful fatimas are highly prized ... Condensed from just one segment of Mamoru Nagano's sprawling 1986 manga that's still occasionally serialzed in Newtype, FSS duplicates the original's baroque feel, as well as its near impenetrability."

Your mileage may vary, as always. It doesn't say in what context the nudity occurs.
