Haruwaka [はるわか] (2010-2012) Haruwaka is an erotastic story. The word erotastic that I borrow from the main character, describes how ero it is as well as fantastic. The fantastic point comes from its illustration tho'. Haruwaka tells about the twin sisters who fall in love and date the same guy. Haru and Waka are happily date Ono even if it becomes threesome relationship. Haru is more girly and childish while Waka is collected and mature enough. Ono himself is the ero mangaka who dedicates his life to draw 2D manga and everything about 2D, 'til he dates Haru & Waka. The "dating" itself is the reason why everything gets complicated afterwards. Technically, the twin sisters are "dating" Ono. But, Ono himself views them as his material for eromanga (which actually this-kind-of-just-being-inspiration-for-manga develops into real feelings). The lewd scenes are plenty, but it's not without reason. The character leads to erotic scenes for manga material and it's also funny moments. It's not baseless ecchi-ness. I still admit that the phase or the development of the story sometimes dull or too fast. They are likely to engage in something Ono asks in a sudden even if it's something which is new to them. Of course, it's not without exact cause. They do things because spending time with Ono is their top priority and being chosen as the only one is their goal. The art is really nice. The char design looks so yummy. The boy looks kewl with masculine attribute on his face. Not too much exposed like the female face, but it's enough I think. As for characterization, Waka has straightforward trait which is really I'm into, while Haru is a bit resistant with something she's not agree with, but because of love and challenge she is willing to cross the border. I came up with an idea that the ending will not be too good for me, but yeah it's happened as predicted. If you like an open ending where you can wander everywhere with your mind to decide what kind of ending suits you the best, try this one. Many events involved here as it's real dating and interesting like by the time they go out for summer vacation, the homeroom too, hanabi, cultural festival at school, karaoke dating, and so on. (RATE: 7) [minutiae] Onee-Hikasayama Haruna (1st year), shoulder-length hair and more feminine.

Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou [君は淫らな僕の女王 / You are Dirty, My Queen] (2012-...) Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joo is still unfinished and not continued yet. As the time goes by, Saitou finally can meet Subaru again in the high school after struggling for scholarship. He is definitely can't attend this school only by funding from his parents. As an average man, with no special background family nor superior qualities as a man, he wants to pursue his dream to meet his first love in his childhood in the high school, Kawana Subaru. Opposite to Saitou, Subaru is a freaking beauty and comes from wealthy family. That different aspect from them is not what intrigues our interest, but what comes next that surely is. Saitou, who is treated badly like ignored or viewed as low-life classmate and seems like forgotten by Subaru, then wishes the obverse God, to make Subaru's room and his connected. It happens, the wish comes true anyhow... If you're expecting something like "Saitou tries to convince her ojou-sama to come back to him" or "Saitou tries to do ecchi stuff to her while declaring his love", you should immediately turn that expectation off. Because it's more gripping than just it! Lewdness? Yes, you will get it, so MANY of it. But, it's not worthless story without any kind of development with so many ecchi-ness. It's not fanservice only. Frankly speaking, the "granted wish" by observe God that involved both parties, Subaru and Saitou takes cost. As the main contractor, who is actually Subaru that wishes for it firstly, she has to bear the consequence losing her self-control for one hour. It's like far from expected that granted wish such as it would be exchanged with "self-control". But, that it is. There's a reasoning why "self-control" is at stake rather than "lifespan" which is more reasonable to take as a cost. And...this is where it leads us to lewd scenes. Even if it's going to be NSFW (Smut) almost all of the chapter, but every chapter itself has incredible improving plot that sequence is worth to wait. By that, we know more about the characters, its values, their point of views, feelings, and future desire. It's such a hard decision to believe the fact of offering lewd scenes can improve the understanding of characters and its personalities, that's why I recommend you to read it by yourself. As I said before, this manga's ero stuff is not for "just" fanservice. This reason is my most favorite because, as we all know, so many ecchi genre series, moreover smut, have no plus point than it's ecchiness itself for pleasure. This one is DEFINITELY different, from "who does it", "what kind of the things performed", "how does it possible to happen", even its "resolution". The characterization itself is not found in many other series. Focusing on the main characters, Subaru and Saitou are like flawless example of the real consummate love (look for Sternberg's Love theory lol). In the surface, we know they have commitment for themselves and their feelings. Our understanding grows that it's not just commitment to themselves, it evolves to each other. They also have passion when together, their intimacy moreover. It's not because the lewd activities, but it's more about how "close" and "care" they are for each other feelings. Aside from the aspect of story and characterization that both funny, challenging, intriguing, one of a kind, the illustration is fantastic. Like Haruwaka manga, it has nice character design. It also pays attention into the surrounding of its characters and never make the panels look boring. The illustration can give the vibe of how charming is the character or how complicated their feeling is. It surpasses the physical appearances only. It's not just entertaining with perverted scenes. It takes the perverted fellow to another level about how funny it is to "not" be pervert in times of need as the story develops and characters are growing more commitment with picturesque illustration and "real feeling" (love). I really can't get enough of this and badly need the continuation of it, moreover after the latest chapter updated, Chp 11. It's like the mangaka is trying to give sudden climax for Subaru and Saitou as the end of their journey together. I don't know if the continuation of it will proceed in a long time, but I do hope not. (RATE: 9++ (It worth 10. As a matter of fact, I never give perfect score)) [minutiae] Kawana Subaru. A long-black-haired beauty in the private high school. She was born in a wealthy family. Subaru is a childhood friend of Saitou and often called "boy-girl" by Saitou in the past because of tomboyish style and personality. Akira Saitou. The average high school boy in the same high school as Subaru. He works his ass off to get full scholarship in this high-class high school in order to meet Subaru, his first love. Tajima. Subaru's fiancé. He is a son of shipyard company owner. So rich but middle-aged. | Mangaka & Illustrator: Okamoto Lynn, Yokoyari Mengo The manga still ongoing but no information or even continuation...

Retort Pouch! [レトルトパウチ!] (still unfinished-...) This manga is quite...naughty. By becoming the students in an elite school doesn't make either Sachiru nor Tenga happy. Their dreams to have a real education in National Elit Academy's High School are evaporates like dew. Like its name, only wealthy can go study here. But, all of them in fact are messed up people. This supposedly educational institution to teach the students about knowledge and behaving in manner does the opposite and highly appreciate the students who like to fuck. This school main purpose is "love". In the era of birth crisis in Japan, this school stands us the pioneer by teaching their students how to love. It's like a manga's relative of Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou above. When the main character has no choice but forced in situation to engage in smut activities (yet it still not into smut scenes, it'll probably soon only if the manga continued). The background element is kinda the same like it is that the school is for the wealth only, tuition part and so on. In Retort Pouch! manga, the school is treating the "love" like an achievement which they have to conquer, and conquering in here means they indulge in the desire for sex. The school main purpose, as stated in manga, is about how the students can learn how to be in a relationship so they can marry in the future and give birth as the Japan in that time has problem of decline of population. Well, this school even has its own special lesson named "Virgin tutoring lessons" with purpose to teach couples to have a normal relationship and matching proper couples for marriage. It's deeply related to our main characters because they are, Sachiru-san and Tenga-san are the famous supreme virgin students. In another hand it means, they're not like what the school wants them to be, they don't even seem interested like other students in lovey-dovey activities. This is where the school will go rough to make them learn precisely. This series is quite funny, and I like the gyaru girl. Her personality is making me curious af. The illustration is great! The character design is both simple and classy. They are expressing their auras through their styles (design characters). Can't say much still about it, this manga...is really hanging. It's not like the Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou which actually is a "happy ending" inserted in its chapter and with an open-leading ending subsequently (before the latest chapter updated (Chp 11)). Retort Pouch! in reverse in fact should have a continuation from its last chapter, but has no information for any continuation yet 'til now. [minutiae] Akeboshi Sachiru. 1st year. The weakest among the girls known as "four supreme virgin queens". Kiyoshi Tenga. 1st year. Sachiru's male friend. Uruwashi Ema. 2nd year. She is a beauty gyaru girl. Such a real rich lady and care about world peace. She is one of the "four virgins". Mebae & Rika. Other students that follow the school's term and their instincts. |
