"It's funny, it's vulgar, it does not care about social norms, and [it just] has fun with it all." -random dude on the MAL forums

STORY: 9/10
The premise of Ishuzoku Reviewers is very simple: four dudes go around touring brothels, and publish an article about their thoughts. It becomes a hit and they decide to keep doing it.
It's a relatively unique premise and it delivers well. It's a bunch of bros making a lot of innuendos and dad jokes, and I'm all for it. I definitely recommend reading the full reviews.
In comparison to other ecchi comedies, the humor in this manga is more thought-out in that ... it does not rely on the stereotypical ecchi encounters to force the reader to laugh. There are no dense protagonists tripping into high school girls' bosoms randomly. Instead you have a bunch of horny guys doing what horny guys typically do when they're horny, and having fun with it.
The best part is that it doesn't get repetitive. The author constantly comes up with fresh ideals for what kind of brothels will be conquered next.

ART: 9/10
It's rougher around the edges, definitely not something you would see in your typical generic slice of life manga. In a way, this really brings out the personality in all of the characters and brothels, as they appear with more distinction and depth. With this playfully vulgar approach to ecchi comedy, it fits perfectly. I'm no art critic, but I think it's pretty darn good.

CHARACTER: 8/10
The main cast is made of a colorful assembly of a human (Stank), an elf (Zel), and a fallen angel (Crimvael), although they usually take other additional members, such as a halfling, demon, etc. They go around touring different brothels with girls from different species, and they often have mixed opinions about these women. One thing they all tend to enjoy, however, is big oppai.
Stank reflects most of us horny males out there. He's got human tastes, cares mostly about appearance rather than "mana." He's mostly an average guy and his critique is usually positive, if possible. Somehow, perhaps because he's an adventurer, he and Zel are more reserved when money is on the line.
Zel, an elf and fellow adventurer, is significantly older and argues with Stank often about what is considered attractive. In fact, their first article is about elves, and Stank is the only one who sees them positively because they look young, while Zel rates them the lowest because they have the worst mana. His thoughts are usually either parallel or a direct contrast to Stank.
Crimvael is an angel, and is thus more innocent and reserved than the other two adventurers. Nonetheless, he has his innocence forcibly taken away after "being saved" by Stank and Zel. He sometimes has a good time when others don't thanks to his angel powers, and only dislikes it when his too-big dick is discriminated against or seen by his friends. It's noted that he has both male and female parts, which makes for a few hilarious situations.

ENJOYMENT: 9/10
I had a great time reading this manga. It had just the right amount of ecchi for me not to be horny but still enough to make the pervy situations fun to watch. This is definitely a comedy you should be looking out for in the future.

FINAL SCORE: 9 and a Lord Twigo out of 10

Reading Interspecies Reviewers is fueled by the obscene premise and your own unregulated curiosity. However, you will come to find that there’s a lot more to this series than it’s surface level stimulus. It’s main strength is the amount of thought put into the brothels. Since different species occupy this world, each brothel has it’s own set of rules and mode of operation. This works well with the episodic structure of the series since we get to visit a new place in each chapter. The next strength of the series is the main cast which consists of a human, an elf and an angel (and ... usually one more alternating species) who review these brothels for work. Since they’re different species their preferences and personalities usually lead to mixed reviews which are interesting to read. I personally love masha’s art and the half cartoon half anime style was perfect for this kind of story. I honestly can’t imagine a better artist for this series.

This story is one that is absurd in the best possible way. It combines sexiness and hilarity with surprising skill and is a Story and concept I genuinely didn’t realize could exist before finding this. It seeks to answer the age old question of all men of culture. What type of girl is the best to sleep with. Every chapter focuses on a different review at a new kind of brothel the gang decides to go to. The characters are funny the brothels are interesting and sexy and the story surprisingly goes into more practical factors of the different species than you would expect a ... comedy ecchi story to bother with. I can genuinely say this manga surprised me with how much I enjoy it.

*note to anyone who saw the anime first however, the anime tends to ramp up the sexy scenes more so than the manga did them so keep that in mind
