I started out liking this manga the characters some of them were fun and the main guy was well done, and likeable and several of the girls very nice. One the dark skin short hair was more and more obnoxious and the dark hair leader of the club increasingly abusive.

In the end I have dome to think the author is trolling the readers, making them accept trash more and more. Sad for it might have been really fun with a nice flavor of Ecchi instead it is just a nasty slide down hill.

The story at times was light hearted and fun, and there was even ... some nice development with the MC and some of the girls even the ones who started antagonistic, but over time none of them were allowed to develop any real feelings for the MC, while he more and more was just a target for abuse which is really not much fun in a story chapter after chapter.

The ecchi serves as a lure and bait. In the end even it becomes tiresome. i would say it is a sad use of the author's talents.

I'll make this very simple.. if you like ecchi comedy harem hijinks then it genuinely doesn't get much better than this manga. The balance of story, ecchi, harem, cute art and frequent laugh-out-loud comedy is just totally on-point. Don't be fooled by the torture element as it really serves as a great comedy-foil (without being over-used) to play off the character's antics.

Also don't be fooled by any overly pretentious reviews as this very much sits in the sweet spot between comedy, action, romance & drama that never takes itself too seriously but equally never becomes too episodic. There's plenty of cheeky mischief perfectly balanced with ... engaging story arcs and naughty 'accidents' that really make for an addictive read that's just hard to put down.

If you're familiar with Seitokai Yakuindomo and it's excellent comedy-timing then this delivers equally but with a much more consistent story, satisfying ending and character's you'll grow to love. Everyone has their penchant (and Ship) but personally I really rate the character art-work (Prez ftw!) and well-blaanced pacing where the story never felt too slow or fast.

As to the harem, well I won't spoil things too much but again if you enjoy harem shenanigans for what they are then this also delivers with sufficient 'progress' without overly spoiling the dynamic; which is some feat as a majority of harem-enjoyers will know.. precious few authors are able to successfully pull off that trick.

It's a real shame this isn't available in a licensed English version as it'd be a great addition to the collection. That said with a surprising number of original manga titles getting anime adaptations these days, just maybe we'll be blessed (or cursed in the event of a bad studio!) with this also being picked up. Fingers crossed!

The basic premise of this manga wasn't all that unique. After all, your average everyday Japanese highschooler being forced to become a member of a weird club with 5 hot chicks isn't exactly new.

The characters are also all average with generic personalities (Rich Girl, Big titty Senpai, Tanned Foreign Return Girl, Man Hating Girl, A useless Sensei who's the club advisor), and while the concept of a 'torture club' is new, it's basically serves as justification for showing the girls in erotic positions, and toy with the MC.

The art was nothing to write home about. Basically while I somehow made it through the ... ending, I have nothing to say about this manga that stands out. The ending was typical for harem trash from this era, and while I won't spoil it explicitly you can easily guess what happens.

So yeah only read this manga if you're REALLY into the school life/SOL/Harem genre ( I am), and have nothing better to do. Cause there are soo many better harem manga than this.

An ecchi manga for ecchi enjoyers.
Ecchi is very suggestive but not over the top. I really like the girls aswell theyre all best girls in my eyes. Oh and about the plot, don't worry about the plot its not important. the only thing that matters are the girls and the ecchi.
The manga has a variety of girls for every taste you can think of. The timid clumsy senpai, the lewd tomboy gyaru, the tsundere whos also pretty clumsy, the mature but wild sensei, but most importantly the medium and premium smug goddess Asami!
Every week I look forward to seeing their antics and whoever gets the ... heart of our typical harem mc if that every happens its prolly gonna be asami lol

*WARNING MINOR SPOILERS, BUT THIS IS A GAG MANGA SO THERE'S NOT REALLY A LOT OF STORY TO SPOIL*
Why is it that every harem and ecchi manga must have their main character treated like absolute dog shit.." This was a manga that I decided to start reading mainly because I was bored and was looking for something that was raunchy and something more down to earth to read instead of masterpieces like Akira or 20th century boys, I was scrolling down the ecchi section on mangakalot and found this little cum stain and thought that the girls on the cover looked sexy. After reading a ... few chapters the ecchi hooked me in and I used it whenever I needed too get my horny fix. Unfortunately the ecchi died down after a while leaving me to turn my brain back on after I had sunk down into 40 chapters and saw that the manga that I was reading was dog shit. Before I begin ranting I want to point out some good things that I liked before I had a bad time.
1. The art is very good, not on the level of say, vagabond by Takehiko Inoue, but good non the less
2. The characters (while not always the best) had good designs and for the most part enjoyed when they weren't just mindless women, In fact my favorite character tsurade (or somethings like that) has incredibly large breasts which she hide with bindings which caused me to jump back in my seat with shock when she revealed them, it was a great idea that was sadly ruined by the weaker aspects of the series
3.Ocassionally there's character development, I know shocker, this is something that a lot of ecchi anime need more of, with character development it gives the reader a warm fuzzy feeling like hugging fresh blankets out of the dryer and falling asleep after a nice meal, one of my favorite examples is when in one chapter the main character is left out of a really nice room on a train (for reason of which I still don't understand) but after sitting for a while the girls who left him behind came back and decided to sit with him instead of the nice room, which was honestly a nice change of pace after the previous chapter made me feel like my heart stopped working.
Okay thats all the good things, now on to the dumpster fire.
1. I cannot stress how terrible one of the main characters are, Asami is a rich girl who is the one who founded the torture club and carries out all of the pain inflicted on the main character and sometimes the girls, however she is just the most insufferable piece of shit I've ever seen in a manga. Not only is she a complete ass to the main character, she is incredibly sadistic, that might fit in a manga about s and m torture shtick, but even when their not in the club he is constantly touring him and playing mind games with the characters which isn't even funny to begin with, it just makes me feel bad for him, one of the worst instances is when after the Main Character decides to actually be very kind to the main 3 girls, all of them text him and see if he wants to dance with any of them at the end of a school festival, then The Main Character didn't answer and was put on a cross at the bond fire and asami says how he "mistreated" 3 girls at school (which was just him being actually nice to the main 3 girls) and all of the girls believe her and they just sit their, whats worse is that she never gets anything done to her either, another time Asami dresses up as the main character and tortured the 3 girls, and when the main character walks in all 3 of the girls are mad at him instead. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
2. ALMOST ANYTIME SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO THE MAIN CHARCTER THE NEXT CHAPTER COMPLETELY DROPS THE STORYLINE AND PRETENDS LIKE THE LAST ONE NEVER HAPPENED AT ALL. It is insane how much the main character is put throughout the manga, he never catches a break and its always Asami that seems to rob him of any closure in his time at the club, Granted the character is a scumbag( well sometimes but I'll get to that later) but still he tries to respect the women in the club but still gets treated like shit even when its not his fault, even when some of the main 3 girls are abused they just right it off like nothing ever happened, The same thing goes with character development, anytime where it seems like someone is growing as a character the next few chapters completely ignore it and completely forget about it.
3. (I'll keep this one short) While MOST the main characters are good for the most part a lot of times I find them being inconsistent with how they act towards each other, that's all I have to say for this part
Whoo needed to get all of that off my chest. Overall this is a pretty bad manga while the art is good, the ecchi will get boring around chapter 45 or a little bit beyond that, characters are flawed but somewhat enjoyable. It's a gag manga so theirs really no story all that much. You could argue that all the painful stuff that happens in the series is because its about a torture club, however their is a fine line between sadistic pleasure and straight up abuse and this manga crosses it several times while still infuriating the reader. It's really sad how all this turned out, it could turn out to be very good later down the line since as of right now its still being released but the chapters we have right now as a whole are very problematic, I feel like this could work a lot better if the character are each given more time to develop as a character and can really make the reader care about them, its a damn shame to see how much potential this manga has thrown away by blatant smut and little to no focus on characters, hopefully the author boku will be able to clean it up in later chapters (note: I referred to a lot of this in pass tense but its still on going).

Started great, but too much useless water for most of the time.

First 40 chapters are the ones that will develop every single main girl and right in the next chapter they should confess their fellings, but they don't. That is my biggest problem with the story. Too much useless information, too much bad things.

Main girls are weird, they like to treat MC like garbage for no reason. He proved himself too much times, but no. I don't like that the girls start to have feelings for him, yet did NOTHING till the very fucking end. I didn't like that Mc is your regular Rito from ... to love ru, who does nothing, always in monk mode, he will never be fallen to girls beauty, bloody fantastic.

Let's talk about girls and my problems with them:
Tomochika, Asami - the first one who is a sadist basically, I don't like her. She doesn't like mc, yet for some fucking reason close to the end she confessed to him, great. Mc and her didn't really had any connection to begin with, just some bullshit.

Tsuruse, Riko - the cancer of the story - the one who hates man because they perverted, hates mc, even when he helped her countless times, still the same, yet in the end she also likes him, great. The worst character of the story, the way she treated Mc is nonsense really, If I would him, I would just punch her and say fuck you.

Sakado, Karen - why is she the main character? She is not. A teacher that appears for a bit, then disappears for most of the story. Don't like her.

Mitomori , Wakaba - a childhood friend of mc who returned from america. She likes him, yet does very little. I don't hate her, but she is underdeveloped.

Sasahara, Kiyoka - a garbage character that I hated. The girls that mc likes for some fucking reasons, I guess because she has big oppai, yet she always ruins everything for me, when mc has great moments with other characters, there we have here to make it worse, she is like Tsuruse - a garbage character.

Daito is your regular mc, who doesn't have any balls (literally), he always wants to help anyone, yeah, yeah, we all know this type of characters.

Ending - it is nonsense. Author ruined it completely, he didn't choose anyone for the mc, like to be continued and that is it. I think it was a mistake.

Should you read it? Ecchi is above average, not to love ru level unfortunately, but at least something. The story is funny sometimes, not too long. I think you shouldn't
