Fetiplle or Fechippuru is about couples that love each other due to fetishes.

Although it may sound weird this has become my favorite manga to date. It has pretty fleshed out characters and I really liked it because of that. This story is pretty unique as it dives into a weird topics but somehow manages to not weird you out but instead to keep you entertained. Then we have the art style and let's just say it is really beautiful as it captures every scene. As for enjoyability I think people would really like this manga if they tried it out.

Fetish Couple/ Heartwarming Romcom

If you are looking for a sweet hot chocolate, this manga is for you ~~ (ง * ̀_* ́)ง

*Minor Spoiler*

The beginning of this manga is simple:
Tatsu, Male MC, has hair fetish
Kotoka, Female MC, has back fetish
What happens when they are attracted to each other’s hair or back?
... Tatsu and Kotoka become a couple <3

Along the way, there will be some side characters such as friends or family members that have different fetishes as well.

For me though, what makes this manga special is its own way of displaying affection toward each other. Sometimes, I might feel that they were simply complimenting each other’s hair or back; however, those are just signs for some upcoming light grenades (filled with maple syrup) to show the audience how they truly LOVE each other (even without each other's hair or back)… RIP my eyes and my teeth.


What to expect:
-Funny conversations or teases between Tatsu and Kotoka
-Scenes that forces us to gulp maple syrup
-some unexpected laughter
-(for readers that has hair fetish) The mangaka is actually good at drawing Kotoka’s hair xD
-a new way to hug: https://imgur.com/zjNiVtz

Story: 9 (still young but great start and concept)
Art: 9 (The art is decently well-drawn)
Character: 8 (character development isn’t the core of this manga, but it’s alright)
Enjoyment: 10 (Too sweet, definitely a good read when you need sugar and to de-stress)
Overall: 9 (A great read for people searching for Romcom)

When one asks “What do you like on your boyfriend/girlfriend the most?”
“His back!” or “Her hair!” is certainly not an answer one would anticipate. This manga has this kind of extra twist – the main couple being fetishists.

The drawings are beautiful; the character designs are beautiful and the artistic detail on hair is also beautiful, given its focus on hair fetishism. There is a lot of situations with opportunity to draw the characters in outfits and various poses (especially girls) to show even more beautiful drawings. Every panel is truly a piece of art.

The manga searches for ways to get the couple together, but is ... very slow; some chapters even feel irrelevant. It gets boring pretty quickly overall. On the bright side, it has some truly heartwarming moments and even some spicy romantic interactions. Aside from that, the story is pretty generic based on rom-com standards.

The whole manga is divided into two stories, pretty much equally long. Like most people who have read it, I also prefer the first story much more than the second. Remaining good with the visuals, the second story is just more empty and has much more visible flaws that are present in the first one. Later it reintroduces the characters from the first story, which may bring a bit of familiarity and renew interest to read further.

Nothing is really that much special about this manga. With only one very weird quirk at hand, it offers virtually nothing new. You may want to check it out for the artistic value, but not really for the story; especially the second one.

Pros:
+ very good artstyle
+ heartwarming moments

Cons:
- very slow, nothing much happens
- much weaker second plot line
- originality based solely on one goofy quirk

Double-edged:
+/- has some story progress, but very limited
+/- later combination of both stories

5/10 (AVERAGE)
