Aki Sora is a story of love between two siblings. So you already know there's incest in this manga, and if that bothers you, refrain from reading this. There are also other themes like exhibitionism, netorare, yuri and crossdressing, so it's not recommended for sensitive people who get easily offended.

Spoilers ahead.

The story starts with the siblings Aki and Sora's relationship being presented. Their love is so pure and candid that it's easy for the reader to fall in love and support them together, even though they are brother and sister. Sora is a meek, naive and levelheaded guy who does most of the household chores, ... he is very feminine, considering his appearance, mentality and role in the house. Aki is Sora's oneesan who is beautiful, smart and good at sports, a perfect girl all around, but slovenly when she is at home, and she is the one who usually teases Sora. Both characters are likeable and their relationship is beautiful. It's cute how they rely on each other, Aki being the most dominant, taking the lead every time Sora is confused, and Sora taking care of his sloppy big sister. Throughout the story, it's clear they are the only characters who understand each other, since they can't reveal their relationship to anyone else.

After the first segment focusing on Aki and Sora, the story introduces many female characters, turning it into a harem, and in most cases it's not that the girl has romantic feelings towards Sora, but instead just wants to have intercourse with him for one reason or another. This harem actually strengthens the feeling that Aki and Sora should stay together, since Sora is always uncomfortable with the other girls, and usually tries to reject them, Aki being the only one who really moves him. One of the girls in the harem is Nami, Sora's twin sister. She is a tsundere and sloppy, just like Aki to a less extent, so she also relies on Sora at home. She is a really funny character, always getting angry at Sora's timidity and being suspicious of him and Aki. The reason she is in the harem is not because she has romantic feelings towards Sora, but instead, she is envious of him for being a boy, since she is in love with a girl, and that girl is in love with Sora. It's at this point that the story starts to get deeper than you would expect from a borderline hentai about incest, Nami's plot is well written and thought provoking, making you care for the character and get emotional over her drama. Sumiya Kana is the girl whom Nami loves. She is a kind, modest and pure girl, a typical Yamato Nadeshiko. I think her role in the story is usually to contrast with the twisted minds of the three main characters, since she is just a pure girl who loves Sora, but she also shows that she is capable of breaking this image if it is for being with Sora through the story. Next one is Satsuki Runa, the exhibitionist, an outgoing and licentious girl who doesn't seem to be afraid of anything. She feels kind of out of place in the manga and doesn't have a deep plot, but some of her scenes with Sora are one of the hottest, especially since she likes to dress him as a girl. The last one in Sora's harem is Himekawa Alice, the student council president. She is just there for comical relief pretty much and doesn't add much to the story, but the chapters with her can be good if you are into netorare, and her interactions with her boyfriend are pretty funny.

Therefore, there are a lot of girls interested in Sora, which is funny considering he is such a girly character, but it makes for cute relationships with the girls, resembling yuri relations sometimes, which is pretty refreshing for a harem. There is a lot of sexual intercourse scenes in the manga, chapter after chapter, to the point it gets tiring. Even though this is an erotica, I thought it was too much and a negative point, but it was good to give the characters depth, since each of the girls react differently when they are doing it, which is an interesting point to pay attention to. The art is great, the characters are attractive, especially Aki who I fell in love with on each page, and the author's drawings are distinctive, I have also checked his other mangas and their characters always remind me of Aki Sora. But what really caught my attention about the art was the sceneries, there were so many beautiful panels, you could see the author put in the effort in this regard, and it was great to build the feelings for the manga.

I greatly enjoyed this manga and recommend it to anyone who doesn't get offended by its themes, has an open mind and wants a good and unconventional erotic story, and of course for those who are fans of incest stories as well.

Story (4/10):

It's about a kid who loves his older sister to the point where they enter a forbidden relationship with her, but for some reasons, there are other girls who almost use him for his penis. Which totally feels out of place when it comes to the manga.

Art (6/10):

It's an old-style art from 2008. It's neither good nor bad. It's decent.

... Characters (6/10):

Sora's character is the classic boy who always gets played with, but aside from that he's really good at helping others and is quite caring. Aki is has that older sister/motherly care aura around her when it comes to Sora, but in school, she is the usual top student who's good at everything. As for the twin sister Nami, I didn't really like her. She wants things but doesn't try to get them and does unnecessary things that won't benefit her from achieving her dreams. Overall, the cast feels like the usual, the only character I liked in the manga is Runa, because of her personality.

Enjoyment (4/10):

I would say that I enjoyed the first 20 chapters because it felt like a guilty pleasure, but by the end, I didn't really enjoy it because the point where it ended felt out of place and there should've been more to it. It left a bad after taste after finishing it.

Overall (5/10):

It was really enjoyable at first, but by the end, I knew that the decision made was for the best, but I still felt like the ending needed a little more context than what it did.
I wouldn't recommend it to anybody unless they are into incest/love-between-siblings/ecchi then that would be a good recommendation for them.

Ever wanted to fuck your sister?

I sure hope not. We're all well-adjusted human beings around here.

Aki-Sora is a manga which transcends barriers and breaks glass ceilings. It reaches for new heights, and achieves the impossible. It's in a class of its own- no manga could ever be as terrible as this.

This is a story about sex. Specifically, how many weird sex situations can you get in before the reader loses their suspension of disbelief and gives up all hope on humanity. For me that was the part where the main character had to act as a substitute "hot beef injection" ... for his friend who has Erectile Dysfunction.

Aki-Sora is a shitty h-doujin series that by some cruel twist of fate became a manga. It refuses to focus on the main plot- the relationship between the titular characters- in favor of getting Sora into more and more ridiculous sex situations so that the reader can get their jollies off without worrying about things like "Morality" and "Laws". It fails to craft sympathetic characters and a coherent plot because it's too busy thrusting sex in the reader's face.

Would Sora and Aki's relationship and the struggle they face in a society that abhors their actions be more compelling if the focus of the story was on them instead of the over the top sexualization that drips from it's pages? Yes. Would the subplot of Nami and Kana's love be more engaging if they didn't have sex battles with Sora caught in the middle (somewhat literally)? Yes. Underneath the thick layer of terribleness, there is a good idea, which makes it all the more of an affront when the author willfully ignores this because he wanted to write a sex story instead.

This manga has no redeeming factors. It's my measuring stick for how bad a manga can be- in fact it's the only manga I have ever given a rating of 1. I have never encountered something as offensively bad as this, and I'm not sure I ever will again. Leave this steaming pile of shit well alone.
