Ayakashi Triangle is a manga that is not made for everyone. In a similair vain to series like Yuuna and the Hounted Hotsprings and To Love-Ru this series is extremely ecchi. Speaking of To Love-Ru, if you liked that than you will definetly like this as they are by the same artist.
Let's start with this series main selling point the art. The art in AyaTri is phenomenal. Yabuki Kentarou is a master at drawing humans and then specifically woman. But also the fight scenes and just general chill panels look really good. The art is clean and absolutely gorgeous.

Secondly the characters, they are great. The ... characters are all quite unique and fun. They are generally well motivated and fun to see, even is they are sometimes a bit wierd (Reo). The only downside to the characters is that they are sometimes a bit too horny, but that is to be expected from the series.

The Story isn't amazing, as it is generally quite epesodic, but the overarching plot is generally well done and especially the ending is well done.

If you like ecchi then you will definetly enjoy this and if you don't then this is probably not for you. The series isn't amazing, but it is a ton of fun and it is good at what it wants to be: a ecchi romcom with action elements.

Hello there . I won't bother you with a huge of text so I will be as fast as possible . The review will be split into two small parts :

First part (it is for people who haven't read this author's previous works and are just interested in reading an fan service/ecchi manga):
Yabuki Kentarou's strong points were never :the ability to write well constructed stories , well developed characters but in Ayakashi Triangle they were unexpectedly below average . I personally felt more connected with the side characters rather than the Matsuri who was completely uninteresting and existed as a ... horny material for the other main character called Suzu . In conclusion if you only want to look at some very interesting spicy art without having the need to read a good story , read this manga (buy and read the uncensored version of course) . But if you want a good balance between art quality and story , avoid it and don't waste your time.

Second part (is for the people who are familiar with this author and are very sure if they really want to invest their time and money for this manga):
As a huge a fan of this manga with high but realistic expectations I would say no , DON'T fall into the same trap as I did . I personally read it with the same mindset and expectations I had from his previous works and I can't hide fact this manga felt more like cash grab . This is no ranting /hating but I feel as a costumer who bought all the volumes , sad to report that I firmly believe that only the art quality will satisfy you by the time you finish the manga . This is one of the rare cases I haven't personally experienced before and I feel Yabuki used his fame , name and of course only the ability to draw some good erotic material (talking only about art , not the story) to earn cash and of course Shueisha gained from this too.

I would have given it a 5 or even lower if I didn't enjoy the art so much. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Despite what others might tell you, the characters are not interesting nor likeable. The story is dumb. The genderbending yuri bait is lackluster. Most of the girls are unsexy and worst of all is the romance. Why is the romance the worst? Because the couple we are supposed to root for suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

Suzu is so boring. She starts off as alright, kinda bland, but eventually she just becomes so unlikeable due to everyone in the story loving her for literally no reason. Legitimately she has very little personality traits that stand out in any way and out of all the girls introduced she has the ... most forgettable design. Her boobs and ass are average and she's consistently such a bore.

Matsuri is no better. While he's not quite as boring as Suzu, he has the same problem as her of having very little to invest in. He has a bit of a goofy side to contrast with his attitude in battle, but beyond that he's just...meh. Whenever he turned back into a boy he had absoluetly zero main character energy, the one thing I somewhat enjoy about him is his female counterpart design.

The other characters are no better, hell the one character I did like (Ninokuru) quickly sours as they repeat the same joke over and over and over and fucking over with him.

This is gonna be a bit controversial (maybe?) but I dislike Yabuki Kentarou's character design. I have not read the To Love-Ru manga in full but I have read certain scenes on certain websites, and I just plain do not enjoy the way he draws faces or bodies. Like his style is not bad, it's just that I have seen sexier and cuter girls in other manga that aren't even within the ecchi spectrum.

The lewd scenarios aren't really anything special either. Oh wow a guy falls into a girl's vagina/cleavage, gee never seen that before. I wish there was more erotic emphasis on the ayakashi and the ninja theme, like how come there's so little bondage? There should be more bondage if ninjas are involved!!!
