Synopsis

When digital photography nerd Tomonori Tsuda accidentally shoots an upskirt photo of classmate Hikaru Ohno, he discovers that (a) she has the Britney Spears approach to panties and (b) she's far more of a freak than anyone ever knew.

He gamely tries to use the photo to pressure Hikaru into sex, only to have the tables turned on him as they embark on a wild, woolly, and very wet sexual relationship in which games, domination and humiliation play an enormous part.

The following review it's in Spanish and English (translated with the support of DeepL).

The version read is the English Translation by “Mangaerotica”

The most recognized work of Sesshuu Takemura, and one of the most recognized in English for having been promptly translated during the 2000s. It may not seem particularly “outstanding” now in drawing or theme compared to similar works, however, at the time of its translation it did stand out from other contemporary works in both fields, which is why it was given this special recognition.

Starting from its theme, there is an interesting dynamic, the protagonist couple is a tall athletic girl and a short ... studious boy, their only common characteristic is their perversion, which will lead them to a relationship of exploration of fetishes and interests. The approach is effective and developed enough, both reaffirming their feelings, and being open towards what they want to experience, and since it's a hentai manga, it has that freedom to explicitly present what would be impossible in a traditional way.

Nor is it a treatise on sexuality or similar, it simply has a theme that encompasses all its characters, that “perverted sexual” interest as an opportunity to present different fetishes and situations. Constituting another plus point, given the subject matter, there is effort by Sesshu in the variety of approach, and then translating it to the drawing. Thanks to its little more than two decades of publication, you can easily find it uncensored, which favors the drawing (and enjoyment).

Apart from the sexual scenes, there are other different situations presented, where Takemura shows his skill and potential that he would have had in a “traditional” manga, including a few panels in the best Spokon style and others reminiscent of a romantic comedy. But where his dedication stands out the most is in the sequences dedicated to sex, in the design of his female characters, the illustrations are great, the act of the moment with its different expressions, and even when he includes more characters, the sense of what is happening isn't lost.

There is no major shortcoming except for having dedicated a little more narrative to the main couple in terms of trust and exploration of their interests, instead, during the second part more characters are introduced with no greater value than to present new fetishes and other possibilities. Although it in turn aligns with the main intention of the manga, I still find it a pity that it would not have taken advantage of the story's foundations to have enriched its thematic ideas.

Anyway if devotes a great sequence to gather all those points mentioned in a nice declaration of love that, again, wouldn't have that same impact in a traditional manga due to having to limit itself. In the freedom that allows it to be pornographic, it reminds us that attraction to another in a couple also has a sexual component of exploration, understanding and enjoyment.

Español

La obra más reconocida de Sesshuu Takemura, y de las que fue de las más reconocidas en inglés por haber sido prontamente traducida durante los 2000s. Puede que ahora no parezca especialmente “destacable” en dibujo o temática comparando contra similares, sin embargo, en el momento de su traducción si se distanciaba de otras contemporáneas en ambos campos, de ahí que se le brindará ese especial reconocimiento.

Partiendo de su temática, hay una interesante dinámica, la pareja protagónica es una chica alta atlética y un chico bajo estudioso, su única característica en común es su perversión, lo que les llevará a una relación de exploración de fetiches e intereses. El planteamiento es efectivo y se desarrolla lo suficiente, ambos reafirmando sus sentimientos, y siendo abiertos hacia aquello que quieren experimentar, y dado que es un manga hentai, tiene esa libertad de presentar explícitamente lo que sería imposible de forma tradicional.

Tampoco es un tratado sobre la sexualidad o similares, sencillamente tiene una temática que engloba a todos sus personajes, ese interés “pervertido sexual” como una oportunidad para presentar diferentes fetiches y situaciones. Constituyendo otro punto a favor, dada la temática, hay esfuerzo de Sesshu en la variedad de planteamiento, y luego trasladarlo al dibujo. Gracias a su poco más de dos décadas de publicación, lo puedes encontrar fácilmente sin censura, lo que le favorece al dibujo (y al disfrute).

Aparte de las escenas sexuales, hay otras diferentes situaciones presentadas, donde Takemura demuestra su habilidad y potencial de que hubiera tenido en una manga “tradicional”, incluyendo unos cuántos paneles al mejor estilo de un Spokon y otros que recuerdan a una comedia romántica. De todas maneras, en donde mejor resalta su dedicación no podía ser otro que en las secuencias dedicadas al sexo, sea en el diseño de sus personajes femeninos, son geniales las ilustraciones, el acto del momento con sus diferentes expresiones, y aún cuando incluye a más personajes no se pierde el sentido en lo que está sucediendo.

No hay mayor carencia a excepción de haber dedicado un poco más de narrativa a la pareja principal en los términos de confianza y exploración de sus intereses, en vez de eso, durante la segunda parte se presentan más personajes sin mayor valor que presentar nuevos fetiches y otras posibilidades. Aunque a su vez se alinea con la intención principal del manga, aún así me parece una lástima que no hubiese aprovechado las bases de la historia para haber enriquecido sus ideas temáticas.

De todas formas si dedica una gran secuencia a reunir todos esos puntos mencionados en una bonita declaración de amor que, nuevamente, no tendría ese mismo impacto en un manga tradicional debido a tener que limitarse. En la libertad que le permite ser pornografica, recuerda que la atracción a un otro en una pareja también hay un componente sexual de exploración, entendimiento y disfrute.

For the most part, this is a really well done erotic story.

I do want to be upfront to anyone interested in this manga that it does include fetishes, mainly peeing, and it does have a thing about non-consented actions. There's even a whole chapter on a non-consented action happening to one of the characters.

If that sounds like it's too much, this isn't for you. That's okay. At least you know.

Now, for a series that's mainly about sex, I love that nearly every sex scene is different. The author really expresses the body in different positions in a very energetic manner.

I love the main characters: Oono, ...

I'll shitlist this so that you don't have to! It has forced cuckoldry snuck in RIGHT AT THE END. Avoid like the black plague if you came here expecting the kinky romance that it sold itself as for the first 10 chapters.

The art is pretty passable for such an old doujin, but the characters are 1-dimensional. The main heroine was pretty likable until she insisted on a MFM threesome.

The story is simplistic. A villain is a villain because they're a villain. The main villain gets raped by the next villain etc. Basic twin trap boys, basic old loli virgin. Not much to see ...
