Welcome back to another episode of “I can’t believe it’s not hentai!” Except… why is this actually kinda good? I mean, for once, an author has decided to add some kind of plot into a fantasy sex story besides for the usual sex power-ups or just pure fan-service.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy fan-service, but it gets to a certain point with a lot of eroticas where you begin to question yourself on why you aren’t just reading a erotic doujin instead. Thankfully, this manga somehow balanced both of the two worlds because I can’t tell if my third leg or brain enjoys this ... manga more.

The plot is pretty unique, but the plot mechanic, of course, is derived on some kind of perverted/sex mechanic, which does make for some awfully weird/interesting scenes that does ruin any sort of “mysterious” or “serious” tension you’d usually get out of a mystery manga. But I can’t not admit that the scenes are pretty well-drawn. Ahem, anyways.

The characters are a huge weakness in this manga, as they are pretty shallow. There’s some attempt at development when it comes to the main character, but the heroines are too inconsistent/similar to be really enjoyable. I mean, the art design is barely different at all, and the childhood friend character is incredibly inconsistent in her personality. It’s like she doesn’t really have one besides for being “shy,” but that’s incredibly inconsistent as well.

Honestly, this manga is a huge switch-up from the usual isekai or op mc eroticas you’d usually read, and it isn’t a bad alternative at all. There’s going to be some flaws or idiotic moments solely because it is an erotica, but it’s still pretty enjoyable.

Man, this manga is by far one of the most random takes as somehow it is a combination of SuperNatural and Eros.
To sum it up in family-friendly terms, the characters must do an "act" to move against the otherwordly forces.
I have never seen "lovemaking" done in this kind of way so if anything it's a first for me.

The MC is a decent dude who is seeking his sister and somehow he is resolved to go along with all of this.
Story wise, it has potential for the long term but I am unsure if it is possible to develop a massive world with this kind of ... setup.

Who knows really? There aren't many chapters released yet so let's observe.
