Velvet Kiss is arguably Harumi Chihiro's best work. By far, the marriage between plot and ecchi/hentai always is a good one to read and observe. Especially if done well. Between the constant sex scenes and themes rampant throughout this work, there is a tender love growing between the two main characters that can be observed as the chapters fly pass. This love, while not clear at first, begins to slowly reveal itself and is very satisfying to see, if not being one of the main reasons to read this.
Harumi Chihiro's art is aesthetically pleasing to the eye in more ways than one, and in

This is my first ever review
I don't consider this kind of manga as an H manga, rather I put them on the smut category. Velvet kiss is an H-manga that focuses more on the story ( that's why I consider this as smut), like Virgin na Kankei, though this one is more of the dark theme and kinda gives off a mystery theme too. Story - 9 This story is about your everyday salaryman who got tricked(?) to an enormous debt and got another way to pay it, by befriending with a certain cute, beautiful, pretty, moe (sorry she is just too beautiful) expressionless girl. The story goes ...

Let me start by telling you that this manga obviously is catering to the male demographic, and it'd be very easy to write it off as some h-manga with a story, and if you tend to judge a story off of it's most basic content without looking further, than you probably will, but if you can gather your maturity and analyze the story as more than "OMG SEX!!!!", then you'll actually find this a really great story. I was hesistant to read it at first, I asked myself "is this just another h-manga" as soon as I saw the cover. Then I saw that it

Not your ordinary H manga, I must say.
Story - 7 Velvet Kiss starts off with the life of a normal "sarariman" (salaryman, jap term for businessmen) who one day finds himself with a huge debt, he was given an option to repay this by keeping a certain woman named Kanoko company. The whole story starts just like any other H mange, however the plot thickens and deepens the further the story goes, which along with the beautiful H content, will keep you wanting for more. For an H manga, it has an interesting story although keep in mind that this is a Hentai manga, therefore one ...

You know, I read this manga after I bust a nut, I finished reading this manga after I bust a nut in like hours before I finished it. My point is, my horniness isn't going to be factor on how I will judge/rate this manga, my horniness wouldn't cloud my judgement and post nut clarity would also help me out on reviewing me this manga. I ain't gonna praise it or rate it high because I'm blinded by my horniness, and because it has many s*x scenes, as a man it is automatically good when you're horny,

Work is a pain in the ass, isn't it?
Japan is a very workaholic society; I don't think I'd be exaggerating if I said they have one of the worst cases of overworked laborers in the world. Little vacation time, underpaid workers, and long hours, work in Japan literally "takes over ones life", more-so than any other nation in the world. Velvet Kiss shows this realistically. We see the characters juggle their love lives with work, which ultimately, is impossible in such a job-oriented society. I read in awe as Harumi Chihiro effortlessly told a story that flawlessly depicts this--a middle-class, average guy, through luck, encounters ...

Okay~ Honestly, this is the very first H Manga that I totally enjoyed~
I have always thought H manga are only read because of the H scenes. With a little plot and many H scenes and you're good to go~ But I guess Velvet Kiss proved me wrong. Despite the many H scenes, Velvet Kiss still managed to put off a good plot. The H are just there because it's just something a warm-blooded human being does everyday. It's natural (although the orgies are kinda bit fucked up). It has a real substance, the characters are well played, and the art is really good. I even found myself ...

It's a depressing porno. Myanimelist says I have to make this review longer, but I really cant summarize it any better than that. Each 25 page chapter is about 50% sex scenes between characters I unironically loathe, and the other 50% are characters being developed so that youll hate them and can then watch them have sex. I will admit the art is pretty good, but again, its all basically illustrated porno; even if thats your thing, I think that if its not a pornographic manga, including scenes that are their entirely for titilation is just distracting. And the sad part is, there is actually

Velvet sky for readers like me who haven't delved much into this genre hits you on the face with its unabashed use of sex. Too a reader unfamiliar with this genre one can be forgiven for initially thinking it's just another Hentai manga, however this cannot be further from the truth. The Mangaka uses the motif of sex beautifully to display various levels of the human psychy such a Loneliness, the lust for power, control among other things. The sex sure grabs your attention initially but one is hooked to the manga as one reads on because of the way it is written. The art

It's a really good H fix if you know what I mean....
Story: It's only been 2 chapters so I can say much about the story. It's about a guy with "bad" luck that gets laid a lot. I don't see that as bad luck but whatever. Art: Strong point because the art is super MOE but doesn't get to revealing by showing genitals and such. It's classy H if there ever was any. Character: Stock characters but realistic in a sense. I don't know about you but a girl that hot is gonna be a horny woman and that makes sense to me. ...

Velvet Kiss has undoubtedly kept my attention for the past two days I have read it. To me, I found myself wanting to read more and more as the story progressed, asking myself, "just what will happen to Nitta and Kanoko?".
So what what made this such a compelling manga to read from volume to volume? I will care to explain. Story - 10/10 Okay. Yes this is a H-manga, and it's full of sex scenes. But setting that aside, The story has caught my interests because of it's storytelling. As Nitta may have looked like a sex toy for Kano, the reality is both were pawns to ...

well i dont know how to even explain the Manga, also im very late to this since this Manga came out in 2009 and now its 9/11/2021 (EU) this Manga is very hard to understand and to be honest i still dont understand what this Manga was about haha. Well it has alot of sex and some coloured pages on the start (which some are sex pages mostly) the reason i dont like this Manga is the poor story i dont understand it at all read all the chapters yet all i know is sex and someone needing to pay debt. To be honest the

Oct 9, 2012 I was intrigued by the ratings that this manga get from the readers, because the synopsis I read didn't really get my attention at all. But when I saw the cover drawing of the manga, I decided to try to read a few chapters and continue if I like story. Obviously I liked the story as I read the first chapter, and finished the whole story for an estimate of 4 to 5 hours. VK is already completed and has only 32 chapters. For the Art style I give it a 8/10 rating. The drawing is awesome especially the ... 
Sep 13, 2012
the story was just awesome....i'll give 9/10...
just superb, A very good manga i read after a long time.....high quality drawings too.... but in the end, i was expecting them to get married, and as Nitta was a working man, i was expecting that he would take over the company, even not so, that was OK too, but when the manga said after 3 years? that was unnecessary, and Nitta should hav gone with her... DAMN...i was expecting too high...but still, this Manga is very good and very heartwarming & touching...!

It's not the first time. Still, I was somewhat surprised to realize the fact that H Manga have the most interesting love stories. Are these innocent stories? No, not in the least, and that's the beauty of it. This is not a good story to escape from the reality, this will drag you down to the mud. Nevertheless, I belive this one is still digestable for everyone.
Who cares about the fake, pretetious, empty, self-insert characters with a story that ends in a hot steaming handholding? Not me, that's for sure. This is a love story of a flesh and blood couple with problematic personalities and ...

Velvet Kiss with only 4 volumes and 32 chapters is a story of your average office working with luck always by his side. Winning a contract of famous firms, winning in the lottery, but what if you suddenly found out that you had an 80-million yen debt within 1 day? What will you do?
Story : 9/10 The story was introduced nicely, introducing the protagonist, stating his background and suddenly revealing the main problem. The story was not so unique and it was quite predictable. And even thought it has only 32 chapters, everything fits perfectly. However, while reading this, you could feel that some of it ...

Velvet kiss.
I hate my friends. I lost a bet and they made me read this as my part of the deal. Then, let's get on with the review. Story- 7 So, the main character gets blackmailed into a massive debt, which he has no chance of ever paying back. So, what happens to him? He's roped into "befriending" a girl. Except, this girl has a few quirks. Art- 8 The art fits the genre of seinen. It's... graphic, but lucky me, the *Ahem* guy parts are censored. And that's all I'm going to say about the art. ... 
Sep 29, 2013
I never expected to actually find myself reading this but.. oh well :)
Story - 8 It starts off innocently enough with a story about a normal salaryman who gets himself into a pinch with a huge debt on him and the only way he's going to get through this is to be "friends" with the daughter of the company that he owes a debt to. And so the story continues as the setting gets darker and the plot thickens, per say. xD Art - 10 Harumi Chihiro's works have always been well made. Unsurprisingly, it is the same for this manga. ...

Just writting this as I hope the author may see this?
Please, do a continuation? Velvet Kiss is perfect as is, BUT, it leaves us wanting to see a [spoiler]"true happy ending"[/spoiler]. Its tragic and sad as it terminated. I liked the series because of it sweetness, but it is also bittersweet, and realistic. The thing I didn't like about this series is that it is too brief (short). I read it all in less than 2 hours, it has lot of plot twists for a series this short, so it made me feel like in a roller coaster of emotions. I think there ...

This was my first real hentai or ecchi manga i dont want to fight over what it was because it worked in both ways to me. The character "Kano" was beautiful, sexy,hot, cute, seductive, but most important to me was memorable. She shows the deeper side of her when she is with the main guy and also a dirty side which i really wish i got to see from more girls :P
Dont read this for a story or for some great characters or anything like that, just read it for the art and how "Kano" can seem to draw you and making you...uummm want ... |
