Dear Reader,

Let me tell you this was not an easy selection to complete. In both the effort it took to track down the last volumes and the grind of reading through to the end, this was a tough one to do. On with the review...

The melodrama that is the combination of sex and high school life has been done to death. Anime, Manga, Books, TV, and Movies, the entire spectrum of entertainment platforms have covered this genre. But, never has one taken it to such a pretentious, unintelligent, and ridiculous level as featured in "Uwa-Koi".

I'm gonna break this down into the MAL categories featured ... above; story, art, character, and enjoyment.

1) Story-

The story is a load of garbage. It exists only to give a confused, horny, teenage boy a reason to have as many sexual encounters as possible. It then finds excuses to have more characters enter the story just for the purpose of more intrigue and sex. Then, when things do reach a *giggity* climax, the writer(s) take a massive cop-out and end this farce in the most aggravating and lazy way possible. This alone makes you feel you've wasted your time.

2) Art-

The art isn't too bad. The character designs are nothing special and each have enough distinguishing features to tell them apart. There are many scenes that just feature gratuitous sex and acres of flesh. There is very little beauty in these sticky fumblings and while they do have some creative censorship, it's nothing more than NC-17 pornography on display 50% of the time.

3) Character-

Ha-ha-ha! "Characters"? That's a laugh! Okay, there's our main characters, a teenage boy who can't seem to control his sexual urges all while complaining about how "wrong" it is what he's doing. The girl he lives with who has loved him since childhood and is a little crazy. And the dark, seductive, mysterious, girl who our MC has a crush on and is a little crazy. Supporting cast is 99% female. But, all the girls in this Manga have serious problems and are only driven by 1 or 2 things; To bang our MC and/or complicate the plot through shady methods. There is not a single likeable character in this entire piece.

4) Enjoyment-

This sort of stuff is targeted specifically for those who like angst-ridden erotica. I can identify with the absolute whirlwind of confusion sex causes the teenage mind. The overpowering urges caused by raging hormones, who wouldn't be thrown through a loop? The Manga uses a good analogy, "Playing with fire". It's true. Dangerous and confusing times. But, "Uwa-Koi" disregards the important questions it raises by always ending with the boy and girl having sex. All the banging featured inspired me to bang my head against the wall. I got a few chuckles here and there, but only frustration at the stupidity on display.

Overall-

This Manga can provide a cheap thrill for those interested in one, but I don't recommend it. Partly due to the monotonous nature of the plot and the ending which had no thought put into it. I'm left with nothing but a chip on my shoulder and a bad mood after putting so much into getting through this sex-romp soap opera. Please, don't waste your time with this. They messed up so bad and then added insult to injury with the ending. God forbid if they ever make this into an Anime... Overall 2/10. Dreadful. Stay away!

I do not know why people criticizes much this series... Well in a sense i can understand since the Main Character is full of bullshit and has a superiority complex that all women would fall for him.
I dropped the series because how much anger this main character gave me(also back then the series wasn't finished translation too)... and for worst most of the girls do actually spread their legs to him so easily as if he was some kind of god!
That is the only bullshit i find on the series which made me drop it.

HOWEVER!!!! There is another side of the coin...

You have too look ... into the deep meaning of this story... and years after i first read this manga and dropped it, and after i encountered it again, i realize a few things based on comments and actions of real life men around the world and the bullshit they write on comments and forums regarding sex (and hentai).

This story shows that going banging girls around is not a game, that sex is not a game, that cheating is not "fun and games".

It shows that THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES for irresponsibility.

Many people i've seen around (Which I take the chance to give them a slap of reality when i encounter them), complaining and writing comments about harem anime/manga when the Mc shows hesitant to bang a girl, the people call this Mc a wimp, or sissy... when most of those Mc are just being RESPONSABLE.

People actually want the Mc to just jump all the harem girls' bones, consequences be damned.
There are also actual people in realize who just go bang girls around without thinking about consequences or responsibilities and then run away like cowards when karma comes to them with a vengeance.

This story shows that... shows the result of a Man who bang any girls he encounter without thinking of the consequences that those actions could bring.
It shows how irresponsible sex WILL end up.
Shows how Irresponsible people who cares about nothing will end up.
This is not a game people.

A TRUE MAN takes decision based on analysis of the situation thinking responsibly and having in mind the consequences that could bring any and all actions he take on a negative level.

I guess this is the reason why most people, specially the men, who read this series don't like it.
Because its a slap of reality.
Yes, reality is not a fairy tale and if you act like this main character and act irresponsible, THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES.
Most of them in real life has already payed for theirs... but they just curse live or God, blaming anyone but themselves for their own actions.

So next time you want to jump an innocent girl's bones... mind break them, or abuse her, or rape, or just simply have casual sex for just a night of loveless passion... THINK OF UWA-KOI...
And measure your thoughts and possibilities before taking action.
BE A TRUE MAN, A RESPONSIBLE MAN.
--
Also, this also goes to women who lately also had been rising on these irresponsible acts and accepting sex plays without thinking on the consequences... and the story also reflects on them.
But you know what is sad?
That these people will never learn... and most of them will continue on doing the same mistakes.

People goes around saying: "yeah lets have sex, its all fun and it makes you feel good! nothing bad will happen!" or "Lets all be sex friends and have orgies or gang bangs, its all fun!" or "Lets go do some rape or sexual harassment, or mind breaking for the thrills!"
Then shit hits the fan and this happens... then you see them desperate and running like cowards when karma comes to reclaim the debts. This includes both men and women.

Even worst, the characters in this story were all children... which makes it worst... and in real life children also are being influence to participate in these "games" on their own without thinking on the consequences.

This story is a slap of reality to those who believe sex is just a game, a good thing to pass time... then something like this happens.
What saddens me is how people who engage in these acts make fun of those who actually are responsible and reserve themselves to participate in such things. Calls them lame and other things... because "nothing will happen"... boy how are they wrong... things does happen... bad things... real life is cruel. And those who refuse to engage in these acts are saving themselves from grief.

--
You know... at first when I started to read this story. I thought that with all the crap the Mc went through in the beginning, he was going to try to make himself a better person, to strive to be better
I thought that it was going to be just another romance harem series with a Nice passive guy who is indecisive between the girls in his harem like most are and then in the end he had to chose or story would be inconclusive, boy was I wrong.... but no... he went the other way and became an irresponsible sociopath prick that acted without thinking on the consequences and then ruined many people's lives because of it... and worst is that He didn't care.
It was not until getting raped himself when he started to "Turn a new leaf" but by the it was too late.
His dark karma was way to big and heavy... and he didn't even get to start doing the right thing... as he was killed out of revenge by another dude who's mind got broken by these irresponsible actions and witnessed something that broke him.
The series ended as it did because the author tried to teach us something... teach us that reality is a bitch and if you are not responsible you have to pay dearly soon after for your actions.
In the end, everyone in the SF club paid for their sins in X or Y ways... some of them came out not so harmed than others but they still had to taste karma.
Sad thing is that that these people will never learn... and most of them will continue on doing the same mistakes over and over again without remorse or not caring about the consequences those actions will bring to themselves and the ones around them.
Honestly Yuki came out of it pretty easily... being run over by a trains is merciful compared to worst things that could happen.

If we could count the little sins that lead us to a strange situation, on Tamaki Yukiteru's account overflow from his childhood when he accidentally burns down his house. He currently lives with the family of Yuno, her neighbor and childhood friend, who wants him "crazy", but he doesn't sense this kind of "like". But secretly dates Saotome Rena, a friend of both, who recently moved to their High School. It would be great if Yumeno Kaori, classmate, had not discovered this secret relationship at Yuno's eyes, and cause a silent pact with Yukiteru-kun somewhat peculiar. . . And the list of small sins ... does not seem to stop there.

So is a fault on genre on the tragedy part - it must be clear and put the label -, so more the yandere part must put on it too, 'cause isn't a simply sex - ecchi -, so harem plot here. If you hope that it could make you have a disappointment. And don't hope any HE.

This seinen is guided into a tragic conclussion, so the sex plot have an important rol on it, also the issues to manage a no sane near relationship since childhood, so many secrets on life, I mean on Yukiteru's weakness, so simplicity and the way he drives his own life and relationships.

And each character main or secondary have their own dilema so issues. The plot go more difficult ahead till ending.

As another review here already stated, this is not a good manga at all, I don't have a lot more to add!

The plot is horrible, a 16/17 year old kid that is "dating" his roommate and two timing with her roommate's best friend, seems promising right?
WRONG! The MC is pathetic and turns the story into a frustating read about his problems that actually don't rlly make any sense! If he rlly feels bad about what he's doing why the hell he keeps banging that girl? The author tries to find a lot of ways to just plain stamp sex on the manga which turns ... it into a dull story, I can't rlly comment on the final cause I gave up on the 11th chapter but this was just taking the Harem sex path and looking like an hentai!

In my personal opinion this would be very good if it had ZERO sex on it, if the author focused more on the actual feelings of each char it would be an excellent manga! A kinder version of Nozoki Ana since it's highschool and not college!

The art is normal, I don't rlly have any insight on this part, but it's not anything amazing neither is it horrible

The characters are just retarded in a lot of ways, it totally loses the feeling of a seinen, mature, slice of life cause it's very irrealistic!

overall a 2 if u want give it a try but I rlly don't think it even deserves a chance

I had barely stayed myself to read this manga.
If there were the equivalents of what shonen and seinen are in the general sense for the hentai genre, this would befall in the absolute pre-shounen hentai category.
This is ridiculous to me. Everything can be made sense of, but in order to make sense of this story so as to properly become engulfed by it.. Well perhaps it's actuality not possible to achieve that.
The story was very good to me in the very beginning of it, but holy cow did that go south fast.
At this point, 32 chapters in, this is.. An author's sexual ranting ... with an attempt at a plot to hold it all as its skeleton ..?
It's not working for me.
The thing I care about the most in any story, the characters;
They are nonsensical to me, utterly so. The MC is an empty shell, and while at it, it's the first time ever that I feel like the MC isn't the MC.
This is basically a hentai, but without the full visual aspect.
I am just sad for Yuno, the initial girl. She is the reason I liked the story in its very beginning, and right now I'm only interested in what will happen with her.
Well okay, the Sakura Kyouko of this story I also somewhat like as a character. So that's two things which aren't bad in this story for me. That's something.
Let's see where to the end of this road will lead me..
...
And with its end, I've decided to bump the story's rating from one to 2, because the final chapter is 5/10 by itself.
This is the worst manga I've read, this and Sankarea.
Don't be fooled; Naturally, that is just my opinion. If you've enjoyed this more than I have, then you've won over me, while I have failed regardless of that.

This story is mature. There not too many characters who stand out. It is weird but compelling like reading a thriller. Once you get into it, you might keep reading just to see how it all turns out. I found myself asking WHY a lot. You'll see why if you read it. The art is not amazing. The only redeeming material here is it gets your heart racing. Very good drama. In fact, this would be a great material for a play. If you don't mind cursing, sex, and violence read it. If strong language and GRAPHIC images bother you don't read it. NOT FOR ... KIDS. Overall, I enjoyed i but was also disturbed by it.

This is a very interesting take on the so-called "harem genre" — where normally the protagonist has a large list of suitors that seemingly don't mind sharing, or can all remain friends despite the competition, this a rather gritty take on a more complex reality: the protagonist ever more gets sucked into repeated infidelity and sexual addiction until it consumes him and starts to endanger his reputation and life.

The members of the harem also feel more fleshed out than usual, and have more of a backstory, though it's not exceptionally detailed, they are often given a history and have interesting personality and sex outside of ... the protagonist as well.

True to the harem genre: the protagonist feels relatively bland and lacks agency, though it's far from as extreme as is usual in the harem genre.

The strength of this story apart from the dark, nihilistic characters is that it definitely feels like a clear progression: there is no ship tease that never concludes and there are no filler chapters; every chapter feels like it progresses the plot and that it ends on different dynamics between the characters than whereon it started. It feels like a very coherent, albeit surreal story that has a beginning, a progression, and an end.

The characters are generally unlikeable, but interesting. The protagonist is somewhat meek and first portrayed as being strung alone and unwilling to hurt his childhood friend but later revealed to be far more duplicit: most of the other characters are sexually exploitative of others and generally arseholes, but often in their own way with their own histories.

It features a lot of smut; it's one of those borderline pornographic comics where everything but genitals is generally shown as is common to this author.

First of all I write this to say I did enjoy School Days. It got 8/10 from me. The drama and plot twist in the anime were pretty interesting.

However, Uwakoi might as well be called "The Shitter Version of School Days." I honestly can not think of a single good thing about this manga.
Yes, I officially only read five chapters, but after that I skipped around slightly to see if this manga would prove to be what I thought it was. School Days.
School Days might be infamous for its little shitboy, Makoto, but personally I feel like Yukiteru of Uwakoi was worse. ...
Also the drama was a literal pile of shit. I thought maybe my eyesight was going bad, got me prescribed a pair of glasses. Nope, still a brown gooey pile of shit.

So heres the story. The entire story:
Guy likes this one girl, but acts like a couple with this other girl. Guy doesnt like the other girl but doesnt want to hurt her feelings. So he decides that he will be with the other girl in secret... and she knows about it and is way too okay with this. LIKE LOL OKAY!!!!
So their love triange goes on a bit like this, and we are introduced to several more girls, all of whom will have sex with our MC in some way or another.
Actual wtf from this anime... I aint even going to grade this, just saying its shit. The story is literally guy has sex with these girls. The end. Go home.

It is NOT romantic, cute, or even dramatic! From what I could tell when I left off, it was basically a plotless, tasteless hentai manga. Yep, I noped that crap right out of there. Bye bye.

If you dont want to waste your time but still want to read this manga, go shit in the toilet and stare at that for a couple minutes. It'll give the same effect.

tl;dr: An story about someone turning their life into a train wreck, that is enjoyable to watch unfold due to the set of screwed up and unlikable characters.

It is difficult to explain why I like this manga and I totally understand why it has such a low score. The protagonist is a horrible person, and the main heroines while I did like a reasonable amount I do admit aren't good people either. Really, no one in the manga is a good person, so they're not characters you can like or empathize with, but they're not characters you can enjoy hating either. There is character and relationship development, ... but as there isn't a particular fondness for these characters that doesn't have a lot of impact. The plot is ridiculous in that there's always something crazy happening, which doesn't really fit a manga like this, and to some degree there are things that feel inconsistent, but more so than that are completely random, especially the ending. There is a really high melodrama and angst. Now despite all this, I still feel the author completely achieved the objective of what they were trying to do, in that the reason I like this manga can be best explained by the opening, sometimes it's just really enjoyable to watch things burn. The protagonist may be an awful person, but watching him of his own violation send what seems like something happy and perfect hurtling towards destruction, watching everything falling apart and all the craziness that ensues, and ultimately seeing a glimpse of how things were in the aftermath was quite engrossing and engaging, and ultimately a very worthwhile read in my opinion. The art was also really good most of the time, especially the color pages, though there are some spots where it noticeably got terrible. 

Uwakoi is a messed up manga. If you are planning to read this manga you have to be ready for some shitty characters. The main character is a bigger man whore than Makoto Itou.

It falls into the yandere/yangire category even though the yandere part shows up rarely until the later chapters but that is my view on it.

Summary/analysis
(This manga could be a waste of time for you so I will TLDR it(leaving out the specifics for you to read. don’t read this if don’t wanna get spoiled for the manga or whatever...)

It follows Yukiteru who is living with his childhood friend, Yuno (yeah I get ... it, Mirai Nikki and all that). They go to school together and Yukiteru and Yuno are recognised a couple. Yukiteru says that he loves Yuno a lot but he really means that because he is scared of her. Yuno has a “scary” side. Yukiteru ends up fucking Yuno’s “friend”, Saotome Rena. I put “friend” in quotes because Yuno doesn’t really like Rena because of her cynical/edgy attitude. Yukiteru has a thing for Rena so he convinced Yuno to friend her. Rena says that Yukiteru should handle the whole situation with Yuno (or more well....implies it).

They end up having sex a lot of times without Yuno knowing. Later on Yukiteru gets blackmailed by a girl named Kaori. She has the pics of Yukiteru having sex with Rena and in the end Yukiteru is blackmailed into having sex with Kaori. Kaori invites Yuki Rena and yuno to a trip where yuki and Rena get caught by yuno. Later on Yukiteru meets Asagiri Alice...a rich girl who is older than Yukiteru. She makes Yukiteru think she’s a nerdy science fic girl that has her own club called the SF research. But SF really just stands for sex friend. Yukiteru says no. He says yes after that. They get into a threesome while skipping class with another girl. After that Yukiteru gets blackmailed AGAIN by Alice. Who says she knows Yukiteru’s situation between Yuno and Rena. So RIP. Later on Yukiteru meets all the members of the SF club including the male members, Aruse and Shion....WHO WEIRDLY ENOUGH, IS 14. Everyone in the club are members who are in a relationship and they get into an orgy. Also there is a club policy, those who aren’t participating in the activities have to record the things happenings.

Yeah...

Ok so later on New Years, Alice commits suicide (mainly because she hates everyone due to an event that happened to her during her...early teens? which led her to forming the SF club. She claims she likes the sound of “breaking” ) and reveals/leaks all photos and videos of the activities online in dozens of Internet forums and the school online board before jumping off her balcony. Before this happens however, another incident occurs. On Christmas Eve, Rena invites Yukiteru to come and stay together for the rest of New Years. By this time Yuno has been proven to be unstable and goes berzerk around Yukiteru. However before yukiteru reaches rena’s house his head gets smashed by Yuno who was holding a bat. Yuno rapes Yukiteru, now being pregnant after this event. Rena sympathises with Yukiteru and he learns to be faithful to Rena at last.

However this doesn’t last that long. Well now that the tapes of the SF club are out Yukiteru and the other members get expelled. Yukiteru lives with Rena and starts to try getting her pregnant. However shortly after Yukiteru meets a childhood friend named Etou who he later has sex with and then regrets it due to the fact that now he has matured he understands that there can be consequences for the stuff he did/or he is doing so he ends the relationship. Later when the characters are in their adulthood/late teens 18-19 in which the events originally took place 16-17, a few killings take place that link to the SF club. All the victims are males who took part in the SF club including, the now 16 year old Shion, and the 20 year old Aruse. However Yukiteru is unaware of this. One day he decides to go out for a walk to rethink his life as he was doing a lot of that after he got expelled. Once Rena finds out about the killings from a friend/acquaintance, she panicks. Yukiteru gets killed infront of rena’s eyes. The killer was a female member of the club’s ex boyfriend. The girl’s name was Miyuki Seles, a girl who had sex with Yukiteru and the rest of the club many times but with Yukiteru the most as in the end it reveals that she had Yuki’s baby and due to a miscarriage and a beating from her ex...she and her baby died.

Bro what can i say about this piece of art. I kingchiefsosa belive that this author is the Descendant of Jesus Chrisy himself. Imagine this, crying, feeling happy, feeling angry, cryin. All these unique emotions flowing trough your body, this i cannot describe easily, but this author is on a whole nother level, a whole nother ease of mind.

In the begining we are introdused to the main fucking mc, and already he resembles a fucking walking God. He is a loser not much to say one of those evengalion loser where eventually he can pretty much have sex with every single female. So we ... start off and already in the first chapter he is already cheating on a bitch. Mad.

Next volume he cheats on his gf with 2 people.

And so on until like volume 4 where he straight up gets invited to a fucking gangbang by a fucking HIGH SCHOOL CLUB MEMBER. Like im fr!!!!! He like ugh im so bored, hmmm this club looks hella fucking dope! Turns out its a sex club thing where they come to the club to have sex.

All the way to volume 5 where is dumb fatass bitch gf finds out and has a mental breakdown over him cheating on fucking 10 girls. Like at that point you are a fucking stupid mf like how can you not find out when he is everyday going to the supermaket for some food or some shit like?????

And yea sum it up. And that is the whole manga.

H forgot to mention but, like he starts a realionship with one of the girl and pretty much cheats on her too. (In the last volume)

When i was like into volume 3 i thought this was gonna be a school days crossover or some cus lol they exactly the same.

And i fuckiiing lovved school days. It was harem but, he actually fucks the girls lol.

Like the girls in both of these are like outside of reality. And keep in mind these are like 17-18 yr olds. Like they really think that after 8 girls you gonna have a bf that is so unique and special only for them to get upset when he cheats on em.

Overall i had fun reading the 1-3 vol, but later this juss burned my time and fast pased tru rest.

Spolierrrr btw

The thing about school days is that the mc dies in the end, however the mc in this story just lives. Yeah casually. After traumatizing 10 girls he juss like.
-Ayt what yall mad???

Like wtf you aint a gangsta juss a normal japan highschool boy.

And if we talking bout reality this juss spirlated out of control. 1/3 of the people reading this is gonna go: Holy shiit!!!! this is so real!!!! im moving to japan omg!!! baka baka!!! haha!!! komenosaii!!! (typical konosuba fans ))

with all said and done. this fucking sucked i get this may seem cool and all but, i was juss sleeping and snooring lol. And read this in one day.
