Eerily predictable and wanting to be comedic when the mood does not call for it, Kapon is unsatisfying even for the die hard ecchi/romantics. It tries to be comedic when the mood does not call for it and is barely classified as "ecchi" when it has less than five PG-like nude scenes. The three volume series is one that can easily be found in bargain bins at Anime Conventions and would be lucky to be bought cheap by a foolish shopper who would be better off buying the similar in plot series Special A or likewise.

For fans of Special A and male-dominance/moe series, stick to ... popular series that are popular because they are good, not crammed with as many sex jokes in as close as a proximity as possible like this series.
This is not ecchi, romantic, or comedic. It is strictly dumb.

This tried to be a romance, but it fell pathetically short. I actually thought I was in for a treat when it didn't spend 30+ chapters on the MC's trying to figure out their feelings... but the readers were backstabbed.

Instead we got overly cliched, obnoxious, and laughably transparent plot points. Ones that weren't even fleshed out. Sometimes the "plot points" were only a few panels.

The characters were so obnoxious I had no idea why they were trying to be a couple. The female MC isn't just the typical dense-but-goodhearted heroine, she's the stupid-spoiled-dramatic-immature-unnecessarily argumentative kind. And the boy? Exactly the same.

While reading this I had ... to step away on multiple occasions. Maybe I was too old for the kind of girls they were trying to target, but this felt like watching two 10-year olds declare love for eachother, then fight, then "Get back together", only to argue because Johnny handed another girl a pencil.

The art was nice though. So. Good on the artist.
