Akira Shindo has been transferred to Fuga High School where she is almost raped by a group of young thugs. She meets Mahiru Suruga, a mysterious but beautiful girl with both arms in bandages. Mahiru is aloof and cold. Her motto is, “I will neither rely on others nor have anything to do with others.” The two girls get caught up in a series of incidents at school and Mahiru, a strong fighter, always manages to sort them out. Mahiru starts to soften up, as she becomes friends with Akira, who loves to stick her nose into other people’s business.
The mangaka to this lovely series has a superb art style, the character development is great too, while the story brings upon a few sparks. Why Mahiru is bandaged, and her fateful encounter with Akira which leads to various other unfortunate encounters with trouble. Kobayashi Hiyoko is known for his Ecchi genred manga, and he doesn’t fall short here. In addition, most of his work are intended for Adult or Seinen (18+ male) audiences, so you can expect non-childish, mature content, just not full-scale nudity, as this is NOT a hentai.
P.S. Sorry for the long absense, I really didn’t feel like blogging nor could as I had/have various fansub projects to maintain/work on. It seems I won’t be able to promise whether I can keep blogging on a one per day basis anymore, but I’ll try my best… It’s kind of hard compiling and organising each one of these manga, especially if they are over 10 volumes, then writing about them from memory (with the help of MangaUpdates).
Nekota and Hoshino were always arguing at school, but in reality, Nekota actually has a crush on Hoshino. One day, he finally gets up his courage to tell Hoshino his true feelings, but she rejected him with mixed feelings. Feeling sad, Nekota goes home to find that his dad is remarrying another woman, but the catch is that Nekota has to live alone with the woman’s daughter while the two parents go to Europe. The daughter of the woman, however, is Hoshino… What will happen between the two while they live together?
After a long break which resulted from exams then laziness, I’ve come back to finish up the remaining series’ as well as any new ones before I get into the current. So to start off, I have Parallel. The story of Parallel is a little complex compared to it’s counterpart Pastel series (which is still ongoing); a rather simple story of incest themed love holdings. The art is nice to look at, nothing shallow or too strong, character development is progressive and a bit fast considering the size of the manga as a whole, but do note that this particular mangaka (Kobayashi Toshihiko) likes to make each chapter around 30 pages in length, so it’s well worth the read. Overall, I loved this reading, and hopefully, once Kobayashi is done with Pastel, he can bring more incest themed futari (two persons/couple – usually of opposite sex) relationships. My rating is a 9 out of 10; it fell short of 1 as you probably have guessed the reason by now.
Collection of charming and sometimes bitter-sweet erotic short stories: 1. Nagisa Prelude, 2. A Dream For Two, 3. The Secret Haunted House, 4. Snow Rabbit, 5. Ayane Of The Hot Spring Inn, 6. Manufactured Child, 7. Dangerous Corner, 8. Panorama, 9. Home Teacher!?, 10. Pavlov’s Dog, 11. The Corner Jam Atelier, and 12. Pig Tail.
I can’t seem the recall what the plot for each story was about, so I won’t re-download and blog about it. All, I will say, is that this hentai manga has its ups and downs, for all hentai genred maniacs. I believe it even has futanari for all those wierdos. And of course, for myself, it contains large breasted female characters. In addition, this is apparently a comedy, so there will be laughs along the ride. As for the rating, an average of 7.5 out of 10. Remember to have an optimistic mind and make sure to have tissues nearby.
“Onegai Twins” is a cute, incestuous love story between a boy and two girls who are supposedly his long-lost twin sisters. The story follows Maiku, Karen, and Miina. Maiku is a high school boy orphaned at an early age, now living in a house he believes is the house he grew up in.
I like reading incestuous manga stories, but usually only hentai. This one was rather difficult to understand as a whole and has various complicated twists. Like Onegai Teacher, this is not only by the same team, but was also an anime to manga adaptation. It takes place only a few months after the story of Onegai Teacher but with different characters, also has many characters from Onegai Teacher too, including the teacher, of course. It’s pretty much like Onegai Teacher in every aspect except the wierd story and ending. I however, did not like this very much and only gave it a 7 out of 10 rating.
A collection of 3 short stories from Kobayashi Takumi: 1. Koi kara Hajimaru (1-4), 2. Bitter Fruit (1-3), and 3. Nogi-san’s Boyfriend Situation (1-2).
I don’t know why I haven’t blogged about this yet, but here it is now. As the summary says, it’s a collection of three stories, koi kara hajimaru, the first four chapters, bitter fruit, the next three and the last two chapters are for the last story. As MU only had summary to the first chapter, partly, I’ll have to provide a more in-depth one for the others and current.
1. Koi kara Hajimaru is about a highschool male teacher that gets warned about trouble with animals by a card reader at a bar he and his friend (the card reader) drink at. The protagonist thinks himself as a lucky person who has gotten what he wished for and won’t get into any trouble, but a sudden encounter of fate brings him into debt of over 3 million yen, and various sexual complication arises. It’s a rather funny and exciting story further, and ends in a somewhat good/bad note for the protagonist.
2. Bitter Fruit is sadening and heart-rendering story of boy and his partner when he was younger. After a short sexual scenes with them, the story goes into present day, where he goes to visit the country with his girlfriend, and coincidentally meet that partner from back when he was younger. The story goes in-depth about how the that female partner was actually a “milk mother” to the boy and how the boy feels sorry for not getting back in touch to his sorrow. It ends with a scene where he is on his girlfriends’ lap, nothing explicit then though, but before, there are.
3. Nogi-san’s Boyfriend Situation is about a girl (Nogi) and her boyfriend relationship and where it’s going. Her boyfriend is like a tyrant and bosses her around, he is too lazy to look for work or do anything, and lives along with the girl. The girl works and supports them, the place where she works has another male who likes her very much and wants the best of her. A co-worker helps hook up the girl and that other male co-worker (the guy who likes Nogi) into a date or rather to go and drink, but Nogi’s feelings for her boyfriend overwhelms her and she feels she can’t do it, thus heads back home, to find that her boyfriend is thinking about finding a job and work, which then erupts the girl as she wanted her old boyfriend (his characteristic) back. In the end, the best one can describe this story with one word would be “twisted-love.”
Almost forgot to give a rating: 8 out of 10. Good art, some good strories, and good character development for the main story, while the others lacked.
Onegai Teacher [C]
Published 22/04/2009 Manga Leave a CommentTags: Comedy, Drama, Ecchi, Romance, School, Sci-Fi
A story mainly revolving around a tight-knit group of friends in high school and how they cope with several life-changing events that are never too far off from intimate relationships. The main character is a boy named Kei Kusanagi who suffers from a very rare disease which causes a comatose state referred to as a “standstill” whenever he is under severe emotional distress.
Note: The title was never “- sensei,” the Japanese characters “ティーチャー” phonetically spell “teacher”.
An absolutely great manga. Apparently, this was based on the anime, but honestly while watching it, I noticed more content than the anime. It was definitely much more detailed, but then again, the manga didn’t have some scenes which the anime had.
Don’t be too fooled by the summary above, this manga is rather a romantic love “twist” dealing with a teacher and her student, aka forbidden love. Well, not forbidden, but rather “not allowed” in Japan. Both the anime and manga are both very emotional, which make this story even better. So as you can tell, there are practically no flaws in the story. The art is superb, probably because the actual animation art was used, so everything was beautifully drawn. As for the character development, it’s a bit fast at the beginning, but does slow down substantially and have a great emotional (in which I cried) ending. This manga is really really good, and aside from Leave it to Sis is the only manga to receive a 10 out of 10 rating, in my completed list (but of course there are 10/10 manga in my on-hold/ongoing lists). Anyhow, check it out if you haven’t.
So close he can just reach out and touch her… Yuji Agatsuma is a lucky guy: His married older sister lives right near his university in Tokyo. He’s not quite living on his own, but sharing an apartment with his sister, Aya, should be a snap… Except night after night he has to listen to his sister’s passionate cries of intense sex with her husband in the next room over. And his sister has matured to a beautiful, warm and sexy woman. Yuji’s loneliness, his forbidden yearnings, force him to seek solace in some other woman’s arms. But he can’t get Aya out of his head, and no lover can completely take her place…
I ♥ INCEST – Do you? Rating: 9 out of 10. Another great incest-genred hentai manga which I loved. I don’t think I’d have to explain further as the summary does a great job, but just a few things. Such as this was by Tsuyatsuya, who is notably known for his incestuous series’, as well as the over-dramatic and painful (to read) manga named Tatoeba Haha ga which I will not ever blog about, even if I liked the ending very much, I might if the scanlation ever gets completed. So, in other words, the art for this is almost the same as those by Jamming, but more real-life-like orientated. The story is pretty straight-forward, and the character development is actually rather consistent and good. Enjoy.
P.S. Another hentai is to come in two days, then another two days, and once again before we have a week (or so) of hentai goodness. 
Wakamatsu Masato lives with his step-sister, Miyuki, whom he does not have blood relationship with. Their father is always working oversea (in fact, he has not appeared in the manga at all…) and left the two of them living by themselves in Toukyou. Miyuki is cute, nice, sensitive and very popular among guys around Masato. Masato has a girlfriend at school whose name is Kajima Miyuki, who is pretty and gentle, the ideal dream of every high school boy. It took years for Masato and his sister to realize whom they love and care most after a lot of events. The manga is very nicely written, with excellent layout, interesting story and character developments, refreshing art style and filled with youth and emotion. It also shows the dramatic improvement of the author’s skill.
I read this in two days, and I have to say, this is one of the best comedy-romance I have read, and to make things even better, I give a thumbs up to Adachi Mitsuru for the great work. The story flows as smoothly as you expect from a couple relationship/s, though, the last volume did go a bit fast. The character development was consistent and fluid, and the art, well, it’s like Jinbe, a little, but that’s where the comedy appears. Comedy via the art, what an achievement… I loved it so much, I gave it a 9 out of 10 rating. My only major disappointment was the ending for both sides (to understand this, you’ll need to read it). I really do hope Adachi Mitsuru makes more comedy-romance manga, but more romance orientated, because that’s the only genre I prefer. I, unfortunately, can’t stand sports-based manga, regardless of whether there is romance.
Natural Taste [C]

This volume contains 8 stories: 1. Natural Taste (1-2), 2. Grow Up Onee-san, 3. Piece of Memory, 4. Turn Up (1-2), 5. Un-expected, 6. Shuten Of Rengoku, 7. Deep Sailing, 8. Ura! Step Mother is Natural Taste. Expect very large breasts, step mothers, teachers and office ladies, there is also one futanari chapter, daring women making the first step.
I ♥ INCEST – Do you? Rating? 7.5 out of 10. By the way, it is brought to you by the same people behind “Leave it to Sis,” so you can expect beautiful art, and good dramatic plot.
