Gakuen Ouji



rating: mature
volumes: 6 ongoing

Gakuen Prince is by YUZUKI Jun. Mizutani has just moved to Joshi high, previously an all girl school it has recently become co-ed. But the girls still greatly outnumber the boys. It seems that the girls don't have much free time and with all the hormones, many of them target the few guys in the school for satisfaction. Munechika (I think he's going to have STD soon) likes to whore himself out there but Mizutani doesn't want any part of it. To keep girls from jumping him, Mizutani picks the nerdy and not sexually interested, Okitsu Rise as his pretend girlfriend. They are having trouble maintaining their fake relationship since the other girls have been bullying her.

Rise moves to S class but sadly she is also bullied there too. She looks like a completely different person without her glasses, sort of like a Clark Kent that makes sense.

Later on it gets disturbing, Mizutani gets drugged and molested. He gets rescued though. I'm all for girls cool with their sexuality but not when your forcing yourself on someone. The redeamable quality in this is that rape is considered a negative thing in this story. Tell that to the fangirls who think this as "hilarious".

The Bishies are drawn beautifully. The paneling is really good too, there are some scenes used like when Mizutani was running for his life, that I haven't seen used before.

I'm going to continue reading, it seems there might be something between Rise and another guy, Akamaru.
