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.

R-18

rating: mature
volumes: 4 Complete

R-18 is by Sugi Emiko. I just read the first volume. Riko is a regular high school girl who writes a sex advice column in a magazine. The problem is that Riko has never had "experience" before and she gets all her inspiration from watching a lot of porn. Her persona in the magazine is R-18. A boy with many odd jobs (Minato) finds out that Riko is R-18 and he uses that to bribe her. Minato also decides to help her "technique" but Riko is still thinking about it.

I thought the instant attraction between Minato and Riko was corny. Minato confession was bleh, hopefully the series will get better soon. In chapter 2 after Minato shows Rico a porn filming he tries to do it with her on the same bed the actors were. That scene wasn't sexy, that was borderline rape for me. And his "your body is MINE MINE MINE" thing was a little uncomfortable. I was happy his editor came to interrupt it before anything happened. He doesn't pull anymore rape stunts after that but it's only the first volume so...

I thought the art was average but I love Sugi Emiko's use of screen tones.

I'm still going to read more but so far the series isn't anything great.

It's Not Like That Darling

Hello everyone this is my first post.


rating: Mature
volumes: 3 complete
It's Not Like That Darling is a josei manga by Nagae Tomomi. The story revolves around a college girl named Maiko Ninomiya. After having recovered from her accident she has been having frequent erotic dreams about the same guy. One day she gets trampled by a stampede of fan girls following the new literature professor,Yukiya Nagase. Turns out he's the guy from Maiko's erotic dreams! Her heart beats fast whenever she's around this stranger. We later find out that Nagase was in a relationship with a woman named Haruka who passed away recently. She donated blood to Maiko after her accident and the theory is that Haruka's emotions are possessing Maiko's body. Maiko decides to live with Nagase to be around Touya, Haruka's young son who calls Maiko "mommy".

A couple of years ago I read the first two chapters and was hook. But there wasn't any more scandalations for a long time. Finally I've read the complete series.

The art is really nice. It's very clean and I love the use of spaces. I love the line quality and the expressions the characters make are really good. I haven't really read that many smut manga before so I didn't know what to expect. This is NOT hentai. The erotic scenes are tastefully done, very sensual and there aren't really many of them except when Maiko dreams about it in the begining. The most erotic part of this series was the extra oneshot at the end about an office worker and her boss.

The story has a lot of plot twist and gets a little cliche with the love triangle towards the end. Maiko does a big sacrifice at the end but it works out well for her, Touya and Nagase.

score: 3.5/5
