Love Junkies is an entertaining mature romance comedy series that certainly has a large portion of ecchi content yet the good quality in its story setting, artwork, and areas of character development certainly makes this manga worth checking out. To myself, I somehow find it refreshing and unique that a heavy ecchi manga can bring out this good assortment of quality.
While the main setting has Sakibara Eitaro gaining confidence on dealing with females and sex, this manga actually goes through several story settings where Sakibara gains different experiences from certain females. While some of the experiences may involve ecchi content, the females involved
with Sakibara have justification reasons so it plays out a better purpose in the story.
As for characters, Sakibara Eitaro is probably one of the better typical male protaganists I have seen in a while. Granted he does have his usual perverted side, but he also displays care and concern to other females he is currently involved with. One of the facts that I personally enjoy about Sakibara's character is that he goes from an unfortunate virgin to a person that becomes more bold in making his decisions. As for several of the female characters, they generally at times play out a necessary role in helping Sakibara gain his confidence in dealing with women and sex. Also "yuri" fans should rejoice because there is quite a few panels of content between certain female characters.
As for the artwork of the manga, I would have to say it is pretty much perfect from my viewpoint. The characters themselves are very well-drawn especially the several attractive females that come from this manga. Also, there are several good illustrations that fit well in different settings from the story.
Due to the mixed views of heavy ecchi content, that would be the main reason for my overall score. However any readers that enjoy their heavy ecchi content will certainly enjoy this manga.
*Be warned though, there is a lot of sexual content in this manga.
